Half of Americans are opposing the mandatory vaccination among employees, a poll states.
While businesses continue to push making employees vaccinated against Covid-19, many Americans are angry that their employer can give them a “take a jab or be fired” ultimatum.
Reports also show that customers are also furious that businesses are trying to mandate the vaccine to them.
According to a poll conducted by The Economist and YouGov found, 50 percent of Americans opposed business vaccine mandates, with only 38 percent of Americans, on average, believing that businesses should be able to mandate vaccines.
Based on the breakdown of demographics, majority of men with and without college degrees oppose vaccine mandates (52 percent and 56 percent, respectively), while women’s views on the jab mandate are somewhat more dependent on their education level. 63 percen of women without a college degree oppose the business-created jab mandate for customers, but only 49 percent of women with a college degree believe the same.
Additionally, blacks and Hispanics are somewhat more mixed on the business-induced jab mandates than whites; only 38 percent of blacks and 36 percent of Hispanics are against such mandates with 40 percent of blacks and 46 percent of Hispanics supporting such mandates.
Other demographic factors such as income level and age are less determinative; though there are some differences between different age groups and income levels, they’re generally about 50 percent opposed to the business jab mandates for customers.
