MIT Study: Vaccine Hesitancy Is 'Highly Informed, Scientifically Literate,' and 'Sophisticated'
PJ Media ^ | 07/17/2021 | Rick Moran

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…

“So that MIT Medical can verify vaccine information in time for the start of the fall semester, community members must use the Covid Vaccine application to submit their proof of vaccination (or receive an exemption for medical reason, religious reason, or completely remote work arrangement) by July 30. Requests for exemptions must be submitted by July 22 to allow time for review and processing.

“If a student is not fully vaccinated in time for the start of the fall semester, registration will be placed on hold. Students must clear all holds to proceed with registration.”

And if you look at case and death rate graphs for the same time period for last year, they have the same drop off.

And there was no vax in the spring of 2020, so that drop off in cases could not possibly be attributed to the vax.

Not only that, herd immunity through people actually getting sick with Covidplays into it and for some weird reason, we are not being given those numbers.

TPTB want us to all believe that the vax is responsible for the drop in cases when there are other factors, legitimate factors, that come into play to explain the drop also.

Because the Covid vaccines have only about a 90% to 95% effectiveness rate. Instead of say 200 people getting sick in a vaccinated neighborhood, only 10 to 20 will get sick.

90- 95% rate says who? FRAUDci?? I've seen reports saying it's a LOT less than that obviously bogus number. Too many people are getting these 'breakthrough' infections, for it to be even close to that rate. No sale.

A vaccine is supposed to make you a little sick so you don’t get very sick. For a reason I don’t know, the little sick points are set quite high. I was too weak to leave home the day after my second Moderna shot. By 80 hours after my second shot the side effects are over. My Covid infected neighbor Paul is still dead.

Only.....these are NOT traditional vaccines. They're unproven and risky experimental gene therapy agents.

The "sicknesses" they are causing ... such as myocarditis and thrombosis are NOT normal shot reactions, at the rate that is happening.

My china flu shot-given friend is STILL dead. He was perfectly healthy and died the SAME night as his first shot.

What early, safe and effective treatment was your friend given? Did he have Type 2? Were his Vit D levels normal?

The drop in cases is due to NATURAL herd immunity.

Any “spread” is being caused by the “vax”d.

TBTB are trying to hide that with their absurd masking and lock down mandates....aka fear.

With early Ivermectin treatment (within 5 days of onset) you start feeling better in 4 hours.

The earlier the better.

My theory: when people start getting sick, and the insurance companies refuse to pay, people will beg for socialized medicine.

The Cubans don’t want communism. They have nothing, food, water, medicine. The elites have everything and they get what the party wants to give them.

Your reply has nothing to do with your original post.

You said ...

I replied....

~~~

I know the Cubans don’t want communism....that’s why they’re revolting and trying to flee.

You said AMERICANS will be begging for socialized medicine.

I disagree.

So what is the actual adverse reaction rate for the COVID vaccine?

The insanity here: the biggest concern is adverse reactions .. . and NONE of the incentives liberals offer address that. The promise of free donuts doesn’t address concerns you’ll land in the hospital and don’t have coverage the way you would if you picked up polio from the vaccine.
