Vaccine hesitancy is a big problem, according to the Biden administration. Less than half the public is fully vaccinated while about 56 percent have received at least one jab.
The goal of fully vaccinating the American public appears to have stalled. This should not surprise us. When the vaccines were first approved for emergency use back in December 2020, 40 percent of Americans expressed skepticism about the vaccine.
Trying to shame the holdouts has failed spectacularly. Insulting and degrading them as “morons” or “ignorant” has resulted in a vicious pushback and a hardening of positions on getting vaccinated.
The administration’s plan of sending people door to door to vaccinate them only feeds anti-vaccine skepticism. Trust in authority is at an all-time low, which makes a government-sponsored vaccine program suspect.
Still, most experts agree that some people who should be getting vaccinated aren’t doing so. But the root cause isn’t ignorance or a belief in conspiracy theories. An MIT study on the problem revealed some surprising results…

I’m not totally antivax I just want to go last. Is that so bad?
Why doesn’t the Biden Admin Crop-spray the whole country like Agent Orange
I’m not totally antivax I just want to go last. Is that so bad?
Will there be anyone left to give it to you ?
So does that mean the Fauci-ouchie crowd is uninformed, illiterate and naive?
You see? Going last takes care of a lot of potential problems...
That’s a trick question!
With no one left, there is no more virus, so he doesn’t need it.
Is that from last summer when Kamala and Joe were saying that they WOULDN’T trust the Trump vax shots?
“Proponents of the vaccine are unwilling or unable to understand the thinking of vaccine skeptics — or even admit that skeptics may be thinking at all. Their attempts to answer skepticism or understand it end up poisoned by condescension, and end up reinforcing it.”
That’s happening here on FR!
Absolutely
Nah, no one with a brain listens to Democrats. However when Dr Robert Malone, Dr Peter McCullough, Dr Luc Montagnier, and other world leading virologists and epidemiologists speak…people listen
“That’s happening here on FR!”
Yes, Frustrated by their inability to change minds the vaccine pushers mostly smirk at each other now with gratuitous insults targeting “anti-vaxxers”.
Their utter failure is most amusing.
Why are people who have had 2 doses of the "vaccine" still getting Covid?
Why are so many people who have been "vaccinated" getting sick from the shot?
Why are people who have had Covid and have more anti-bodies than those who have been "vaccinated", still being told to get the vaccine?
Testing methods to detect the virus are completely unreliable and inaccurate.
How was this so-called "vaccine" developed without ever having actually isolated the virus?
Why is the gov't still pushing masks even for people who have been vaccinated when all of the data clearly conclude that most common masks are useless against this or any other virus?
If I get Covid, I'll take care of myself because nobody else will.
How many who refuse have already watched a close friend or family member get really sick or die? and then watched the propaganda media deny it?
How many people sat in a clinic and witnessed someone taken out on a stretcher after a reaction? There are disturbing videos of such situations. Disturbing because of the reaction but far more disturbing because the staff's behavior clearly shows they've witnessed it many times before.
Note the large disparity between those who got two doses and those who only got one. How many people had such an adverse reaction that they said "hell, no" to the second shot? Blood clotting, seizures, and enlarged hearts are NOT a sign that it's working.
Who would get a shot now seeing how many people who got both shots of the experimental treatment are now getting sick? If it doesn't work against the "Delta variant", why bother finding out it doesn't work against Echo, Foxtrot, Golf, Hotel, etc.?
Oh that truth hurts.
Trust the science.
Do not trust the media.
Is their “utter failure” that they were too eager to get vaxed without due diligence, or that they can’t convince everybody else to follow them off the cliff?
So that is kind of like carrying a .22 in bear country.
Don’t shoot the bear, shoot your partner in the knee.
MIT Study: Vaccine Hesitancy Is ‘Highly Informed, Scientifically Literate,’ and ‘Sophisticated’
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wasn’t a similar conclusion reached not that long ago about those who are highly skeptical about ‘climate change’... that when it came down to understanding climate and science related issues, those who were skeptical were far more more informed than those who accepted it?
