American interest wanes in getting COVID-19 vaccine. Why?

The latest evidence for this appears this week in the Journal of the American Medical Association, and it shows that skepticism toward the vaccines is on the rise among Americans of all stripes.

Regardless of age, race or sex, U.S. adults were significantly less likely to say they’d get vaccinated in late November and early December than they were in early April.

Unlike other surveys that measured Americans’ sentiments about COVID-19 vaccines at a single point in time, this one has tracked changes in the same group of more than 8,000 people since the early days of the pandemic.

Clinical trials suggest the vaccines from Pfizer, BioNTech, Moderna are safe and highly effective. But that good news couldn’t stem a nearly 18 percentage-point drop in Americans’ willingness to be vaccinated, the authors of the JAMA report said.

I’m not taking their “vaccine”.

It also seems deadly to elderly with weak hearts.
