And evidently if a growing number are vaccinating less, they are clearly NOT following their doctors advice
The number who trust their doctor is around 84%. The number who are delaying vaccinations changed from 4% to 7%. The most reasonable takeaway is that 7% probably aren't part of the 84%.
And if it was because of fauci you would see the number increase in 2020, not in 2023…
Why?
People didn't have access to information about Fauci's claims until well after he made them. There were congressional hearings during his tenure, and another in 2024, so it makes sense for trust to deteriorate between his stepping down and the post-tenure congressional hearing.
Dude what cmon go browse c/politics 99% of it is literally normal news
That community is locked, so only mods can create posts. That user seems to do a good job of posting high quality sources, but they pretty universally are critical of the current administration, and they'd probably be less critical if a dem was in power. And that's fine, I think Politics is an example of a well run community.
I don't keep track of which communities/instances these are from (I mostly sub to communities here and on lemmy.world), but I have had several occasions where I commented on a controversial post (pointing out issues, for example), and it gets removed. I assume that means someone reported it and the mods removed it.
Maga.place is a small instance where most posts don't have any comments or upvotes, so it's likely nobody bothered to report problematic content or the mods aren't very active. That was absolutely a thing when I first joined Lemmy, and it wasn't grounds for defederation back then, nor should it be now. However, if we cannot work with the mods or admins, that's absolutely a problem and is grounds for defederation (and we've done that due to concerns about CSAM and whatnot).
