Fox News Personalities Started to Promote COVID-19 Vaccines. Viewers Have Taken Notice
When it comes to people’s attitudes around vaccines, their media diet matters, and Fox News is far from the only influential platform. Among a group of 15 news channels, newspapers and social media platforms, Snapchat users are the most likely to say they don’t plan to get vaccinated, at 35 percent, followed by Instagram users, at 31 percent, and Reddit and Facebook users, each at 30 percent.
The White House has called on social media companies to take a firmer stance against misinformation about the shots on their platforms in recent weeks, with press secretary Jen Psaki describing those efforts Monday as an “ongoing battle.”
Conversely, people who watch CNN are the most likely to say they’ve already been vaccinated, at 75 percent.
Many Americans remain unconvinced about the vaccines. Overall, 19 percent of U.S. adults said they definitely won’t get a COVID-19 shot — a level that hasn’t fallen in weeks — while 11 percent said they aren’t sure if they will in the future.
