[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I bet there is much more vaccine hesitation after the "forced" covid vaccines... I have always taken vaccines and had my kids vaccinated without question, but after covid, with the rhetoric of take the untested vaccine or be placed in camps, I'm a bit more leery. Am I still for vaccination, yes I am, am I skeptical about the actual need (and ROI) for some of them, also yes. [/quote]

Absolutely. I am very pro-vaccine, including the Covid vaccine and annual flu shots for my family. But the damage done by what the pp describes above is huge. Many, many more people are now rejecting routine vaccines than they were before Covid. (It wasn’t just the vaccines… there were other aspects of how the pandemic was handled that eroded public trust re: health.). [/quote]

Covid was traumatic for everyone.  How could it not be. There were some mistakes made, especially with messaging.

But if this far out people can't see that they are having an emotional reaction here, you need to stop and think.  What the F did some of you think would happen in the midst of a once-in-a-lifetime (hopefully for our sakes) GLOBAL PANDEMIC with a NOVEL VIRUS.  That everything was going to just roll smoothly.  That all messaging would be perfect?  FFS what the hell is wrong with you people.

It is rational to look at the mistakes made and talk about what went well and what didn't. It is rational to try and look at how we can approach new vaccines, roll out, messaging etc in the future.  With critical thinking and clear heads. It is not rational to have a knee-jerk reaction regarding ALL VACCINES, especially ones in use for decades whose efficacy and risks are well known.

I just can't with all the idiots.  I just can't. People need to grow up and gets heads out of butts.  If we have another pandemic, we a F-d, because so many people think they know better than people who have studied medicine and viruses and vaccines for their entire professional lives.  [/quote]
