I really wonder if and how badly this will affect the already on-edge population on "just how soon they'll ring up to get in line" for testing, once they see this plastered all over the news this evening. And, I mean, even worse: pure gold for the antivaxxers, which is going to be a problem, too. I just hope people will understand this is part of the process and not let go of their motivation to get vaccinated.
- mindcrime 6y agoI really wonder if and how badly this will affect the already on-edge population on "just how soon they'll ring up to get in line" for testing, once they see this plastered all over the news this evening. n=1 anecdote follows: I'm somewhat in the camp of "Of course I'll take the vaccine, but I don't necessarily want to be at the front of the line" and this - to me - is irrelevant. So far it's two people out of thousands, and those two had a known history of severe allergic reactions. So this doesn't make me any more reluctant to take the vaccine. And, I mean, pure gold for the antivaxxers, which is going to be a problem, too. Yeah, I am worried about that as well. The last thing we need is anything to encourage the anti-vaxxer crowd and fuel their ridiculous conspiracy theories. sigh
