That’s just wrong. In my hospital for example, deaths of people with serious symptoms from Covid are down because doctors have learned how to treat, and how not to treat patients.
And if you knew about what vaccinations are supposed to do, you wouldn’t possibly have said that vaccinations are the only reason why hospitalizations are down. Vaccines are supposed to trigger an immune response, just like when one is exposed to the virus. So, in reality, if vaccinations do what they’re supposed to do, less people get sick because of natural immunity and vaccinations.
It’s only an anecdotal poll anyway and has even less meaning now when the vaccines have so far been proven to be safe.
What? Safe means free from harm or risk.
Have you even seen what has happened to some people after getting the vaccines?
Even the recent “worry” around the AstraZeneca vaccine is largely baseless (30 people out of 5 million vaccinated have had a serious side-effect not necessarily attributable to the vaccine).
Where on earth are you getting this misinformation?
So yes, fear, misinformation and ignorance are the reasons for people refusing to be vaccinated.
No. Wrong again. Many people I work with have had the antibodies. There’s no need for them to be vaccinated. Others are pregnant, or trying to become pregnant, and since there’s no data on that group, and their doctors are telling them not to get vaccinated, then they don’t. Others don’t see a risk/reward scenario siding with a vaccine, when the chances of them having any serious reaction to the virus is so low, and the long-term effects of the vaccine are unknown.
My wife came out of retirement to administer vaccinations and some (not many) people refuse to be vaccinated with COVISHIELD, a vaccine developed and produced in India. They refused it because it was Indian and for no other reason. It happened today. There’s an example of fear, misinformation and ignorance right there.
Sure, and there are probably people who won’t get vaccinated because they think that the vaccine will change their dna. Don’t dismiss the facts, just because a few kooks overreact.
