Vaccine skepticism among Americans is widespread, The POLITICO Poll found, indicating that one of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s animating priorities is gaining traction.

Results from the March poll of 3,851 U.S. adults conducted by Public First show that a plurality of Americans question the safety of vaccines, support reducing the number administered and believe that people’s right to decide what they put in their bodies is more important than preventing the spread of disease.

      None of which was mentioned in your initial complaint.

      From the article

      The poll was conducted by Public First from Mar. 13 to 18, surveying 3,851 U.S. adults online. Results were weighted by age, race, gender, geography and educational attainment. The overall margin of sampling error is ±1.6 percentage points. Smaller subgroups have higher margins of error. Source: The POLITICO Poll with Public First

      You want to criticize their methodology, go for it. But just whining about sample size makes you look like a an idiot.
