New Study Shows That Media Attacks on Evangelicals Over “Jabs” Are Unfounded

Americans who are younger and identify as non-religious are less likely to get vaccinated than evangelical Christians, according to a recent report on polling data compiled by Ryan Burge. Burge, assistant professor of political science at Eastern Illinois University, says it shows the media “needs to be turning the spotlight a bit away from evangelicals and toward the vast swaths of America that is young and secular.”

In a report published recently by the website Religion Unplugged, Burge found that “those without any religious affiliation were the least likely to have received at least one dose of any COVID-19 vaccine.”

According to the poll, while 62% of evangelical Protestants and 70% of non-evangelical Protestants had received at least one dose of the vaccine, only 47% of “nones” reported the same.

Much has been made about the resistance by many evangelicals to get vaccinated, even with prominent leaders like the Rev. Franklin Graham, Max Lucado, and Pastor Robert Jeffress supporting the COVID-19 vaccine.

The Religion Unplugged report comes as COVID-19 cases in the United States are on the rise, mostly among unvaccinated individuals, but also those who have been fully vaccinated.
