"maybe the doctors turning it down right now will accept it after the elderly are all vaccinated" - This is a conjecture and not a fact observable in any collected data about vaccine uptake.
What your thoughts or my thoughts are really don't matter. What matters is observable facts and how they inform us about future policy decisions.
To me, medical professionals turning down the vaccine when offered suggests that public policy makers should consider vaccine mandates if we're to reach herd immunity faster.
- edmundsauto 6y agoOnly if you think the doctors' decision, right now, is broadly generalizable to the entire population at the moment the vaccine is available to them. To me, this is a massive leap. Broadly, however, you are right: we should be (and are!) studying vaccine uptake. It is not a wise decision to put much weight on the doctor data, as it's not been shown to be generalizable.
