Vaccine Hesitancy

Lynn Schwadchuck | Apr 07, 2021

This is my reply to Janina's objections to the vaccine being 'unproven'.

The vaccines are very good at preventing hospitalisations and deaths – up to 100% in some clinical trials. That should be all we need to know.

That's what all the mitigation has been about. It's never been about eradication, which isn't possible. Almost enough people understood this with masks and during lockdowns. But too many seem to be thinking about the vaccine as their personal ticket to freedom, or they see that it isn't really, and decide to make the whole pandemic longer by skipping it.

Dr. Tam said if we have two doses in most people by September things could get back to sort of normal in the fall.
