Republican lawmakers must do more to encourage conservative voters in the state to get vaccines.
That was the charge on Thursday from members of the Committee to Protect Medicare, a national political action group formed in 2016 by health care workers. On every shift, I meet patients who think the pandemic is a hoax, said Dr. Max Cooper, an emergency room physician and co-leader of the Committee to Protect Medicare Pennsylvania. Patients say that the vaccine could give them COVID-19, and they say that they got this information from people who they trust, said Cooper.
Pennsylvania is already showing signs of slowing demand for the COVID vaccine.
