Does it concern you that some vulnerable people may decline to take the COVID vaccine because of a lack of trust?
CNN has a story today:
https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/04/us/vaccine-distrust-black-and-latino-americans/index.html
which basically says that some blacks and latinos may not take the vaccine because they are not convinced it is safe.
My question always is: would you rather risk catching covid?
I was an engineer and have full faith in science. How on earth can a vaccine made of a portion of coronavirus cause safety issues worse than the actual disease? Over 15 thousand subjects were tested with the Pfizer vaccine and a similar number were tested with the Moderna vaccine. Not one of the Moderna subjects caught a serious case of covid-19. And only one of the Pfizer subjects was serious. Nobody died. Yet the FDA is taking weeks to authorize the medication! After that length of review they should know all about the individual subjects!
If then they approve the vaccine, and some vulnerable subjects still decline it and catch covid-19, they better not expect any sympathy from me.
What do you think?
