I’ve gotten to the point that I have no idea who is telling the truth, if the truth is indeed known.

Meanwhile, I’m not going to inconvenience myself.

Gee that’s a lot of words to say….

The govt lied about the vaccines efficacy and it turns out it doesn’t protect me or anyone else from getting or passing it

Too long to read! Some of us, myself, have all of our normal vaccines as required, heck I am getting my shingles vaccine booster this next week. But I am not getting the experimental Covid vaccines, nor the so-called approved one that does not appear to have gone through all the proper credible trials. Reading too much about adverse effects and I would rather not put myself at unnecessary risk.

‘A nation can end a crisis’? You got that backwards, the government can cause a crisis when there is none. Go back to DU, they miss your one brain cell in their total vacuousness.

Why?... Because ‘someone’ know the implications of ADE and the mutations to the original virus (viruses).

Or you could just stop thinking that you have any part to play in other’s decisions. That would save a lot of hassle.

Vaccine hesitancy.... hilarious when ‘medical people’ put the marketing hat on instead of trying to make the case for something on purely medical criteria.

As I tell my doctor, “just try to sell me the steak (and good luck with that).....you can keep the sizzle.”

In between the people strongly for and against vaccines are individuals who carry certain fears and concerns that stop them from getting immunized.

The story begins with an outright lie. The Frankenjab does not confer immunity. Not at all.

Perhaps the Novavax will provide some measure of inoculation sans the clotting and myocardial side effects of the Frankenjabs, but that remains to be seen.

One thing that has been overlooked is the recent history of inoculations in general.

Seventy years ago, there was no such widespread objection to the polio vaccine. What has changed?

We now have scores of vaccines that have to be taken by children, plus many vaccines for adults, for flu, shingles, pneumonia, hepatitis, etc., plus many more for those in the military, depending on what part of the world they are going to. The older we are, the more we have gotten used to this constant advice to get vaccines and the more of them we have willingly taken.

Younger people get them in early childhood and are not really that aware of what is happening.

They are vaccinated but they never had to make the choice.

It has something to do with the reluctance, I believe. Older people rushed to get the vaccine, and not just because they were older and thus more vulnerable to the ravages of covid 19.

The number of anti-covid-vaccine people who seem “scared”—either of the commitment, the side effects, or the needle itself—testify to this part of the causes of reluctance. Of course that goes along with not understanding thoroughly the science, the public-health emergency involved, or statistics in general among the younger people.

There are many other factors involved in vaccine reluctance, some of them more important that this. Just thought I’d mention “lack of voluntary vaccine experience” or whatever you want to call it as a possible contributing cause, since I haven’t noticed this said elsewhere.

And experts believe that with the right approach

"Experts" at it again, I see.

Good thoughts. As for the second one on your list, part of that is not coercion but the protection of others—and possibly the business itself—from the reluctant.

Businesses and government agencies can both find themselves in the middle of their own mini-epidemic, with devastating loss of personnel, even if you totally discount their natural human concern. They’d rather take the smaller and less destructive loss path of having some personnel leave through the totally misnamed “mandate” of requiring vaccination for continued employment.

at the end of february 2021 current president biden disbanded former president trump’s “operation warp speed” and transferred all responsibilities to the “white house covid 19 response team”...

everything changed after biden and the demonrats stole the 2020 election...

i refuse to trust thieves and liars...

Short version; The same people that have said in the past the Trump supporters are all dumb, knuckles dragging nazi racists who deserve to die, now want me to get the vax.

Interesting county by county of the USA and vaccination % by ethnicity.

"Blacks are hesitant not because they underestimate the risks of COVID-19, but because they have concerns with the effectiveness and side effects of COVID-19 vaccines as well as confidence issues with the system."

Well, I must be black then.
