Why would you be opposed to vaccines? You have advocated in the past to keep the country open, and you dont see how that can be done without a vaccine?It wouldn't make a difference. I've always supported mask mandates and opposed vaccines. Nothing Trump did or said would sway me on either of those issues.
There are so many people who have had bad experiences with US healthcare and big pharma. Many with experience being treated by american healthcare, no longer trust the medical establishment, enough to take the vaccine.
I'll give you an example, go on youtube. Keyword search: antidepressants ruined me.
People say: antivaxx is responsible. But the history and trend of people not trusting healthcare & big pharma goes way beyond antivaxx.
People not trusting big pharma does make sense, when you have to pay from your pocket. But vaccines are free, so that argument isn't gonna go anywhere... Say what you want about the US healthcare, in an emergency pandemic situation, they had enough vaccine centers and mobilized people to get them.
Also, not taking the vaccine has hurt a lot of countries, like India. Speaking from personal experience, i know people who got covid after the vaccine as well as those who didnt get one... These are family friends who i know well and the doubters were either isolated at home or suffered extreme near fatal illness. I even know people who died because of it.. but those who got covid after the vaccine had extremely mild symptoms, like cough or a fever for a day but never required hospitalization...
If you dont believe in vaccine, just believe that the affects of getting covid are always gonna be way worse. and the chances of a side effect of the vaccine are way lower in probability than you getting covid.
