Doubts on safety, efficacy in children underlie parents' vaccine hesitancy: POLL

Half of parents in a new ABC News/Washington Post poll are skeptical about the safety and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines for children, potentially a key barrier as the government seeks to boost uptake.
The results: Just 46% of adults with a child younger than 18 at home are confident that the vaccines are safe for children age 5 to 17. It's about the same, 47%, for confidence that the vaccines are effective at preventing serious illness and death in this age group. Fifty-two percent are not so or not at all confident in their safety or effectiveness.
This poll, produced for ABC News by Langer Research Associates, finds that strength of sentiment is a further challenge: Twice as many parents are not at all confident that the vaccines are safe for children age 5 to 17 than are very confident of this, 41% versus 21%. The gap is smaller on effectiveness, but still 12 percentage points, 38% versus 26%.
Mothers are more apt than fathers to be confident in the vaccines' effectiveness, 55% versus 38%. Confidence in safety, for its part, is much higher among parents who are members of racial or ethnic minority groups, compared with white parents.

“mandate hesitancy”. People need to choose for themselves. Not be coerced into it. Then if something goes wrong be told “No one FORCED you to take it.” Yeah, my patience is wearing thin brandon.

“Vaccine hesitancy” is an Orwellian euphemism for “rejecting the poisons labeled COVID vaccines”.
