Over the weekend, the @deBeaumontFndtn and I hosted a focus group with 20 vaccine-hesitant Trump voters.
Nearly all said they had more fears about the COVID vaccine than they did about COVID.

When half the population has that point of view, "conspiracy theory" is harder excuse to peddle.
All the better for Fauci to keep us locked up.
Having caught and fully recovered from COVID myself, I fully concur. Even if Trump had stayed president, this is all a rushed job with no medical track record over a virus which was easily treated with HCQ and Zinc. Whether I refuse to take it may come down to the social consequences but I have signed up or lined up to take it and have no plans to take it anytime soon even though I technically qualify in the higher risk groups.
Besides, the one think you can't deny is that these vaccines are always chasing last year's virus, not the next one. That was the problem with flu shots - they were always treating last year's flu, not the new one.
Besides, I am trying to pay close attention to who is making the vaccine, from which country is it being made from and what is the death rate of each different vaccine being offered. I've already crossed some companies off my list because I don't have any reason to think they are safe.
