    Ah yes, vaccine hesitancy in the US: clearly the fault of scientists being honest and not the massive COVID-19 denial/anti-vaccine political movement that held sway for much of 2020https://twitter.com/DLeonhardt/status/1362767520764203011 …

    For weeks, the public messages about vaccines have been more negative than the facts warrant. Now we are seeing the cost: A large percentage of Americans wouldn't take a vaccine if offered one. 🧵...

        I mean, if the president tells people for the better part of a year that COVID-19 isn't a problem, should you be surprised when people don't care about preventing it?

        Or calling one of the vaccines *PFIZER* Because it's not like there are polling data and a literature about why people are vax hesitant. (Leonhardt really seems to have a bug up his posterior about this) #PunditsGottaPunditTho

        I don’t think you can simply say it’s that, either. The issues clearly run deeper than that. It’s not like anti vaccination sentiments didn’t exist prior to 2020.

        Covid vaccine hesitancy is abnormally high. This isn’t just normal anti-vax stuff. This is specific to the Covid vaccines. So yes, I think messaging plays a role.

        No the antivax movement mobilised into the covid deniers. Seriously. Then Trump joins in. When the president is a conspiracy theorist it magnifies the effect

        Weird how vaccine hesitancy seems to be heavily concentrated in one party too. Just odd, those people from that political party must be reading too many NEJM articles with all those mean pessimistic scientists.
