-In a below thread I spoke of a poll I was conducting on Swine Flu shots, and asked if any of you wanted to participate. About 50 friends and acquaintances participated, including 8 from this forum. I don't know much about y'all on the forum so I took a guess at your ages from some of the posts and also guessed at your political leanings ...that was a little easier :=)
-Here are some of teh results from my unscientific poll:
-People over 55: 70% say they will take teh shots.
-People 21-55: 60% say they will take the shots.
-Grandkids: abpout 70% of people over 55 think their grandkids should take the shots (but from comments, it seems that only about 50% would actually tell their kids to get shots for the grandkids. They believe that choice is the parents and didn't want to influence them)
-Kids: about 60% of parents said they will get shots for their kids
(note: numbers for teh kids reflect the overall numbers for the adults)
-Where I could, I also ran teh numbers on the adults by education level, religious beliefs, and political leanings. Educational levels and religious beliefs didn't change the numbers much, probably because i didn't have enough variety in my group. However, categorizing by political leanings (as I viewed them) were interesting. Here's what I got:
-dems/liberals: 90% were going to get the shots and all of tehm thought their kids/grandkids should get them too. 80% of teh seniors were going to advise their kids to have the grandkids vacinated.
-repubs/conservatives: only 40% of teh seniors and 50% of teh younger crowd were going to get shots and have their kids get shots. Only 20% of teh seniors whould advise their kids to have the grandkids vacinated, some saying that choice was up to the kids and they didn't want to unduely influence them.
-independents; their numbers were almost identical to teh liberals' numbers (this should make MM happy cuz it seems to support his contention we are closet liberals).
-I'm not sure what all these numbers mean, but I was a little surprised at how few people I know were going to get shots for themselves but especially for their kids. This of course may change if it truely becomes an epidemic.
