      Absolutely. Approval impt, but those saying, "This will be a big help in dealing w/ vax hesitant hold outs" need to wake up from their pipe dream. Will be thrilled to be proven wrong, but per @gorskon's "bet," odds waaaaay in his favor.https://twitter.com/gorskon/status/1422738846266048515 …

      KFF had a survey that showed 1 in 3 who remain hesitant would get vaccinated if FDA issued full approval (my sense is that it gives them a sense that they could sue over unknown potential side effects); HOWEVER, it did not differentiate between anti-vaxers vs. wait and see.

      Which is why we need a more nuanced, sophisticated approach to researching hesitancy, coordinated and funded at the national level. The NIH issued a grant to analyze existing data only, this makes no sense to me, even Lawrence Gostin is frustrated at lack of funding.

      And all us researchers know that opinion data is subject to social desirability bias such that behaviors can deviate substantially from opinions at any point in time. I believe the unstated strategy is to allow rising threat of Delta to lower complacency as a barrier, its working

      Vaccine adoption rates are growing most in areas that have the highest case rates, but this is incredibly unfair to the vulnerable and the vaccinated to allow this virus to spread uncontrolled without restrictions to help slow it down b/c hesitancy is a process that takes time.

      It takes enormous time and effort to help people overcome enormous fears that are very real to them. Dr. Fauci came out this week saying he is concerned about a far worse variant yet no mention of need for restrictions. Insanity.

      Indeed. And I don't doubt that many who say on surveys they'd like to see that actually believe it. Some will get vaxxed when it happens. But, for vast majority who cite it, when that barrier is gone, they'll find another reason, as their hesitancy is due to something more latent

      Yup. I have no doubt that full FDA approval will result in some finally getting #CovidVaccine, but my prediction is that it will only be a fairly small percentage of those currently using the EUA as an excuse not to get vaccinated.

          Thank you, I get very worried when people rely on the 1 in 3 prediction, rushing approval could backfire too, I guess we'll see what happens next, I appreciate hearing from the docs who are focusing on this.

          When the approval happens there will be a flood of misinfo that it’s not a regular approval and was rushed to trick people into getting the evil shot. That will be the new excuse for many.

          People are not using an "excuse" to not get vaccinated. They are choosing not to vaccinated for numerous reasons.
