With vaccine hesitancy rates still prominent across multiple states, public health and government officials alike have been strategizing on the best way to encourage positive sentiment towards the COVID-19 vaccine.
Recent Census data reveals that a plurality of people are reticent to get vaccinated due to a fear of side effects. An average of 15.6 percent of American adults report being hesitant about receiving one of the approved vaccines.
Francis Collins, Director of the National Institute of Health (NIH), went on NBC News to assure people that there is “no comparison” between potential risks versus the benefits of being vaccinated against COVID-19.
“If you’re not vaccinated, you're missing out on that chance to lift that blanket of fear that’s been there, even if you don’t think COVID-19 is that big of a deal,” he said.
This interview follows the recent ruling of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) giving the Johnson & Johnson vaccine the green light to continue being used following reports of blood clots in women.
Collins stresses that this “rare event” only occurred in eight recipients out of nearly 7 million people having received vaccinations. He supports the ACIP’s decision to readminister the vaccine provided patients are given a fact sheet detailing potential side effects.
Outside of the fear of side effects, Collins added that public messaging surrounding getting vaccinated can be improved by listening to individual concerns and changing the conversation surrounding the importance of the vaccine.
“I think there has been too much finger-wagging,” he explained. “I’ve done some of that, and I’m going to try to stop, and listen in fact to what people’s specific questions are.”

Whew! Oh, wait. Never mind.
What are the observed side effects after 5 years?
“listen in fact to what people’s specific questions are.”
How is an mRNA vaccine different from and more reliable than a software patch?
I’m totally completely absolutely against ALL VACCINES
ESPECIALLY THIS GARBAGE 🗑
NOT SHY. NOT AFRAID. NOT “ hesitant “
Completely utterly against AND SPREADING THE 🚨 alarm !!
Don’t do it !!!!!
vaccine threads are the new lin wood twitter feed on FR.
“I’m totally completely absolutely against ALL VACCINES”
There are one or two single vax I am OK with. Tetanus is one. Nice thing is you can get the vax following the puncture wound. Or IIRC one can get the TIG. But yeah, generally injecting toxic crap is a really bad idea. Strengthening natural immunity is far superior.
16% constitutes a plurality?
I’m opposed to using the general population by the tens of millions as your test case.
Literally nobody knows the long term effects.
And millions may suffer them.
The federal government is bound by the federal Constitution. It can’t make a hiring decision or deny further employment (fire/terminate) due to a hard pass taken on vaccination.
I never ask questions of people I don’t trust.
I stay as far away from them as possible.
They can tell their lies to someone else.
With the Covid Hoax the possibilities are endless.
“cause of death” mmmmmmm....Covid!
- maybe George Floyd died of Covid!
You’re sterile? -—hey side effects are an acceptable risk.
stinkin science haters are a threat to ..... uh
yes it is a HOAX
“The federal government is bound by the federal Constitution”
Hmmm. Seems to me the Constitution is under assault by the federal govt and is being dismantled day by day. And nothing in it guarantees you can’t be fired for a hard pass on the vaccine anyhow. They can change the rules whenever they like.
I don’t fear covid, at all. If given the choice I would rather catch covid than rake one of the experimental vaccines.
Wait and see. If you’re one of the lab rats, you’ll be the first to know.
They can tell their lies to someone else.

Correct, this for instance “ An average of 15.6 percent of American adults report being hesitant about receiving one of the approved vaccines.“ Not in my neck of the country, I know of very few that bought into the fear peddling and lies about the flu and experimental jabs.I would honestly say only 15 percent ran out to get the jab.....common sense seems to be lacking in today’s society. Americans have been played through deception and outright lies.....a hallmark of Slow Joe’s corrupted administration.
