    People always expect me to be super angry at people who are worried about getting vaccines, but I think it's always worth remembering that vaccine hesitancy and anti-vaccine advocates are two totally different things

        I have all the time in the world for people who are genuinely worried about getting vaccinated, and no time at all for disingenuous charlatans who sell fear

        Yeah. There’s a difference and I understand hesitancy especially in light of Fox News pushing all the half truths and blurring the lines of public health with civil liberties. I don’t mock those people and encourage them to get it when they’re ready-hopefully sooner than later.

        We’ve moved to start referring to it as “vaccine uncertainty” with the thought that there’s nothing to be hesitant about with the vaccine itself from a science perspective. Semantics - but it’s proven helpful a handful of times

        Do you have any resources about it? My friend is struggling with getting hers and I'd like to help her as much as I can x

        If you mean the AstraZeneca vaccine, then this guide is useful, especially the graphics on pages 4 and 5. Note: this hasn’t been updated for the changes this week about 50-59 year olds, but the stats are still roughly correct. https://www.health.gov.au/sites/default/files/documents/2021/06/covid-19-vaccination-weighing-up-the-potential-benefits-against-risk-of-harm-from-covid-19-vaccine-astrazeneca_0.pdf …
