Vaccine-Hesitant Americans Aren’t Ignorant Rubes, They’re Understandably Cautious. Instead of shaming them, we should try to understand why.

Might help if the CDC showed a shred of competency.
Might help a bit more if we had leaders that we didn’t think were piles of excrement.
Even more help if we had a trustable media - those journalism degrees have proven that they can be had via a Kellogg’s box top.
And, of course, when you’ve got El-Fool-O-Flip-Flop Fauci uttering Fauci Falsies daily, well, no one believes that turd any more.

Because the people shoving the vaccines are collectivist control freaks.

I’ve had Covid. Vaccine is only going to teach my immune system what it already knows. Yes, antibodies will probably peter out given time - but so will vaccine. Let me know what the half-life of current antibodies is, and when a new strain arises, and when there’s a vaccine for that; until then, I don’t see the point.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Understand this, I will not be getting it.

[thegagline]

There is still no FDA approved vaccine to prevent COVID.

[ladyjane]

Shaming people who disagree with the government is a way of life now.

College-educated, rural dwelling, white-collar career white Christian male here. I choose to not participate, because I’m young enough to weather the storm for a virus with a 99.6% survival rate. And if I fall in the 0.4%? The Lord calls me up when He’s ready. If it’s my time, no vaccine is going to protect me.

This needs to be understood. NONE of the vaccines are approved. They are authorized, NOT approved.

[House Atreides]

We need to operate under a free to decide regimen. Everybody should be free to decide whether or not to be COVID-19 vaccinated. Everybody should be free to wear a mask or not wear a mask. And everybody should be expected to be responsible for their own decisions—INCLUDING AMY CONSEQUENCES. It’s not hard, folks.

A person doesn’t want the jab then that’s it. No explanation needed.

[dynachrome]

What? You don’t trust demented joe and the whore to tell the truth?/s

[lerker]

I don’t care if they say it’s 100% safe, the companies have immunity from liability, so no, I’m not taking it as I would have no recourse if there are problems. It’s that simple.

[Rurudyne]

I’m not vaccine hesitant.

I’m vaccine oh heck no.

[MtnClimber]

They have been lied to so many times by leftists using COVID to pursue a political agenda. Why should we think they are suddenly telling the truth? They say the vaccines are safe, but we all know they don’t have a clue if there are long-term effects.

The problem with America today is that people cannot mind their own business.

If you don’t want to take the vaccine that is fine. I don’t care. But don’t try to convince everyone else that they are wrong. And those who get it should not shame those who choose not to.

If you don’t want to wear a mask, but is the policy in a store...don’t go into the store. Don’t go into the store and pick fights with everyone else.

And the opposite is true.

Karens on both sides are tedious. Your personal liberty is your deal. You choose how to live it. I don’t care about your opinion. Keep it to yourself.

The FDA approved vaccine for the Flu doesn’t always work, it keeps mutating. Not all of the population can take vaccines. approved or Not. Guillain Barre patients are Not allowed COVID vaccines. Nor do Autoimmune patients tolerate any vaccines well.

Hubby got his Paranoid I Might need it J & J jab, my sister who willed her body to science, takes a year to get ashes back, lives in Locked Down Niagara Falls, NY, he’s 81 in July, flying is the only way he’d get there. I sent him to his 91 yr old brother’s Memorial 4 yrs ago on his own. Used a Travel Agency to make the arraignments.

With the rejection of hydroxycloroquine, ivermectin and quercetin by the msm, bureaucratic based medical leaders and the political ideologues throughout all of last year, the pattern has been set. When it is alright for the msm and bien pensants to reject cures that actually work, it is the height of hypocrisy for them to complain about millions of people rejecting badly rushed and poorly tested "vaccines" of dubious quality. A better operant phrase is pseudo-vaccine rejection.
