Most people who are reluctant to be vaccinated against Covid are worried about side-effects and whether the vaccines have been adequately tested, a survey in 15 countries has shown.
Other reasons cited in the survey of 68,000 people, led by Imperial College London’s Institute of Global Health Innovation in collaboration with YouGov, were the uncertainty that people would not get the vaccine they preferred and worries about efficacy.
The survey was carried out in Australia, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Japan, Norway, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States.
Excluding eligibility, the top reasons for not having the vaccine across all 15 countries surveyed were “concerns about side effects” and/or “concerns that there has not been enough testing of vaccines”.
Trust in vaccines was highest in the UK, at 87%, and lowest in Japan, at 47%. The UK respondents also had the highest level of confidence in their health authorities (70%), while South Korea had the lowest (42%).
Among those who had not yet been vaccinated, confidence was highest in the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine in nine out of the 15 countries, and in three others – Canada, Singapore and Sweden – among those under 65.
The US had the largest number of people across all ages saying they did not trust any of the Covid vaccines. The survey, which has been running since last year, found that until March the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine was the most trusted in the UK among the under-65s, but confidence in it has declined in all age groups with the publicity over side effects. In most other countries, trust in Oxford/AstraZeneca is low, as with Russia’s Sputnik V and China’s Sinopharm vaccines.

“The US had the largest number of people across all ages saying they did not trust any of the Covid vaccines.”
I’m so proud!
“Jabs”
Notice how they baby down the language of injecting a potential harmful substance into your body past the skin ( natural defense barrier).
Well founded fears.
to me it’s an issue of not telling people the truth about what the injection actually is and is planned to do to them - before jabbing them. side effects are a secondary issue.
they lied about the testing
they lied about the number of deaths
they lied about possible drug therapies
but trust them on this
They have every right to be hesitant about this experimental treatment.
Its a sign they dont believe every dam thing the media and government tells them. Perhaps there’s more hope for this country than I thought.
“The US had the largest number of people across all ages saying they did not trust any of the Covid vaccines. “
yet a few days ago O’Biden said 60% of Americans got at least one dose. so how could we have the largest number of people not trusting yet as a country we had the largest or near largest percent of people get a shot of it?
HUH? Could have sworn it was because folks were white suprema-cyst racist Trump supporters. Who knew. 😳😅👍
Fears of side effects. That’s a strange way to put it.
Fears of injuries cause reluctance to jump out of moving vehicles
There’s no difference.
Reminds me of my late in-laws who always referred to their cigarettes as "smokies."
"Why don't you join us on the patio, dear. We're going to have a little smokie!"
They are currently deadie from their little smokies.
Fauci says it’s safe. That’s more than enough reason not to take it.
they lied about the number of deaths
they lied about possible drug therapies
but trust them on this
---------------------------------------
they lied about the source of the virus
they lied about when the virus first arrived in the US
Death is a pretty serious side effect don’t ya think? How many dead in the USA through March according VAERS? I believe it was a few thousand. Check it out. How many are paralyzed or have blood clots? Check it out.
When the experimental shots are proven to be dangerous or a death sentence two to five years from now, how are these people who got the “jab” going to get the crap out of their bodies?
Being in the front lines of two world wars killed off a lot of the sharper tools in the UK drawer...
to me -
“vaccination” is babying the name for what is truly taking place (injection of experimental combo of chemical stuff into a living human beings as part of some huge scale test study to see what medical problems it can create in humans).
“Jab” is a violent sudden action.
It’s what they commonly refer to shots/injections as, in UK, for some reason.
“For men in their 30s, like me, about 1.2 percent of COVID-19 infections result in hospitalization, according to a July study published in Science...Research from Italy found that roughly nine in 10 hospitalized patients said they still had symptoms after two months. A British study reported a similar risk of long-term illness.”
Note: the Covid drug used on Trump may have changed the math considerably.
I’m not an anti-vaxxar. I’ve had the jab myself. But, this dismissive attitude that’s prevalent in the media about people who have some reluctance to get vaccinated with an experimental vaccine that was developed using a novel technology is infuriating.
There are AMPLE scientifically sound reasons to exercise caution particularly for the population demographics that have minimal to practically non-existent danger from COVID. Our kids are all adults. But, if they weren’t, there is no way we’d give them this vaccine (and my wife is a Doc).
Has the media forgot the disaster that was the anthrax vaccine program?
“In clinical studies, the adverse reactions in participants 18 years of age and older were:
Pain at the injection site (92.0%)
Fatigue (70.0%)
Headache (64.7%)
Myalgia (61.5%)
Arthralgia (46.4%)
Chills (45.4%)
Nausea/vomiting (23.0%)
Axillary swelling/tenderness (19.8%)
Fever (15.5%)
Swelling at the injection site (14.7%)
Erythema at the injection site (10.0%).”

“Hypersensitivity adverse events were reported in 1.5% of vaccine recipients and 1.1% of placebo recipients.”
“There were two serious adverse events of facial swelling in vaccine recipients with a history of injection of dermatological fillers. The onset of swelling was reported 1 and 2 days, respectively, after vaccination and was likely related to vaccination.”
Side effects of the vaccine tend to go away quickly, in a day or two, unlike symptoms of long Covid.
