Most of us just want to manage risk in the best way we think we have found, whether it involves a vaccine or not.
Bingo! Most folks dont have time to do a deep dive on vaccine science and want to trust authority regarding efficiency and safety...unfortunately....there is the rest of the story.
It does not help when the authorities and the media don’t admit mistakes. Instead of someone like Fauci saying, “I was wrong about A, the better answer is B - it’s a complex situation and here is what I discovered that made me change my mind.” we get, “The answer is B, don’t question me!” And the media chorus that last week was saying, “A, A, the answer is A!” this week say, “B, B, the answer is B!” but if you ask why the answer changed, people call you names and yell at you. They think they are fooling everyone by pretending to be infallible. Outlandish conspiracy theories thrive in such an environment and make things worse.
