Swoop, using CAPS doesn't make you right. jimjamuser has posted something with an easily Googled claim. So I used the Google and found:
AMA survey shows over 96% of doctors fully vaccinated against COVID-19 | American Medical Association
This is a survey report from early June being done by the AMA of practicing doctors in the USA using the WebMD physician panel. It was not a random survey, it was not Gallup quality. But it is the best data available. You might argue that those physicians who participate in a WebMD panel are better at keeping up to date on new information, or not.
The result of their survey which was 1/2 primary care and 1/2 specialists was that per the press release
AMA survey shows over 96% of doctors fully vaccinated against COVID-19
So I think, unless you have newer better information with a link, jim's statement looks pretty good. I will allow that over 96% does not mean 97%. It could be 96.1% But being that it was done in early June, the number can only have gone up since then.
In the interest in civility, it would be nice to see someone, just once, come online and apologize for calling someone a liar. |
It was a single survey of 301 doctors, hardly representing ALL the doctors in the US…
He has constantly posted saying 97% of all doctors in the US have been vaccinated.
Even the most pro vaccine people on this forum have agreed that a single survey, of only 301 doctors, without explanation of how the survey was taken, can not be given credibility…
