(LifeSiteNews) — A new poll indicates that the group of Canadians most targeted by federal authorities to get COVID jabs — Indigenous Canadians and visible minorities — is choosing to not get COVID jabs at higher rates than most.

The poll conducted by Angus Reid shows that a total of 13 percent of Indigenous Canadians overall answered “No,” they will “not get a coronavirus vaccination,” when asked if they have been “vaccinated against COVID-19.”

This is more than twice the jab refusal rate of Canadians the poll classified as “white,” which stands at 6 percent.

Among those Canadians who identified as being from a visible minority, their jab refusal rate was 8 percent. Overall, the poll’s findings show that men are more likely than women to refuse the COVID jabs.

The poll was conducted from September 29 to October 2, with a sample group of 5,011 Canadians, and asked a variety of questions about COVID jabs.

According to Angus Reid, “Indigenous Canadians are twice as likely as those who don’t identify as visible minorities to have refused to get vaccinated.”
