30. Vaccine hesitant for just this vaccine
Tue May 4, 2021, 03:25 PM
May 2021

means they've allowed politics to interfere with their understanding, or lack there of of science.

If they are hesitant, then 6 blood clot cases out of 7 million before those vaccines were halted and the safety protocols worked. There is now a warning for premenopausal women.

There are not piles of bodies from vaccination. There aren't. There are piles of bodies from victims of actual COVID.

Vaccine safety and efficacy standards are significantly higher than they are for viagra (a Pfizer block buster drug that Pfizer is not about to risk profits from by pushing a dangerous or unsafe vaccine.) or rogaine, or chemotherapy drugs.

While there are a few people with serious health issues that preclude them from vaccines or severe allergic reactions, and some people who can't face needles, it boils down to ignornance, selfishness, NIMBY, laws for thee and not for me, entitlement or cowardly fear of needles

For anyone paying attention to the science - there is reason Ms. Toad May 2021 #29
It is long term effects they are saying is a concern. As the FDA has not approved fully. boston bean May 2021 #31

FDA approval is irrelevant to Reich-wing antivaxers Orrex May 2021 #7
