Gay and lesbian adults are more likely to be vaccinated against COVID-19
Gay and lesbian adults are more likely to be vaccinated against COVID-19 — here’s one theory why
About 85% of gay or lesbian adults reported receiving at least one dose of a coronavirus vaccine, compared to 76% of heterosexual adults and 76% of bisexual adults, according to the report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The researchers drew from data collected Aug. 29 through Oct. 30, 2021, from more than 153,000 U.S. adults.
“Many in the LGBTQ community may have more experience with medical science through education, workplaces, or other personal medical concerns,” that report added. “In addition, COVID isolation significantly impacted LGBTQ people, which may have motivated quick vaccination to reenter the community.”

And the gay and lesbian adults who refuse to be vaccinated even though they are eligible are much likelier to die of COVID-19, should they contract it.
Win-win.

this is in no way shocking as the vax rate is broken along party lines with democrats 90+% and republicans 58%. (average 75% thusly) and gays are almost all democrats…so it has nothing to do with being gay other than that self selects for being NOT republican
