Secondary question now is probably whether decreased confidence in J&J actually spills over into decreased vaccine willingness, or just results in more people having a preference for an alternative vaccine.
Just one poll, early days, etc., but early indication seems to be that:
-People are well aware of J&J news
-It has knocked opinions of J&J down noticeably
-But has not so far significantly affected attitudes toward other vaccines or vaccination campaign as a whole
(That last point is worded ambiguously -- I should say something like "vaccine willingness" as a whole. Views of how the rollout is going are a whole separate thing! And will be interesting to track CDC trust as well)

I know the vaccine history from Jenner and the old cowpox
I answer diagnostics, I thank all the nurses and the docs
I quote in elegiacs all the CDC analysis
And hope we'll usher in an annus slightly more mirabilis

New from me: When the first COVID-19 vaccine was authorized last December, a lot of Americans were on the fence about getting it. Since then, there's been a dramatic shift toward vaccine acceptance -- but the remaining holdouts could be more stubborn.

Plus, some lessons from vaccine surveys that apply to polling in general:
-Snapshots, not predictions
-People are bad at predicting future behavior
-Question framing matters
-Look at the undecideds!

This is yet another polling story where the presence/absence of some sort of "not sure" option is crucial. Polls that didn't have an explicit "not sure" option showed higher initial support for vaccination than ones that did, and less substantial movement over the next few months

just want everybody to appreciate the sheer quantity of "boating access" jokes I am not making
using results from a river sample, I will examine the size of relevant boating blocks
tfw your boater model ends up being too broad

This is excellent work, and I'm so glad someone tested this out.

"Telling people that Mr. Biden and Mr. Trump have been vaccinated...has an impact on some but not others...our findings suggest that presidents can nudge some of them further along that path."
"Republicans who outright say 'no' do not budge when told of [Trump's] endorsement of vaccines; however, among Republicans more on the fence, we see movement."
Also, recontact data: "Among those who previously said they were planning to get vaccinated, 16% now report having received at least one dose in our survey's control condition. Moreover, one in five of those who previously said maybe to getting a vaccine now say yes outright."

Adventures in question order:
"[W]hen refusals of gay and lesbian people are equated with refusing service to other minority groups, respondents might be more likely to view religiously based service refusals of gay and lesbian people as discriminatory in nature."
This is, additionally, yet another entry in "why you should always, always, always, always ask to see the toplines first."
Important takeaway here! It's way too easy to frame varying results on issue polling as "these opinions aren't real" when the better answer is "the way people think about this issue is complex, and that's reflected in the data." In the end, it tells us more, not less.
