This might be a naive take but I think that a great deal of the vaccine hesitancy will disappear in a few months after millions have safely been immunized

True. I ran an autism news site for years and know how strong that movement is only too well

I must admit that even I was surprised at how much
#COVID19 energized and radicalized the antivaccine movement beyond anything I've seen before. - Show replies

I disagree. Vaccination is normative. Vaccine hesitancy won’t entirely disappear and there will still be very vocal anti-vaxxers & well-funded anti-vax campaigns. But the surveys we’re currently seeing (which are irresponsible to report) overestimate the problem.

I’m not saying there won’t be a strong anti-vax strain going, but the vast majority of people will get the vaccine. At least as many as get the flu vaccine, but likely 50-80% more.

I was going to say the same as
@gorskon . Being steeped in the world of vaccines for a number of years, experiencing the powerful impact of the anti vax movement, and knowing the history of it, it's naive. The average person who already vaxxes will come around. But... -
the anti vax movement will be intense. It is exactly that naivety which led us to dismiss the power of that movement 20 years ago. We can't make that mistake again
