This will flare up tempers, but I would really like to know the real reason why people refuse to take the COVID vaccine.
I would guess most, if not all of you, have received vaccination shots as a baby/child by your family/pediatric physician. Parents followed medical advise for necessary and mandatory vaccines specific to specific diseases, all before you all attended elementary school. Today public schools in all 50 states require vaccinations for Diphtheria, Polio, Pertussis, Tetanus, Chickenpox, Measles, Hepatitus A, Rubella and Mumpsjust to name a few. Each has a major impact on the wellbeing of every one of us. COVID-19 vaccines are no different. Other than for true medical reasons, why all the resistance to COVID vaccines? Vaccine R&D today is lightyears ahead of what it was 50-70 years ago when other vaccines were developed. Is it a lack of knowledge about the vaccine? Well, there's an infinite number of resources out there to research. Is it politics? My belief is it is -- politically motivated defiance. But politics should be taken out of the equation because it has nothing to do with a public health emergency. I have no doubt, should anyone of you who refuse to get vaccinated become deathly ill (hopefully not), will go to the hospital seeking treatment and beg for the vaccine. Unfortunately, it will be too late.
