COVID vaccine hesitancy: Why people don't want the shot

My list of reasons for declining vaccination has got longer, rather than shorter, as new information became available. As well as all my initial reasons for a wait-and-see approach, I can now add the following:

1. Fauci's alleged role in funding gain of function research in China
2. Vaccine passports, once considered a foil hat conspiracy theory, now look very likely
3. It's now clear that two jabs will probably never be enough
4. Endless moved goalposts and lies from the UK government has totally cratered the trust between people and government
5. Trashing of simple, inexpensive treatments and prophylactics that have now been shown to be helpful in reducing the impact of covid
6. Massive numbers of adverse effects reported on VAERS and Yellow Card
7. Little or no recognition of naturally derived immunity created by a previous covid infection
8. Breakthrough infections in double vaccinated people
9. Coercive policies such as no-jab-no-job, despite the fact that vaccinated people can still become infected and infect others
10. The money trail, such as the involvement of people who donated vast amounts of cash to the World Health Organisation

And to cap it all, little or none of the above is ever debated properly in the MSM. There's just one narrative, and politicians rarely get asked any difficult questions.

I hope that you're fortunate enough to outlive your mistake in judgement. In case you're not aware, 226,000,000(!) people have contracted COVID-19 worldwide, with 4.7 million deaths. 7,312,683 COVID-19 cases in the UK, with134,647 deaths. I hope that you don't add to these numbers because of your decision not to trust science. Seriously, think about it. Why do you want to take the risk of dying before your time?

Now? It was always known that two jabs didn't offer permanent protection. Booster shots are needed, we're just still trying to figure out the appropriate timing.

This is how useful VAERS is to base numbers on:
"I watched the Simpsons last night at my buddy's house. On my home I got hit by a car! I'm never watching The Simpsons at my buddy's house again!"

There is no correlative LET ALONE causative connection between a vaccine and its side effect.

You get a vaccine and you have a heart attack 8 days later....up it goes on VAERS. ABSOLUTELY no link made; it's just they happenned around the same time.

I mean, besides your use of the phrase "massive numbers" when 7000 is just NOT a massive number in the context of the number of vaccines adminstered.

I wouldn't voluntarily take the vaccine for the same reasons I wouldn't voluntarily take SSRIs, antidepressants, painkillers, fentanyl or big pharma drugs.

Vaccines are produced by for profit corporations who only care about their bottom line and don't appear to mind profiting from the pain and misery of humanity.

The drugs (and vaccines) they produce normally carry far worse negative side effects than the illness and disease they're supposed to treat.

Vaccines are supposed to be a cure. But in the history of big pharma, the cure is often worse than the disease.

I’m not getting an experimental, unapproved vaccine, (the only approval from the FDA is the EAU - Emergency Use Authorization) and becoming a guinea pig for unintended consequences and long term effects, because to date there are over 600,000 adverse effects, and over 14,000 deaths so far in America alone, that are being covered up and lied about.

For example, the real facts are that the most deaths are among vaccinated, not unvaccinated- and this article from Dr. Mercola exposes that fact - here’s a synopsis of the full article:

STORY AT-A-GLANCE

• According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, you’re not counted as fully vaccinated until a full 14 days have passed since your second injection in the case of Pfizer or Moderna, or 14 days after your first dose of Janssen, despite the fact that over 80% of deaths after the vaccines occur in this window. How convenient
• Anyone who dies within the first 14 days post-injection is counted as an unvaccinated death.Not only does this inaccurately inflate the unvaccinated death toll, but it also hides the real dangers of the COVID shots, as the vast majority of deaths from these shots occur within the first two weeks
• The CDC also has two different sets of testing guidelines — one for vaccinated patients and another for the unvaccinated. If you’re unvaccinated, CDC guidance says to use a cycle threshold (CT) of 40, known to result in false positives. If you’re vaccinated, they recommend using a CT of 28 or less, which minimizes the risk of false positives
• The CDC also hides vaccine failures and props up the “pandemic of the unvaccinated” narrative by only counting breakthrough cases that result in hospitalization or death
• Hospitals are still also reporting non-COVID related illnesses as COVID-19

Article: Vaccinated Deaths Are Now Being Listed as "Unvaccinated"

The US is no stranger to a vocal antivaccine movement, but the people who've chosen not to get a COVID-19 vaccine yet aren't necessarily "antivax." In fact, antivaxxers are likely a small number in the much quieter and much larger group who are vaccine hesitant. A lot of people are uncertain as opposed to hostile," Dunning says. "For a lot of people it's really about the nuts and bolts of getting the vaccine, rather than any sort of ideological stance."

"...uncertain as opposed to hostile." This is what I don't like about journalists, nowadays. They paint a picture others swallow as valid, in this case, we are either hostile or uncertain, according to the narrative. —Hostile about what? We keep getting painted as if we are hostile to the vaccine. That really isn't the problem. If you want it, get it. I don't care. I'm hostile to the whole Covid panic and Government strong-arming.

Kinda like the saying, "Millions for charity, but not one penny for tribute." We do not belong to the Government. Supposedly, they work for us!

Where did you get the idea that vaccines are a cure? They are strictly an effort at prevention. They are not a treatment in any way, shape or form so they cannot be a cure.

This just gets so so silly. The left from BIDEN/Harris, Fauci telling us no one should be forced to take the vaccine.. same people telling us the FED GOV can't do that. Nor force to ware masks on and on. Just read someone on MSNBC "who just this year saying who would ever trust the FDA. Few months later sings like rest a different tune. So 2020 all they way back FDA ..who would ever believe them. In a matter of months.. duh from MSNBC you should now by the same person trust the FDA...what?

So your standing there ready to cross the street being asked why not cross? "a but everyone told me not to cross. Oh wait there telling me to cross now. Oh wait I see arms wave at me don't cross. Huh..now your telling me I better cross or else?" Oh gee why would anyone question the vaccine. Shall we talk quote all the "stats" and "studies".

I like what Fox said once.. they should have just put it out there "this will not stop covid but it will help in preventing it".. you know like the FLU shot. oh man.. when Fauci said "we should not force anyone to take the vaccine we have never done this in history and shouldn't start now." So please don't tell me to listen to them today just don't listen to them back in March/April 2021 or then back in LATE 2020.

Don't tell me to never trust the FDA to then in this case duh you better trust them. Yeah whos the lol anyway.

If vaccines are "prevention".

What do they prevent?

Basic science: blood clots are a known and leading cause of heart attacks.

Were vaccines confirmed as causing blood clots?

Yes.

What does the heart do? It pumps blood. What does a blood clot do? It restricts blood flow, which naturally affects the heart.

"Absolutely no link made" is an interesting way to describe it.

I can see it now, couple years time with people on their 50th booster shot! Lol

I personally know several people who've had heart attacks post vaccination. Certainly not enough information to determine causation, but definitely something to keep watching for based on what we know.

There are links to blood clots, myocarditis, and thrombosis. Definitive causation remains extremely low (only several cases per million for each of these adverse effects), but what the actual rates are remain to be seen, as actual data remains unavailable. Wider data sets need to be examined.

I have heart disease and got the vaccine. No problems what so ever and now I even visit COVID patients. To me it is a common sense thing to do. But sense is no longer common.

We know that doesn't happen due to many vaccinated testing positive for COVID.

Vaccines are supposed to prevent serious health issues developing from COVID infection. They're supposed to strengthen the immune system and help people fight off the COVID infection.

But there is a question of whether negative side effects like blood clots outweigh any potential benefits they might provide.

I've noticed that many who view corporations as the source of all evil in the world, have no problem with mega corps in the big pharma sector. If google, amazon, facebook and large corporations are evil. Shouldn't big corporations like pfizer also be evil? How does that work exactly.

Heart attacks have always been highly correlated with clogged arteries and blood clots.

Its the reason doctors and experts encouraged people to cut down on artery clogging cholesterol for decades in order to have a heart healthy diet.

Some might remember the years upon years they spent hearing about high cholesterol and its connection to heart attacks in commercials, infomercials, from doctors, etc.
