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

Take it from someone who's studied and followed the antivaccine movement for nearly 20 years. It is a naive take. Personally, I thought
#COVID19 would decrease vaccine hesitancy, but it's energized the antivaccine movement.4 replies 1 retweet 35 likes -
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.

So at least 50% of Americans want to be Guinea Pigs for an untested mRNA vaccine! WOW what could go wrong?

The guinea pigs have already volunteered... to be tested. Which is why it’s not an untested vaccine.

Exactly. It’s really rather silly to characterize vaccines that have been tested on tens of thousands of people as “untested.”

As soon as I the vaccine is made available to me at my hospital, but not before frontline healthcare workers who treat lots of
#COVID19 patients (ER, ICU, etc.) get theirs.0 replies 1 retweet 11 likes -

This "qualifier" is a matter of fairness and equity. It wouldn't be fair for me to get the #COVID19 vaccine before my colleagues who see many COVID patients in the ER, ICU, and COVID wards. I'm at lower risk, albeit higher risk than most people not in healthcare.

In other words, my "qualifier" has nothing to do with reservations about getting the
#COVID19 vaccine.0 replies 0 retweets 9 likesThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
