Within days of the first confirmed novel coronavirus case in the United States on 20 January, antivaccine activists were already hinting on Twitter that the virus was a scam—part of a plot to profit from an eventual vaccine.
Nearly half a year later, scientists around the world are rushing to create a COVID-19 vaccine. An approved product is still months, if not years, away and public health agencies have not yet mounted campaigns to promote it. But health communication experts say they need to start to lay the groundwork for acceptance now, because the flood of misinformation from antivaccine activists has surged.
Such activists have “kicked into overdrive,” says Neil Johnson, a physicist at George Washington University who studies the dynamics of antivaccine groups on social networks. He estimates that in recent months, 10% of the Facebook pages run by people asking questions about vaccines have already switched to antivaccine views.
Recent polls have found as few as 50% of people in the United States are committed to receiving a vaccine, with another quarter wavering. Some of the communities most at risk from the virus are also the most leery: Among Black people, who account for nearly one-quarter of U.S. COVID-19 deaths, 40% said they wouldn’t get a vaccine in a mid-May poll by the Associated Press and the University of Chicago. In France, 26% said they wouldn’t get a coronavirus vaccine.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is now working on a plan to boost “vaccine confidence” as part of the federal effort to develop a vaccine, Director Robert Redfield told a Senate committee this week. Advocates urge campaigns that include personal messages and storytelling.

Pew data?
Oh, that’s not skewed , nor biased...not even a bit.
Win the rest...Amazon Gift Card,what else
Fine. Get the vaccine. The rest of us will die. Problem solved.
Used to be easy to “win over the rest” back in the days when the media actually carried with it a modicum of believability (even though they were pretty well on their way to total corruption).
Prove it with data that is meaningful to the general public.
Don't try threatening the public.
Kinda moot, since there won’t be a vaccine.
Before you get all fired up about getting a vaccine, you may want to read the following article and think very carefully about what you just have read. It is Highly recommended as it may provide you with the insight why some governments including OURS like to TINKER around with viruses.
Compelling Evidence That SARS-CoV-2 Was Man-Made
Pierre Lescaudron
The unfolding of the COVID-19 pandemic left many unanswered, or unsatisfactorily answered, questions. Why were effective drugs banned while a hypothetical vaccine was promoted? Why the sudden concern of the authorities for “saving lives”? Why the same measures across dozen of countries? Why the imposition of lock-downs when detection and treatment worked better? Why was a virus whose fatality rate is comparable to a seasonal flu, hyped to such an extent? Is SARS-CoV-2 a natural virus, or was it created in a laboratory?
The present article aims to answer those questions and, more importantly, to decipher the true motives behind the global coronavirus show.

Yep..They said the same crap about AIDS. They will figure out there is more money in it not to produce a vaccine..These idiots can’t produce one anyway though probably.
How to win over the rest?
“If you take the vaccine, you get to buy and sell”...
If we achieve “herd immunity” (and the # of deaths in NY and NJ is getting very low) it would be pointless — even if there were an effective vaccine.
really? I had read that some doctor said that if they could only get rid of white people, the blacks and browns would comply with any vaccines.
Too much push back from white folks.

A must watch . . .after intro JD Farag gets into where this is all going.
Bookmark this. I’m calling it today. It masks are still a thing it will be a forced choice. Get the vaccine or wear a mask.
As I stated on another thread, public health has done a major disservice by letting anti vaccine folks slam the Covid-19 vaccine. This discussion board is a classic example. Hopefully public health can overcome all this or this issue will continue to impact us.

“If you take the vaccine, you get to buy and sell”...
“Here’s how to win over the rest”
At gunpoint?
