List of folks who refuse it: 1. Young, healthy and fit people who don't have any prior medical conditions. I checked the stats in Canada and I have a lot more chances of dying in a car accident than COVID in my age group. 2. Minorities who have had very bad treatment by the medical community in the past. Numerous examples of blacks, Latin Americans, indigenous being used for experiments. 3. Similar to point 2, anyone who's low income and therefore had poor treatment by the medical community. 4. Everyone who's already gotten natural infection immunity. There's numerous studies of this being much stronger and longer lasting. While they also say that an extra vaccine might boost the immunity slightly more too, there's very little benefit imo, especially if you are already young and healthy. 5. Many vaccinated folks also oppose vaccine mandates because that requires disclosing personal information. Quebec's vaccine passport app already got hacked including name, date of birth, IP address and which vaccines. And the Quebec government was very dismissive of this whole thing too which didn't instil any confidence in them. Vaccine mandates are also opposed by many in the minority community as they know this is just another reason which will cause more law enforcement actions. Here's Aba & Preach, 2 of the largest black YouTubers of Canada, explaining why they oppose such vaccine mandates even though they themselves are vaccinated. They explain how historical poor and unethical treatment explains why many minorities or those from poor families are skeptic of the health care institutions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6yHSIqsT9g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6yHSIqsT9g https://youtu.be/Kt1FsXdrX5I https://youtu.be/Kt1FsXdrX5I So there's many reasons of not getting the irreversible, non-long term tested, declining efficacy and short lasting vaccine. There's no guarantees of how many boosters and how often they will be required. Israel is already talking about the 4th booster shot. Also this whole mandate thing just makes the public even more accepting of more surveillance.

I personally know several POC who chose not to get vaccinated because the CDC suggested at one point that for “social justice” reasons that POC should be vaccinated first. A rapidly developed vaccine using new experimental tech, with an emergency use approval…and someone in our government suggests that the black folks should line up first. Talk about clueless.

  Yep. Just a few days ago, even the NYTimes reported that only 27% of the blacks in NYC are vaccinated and the number one reason for hesitancy was lack of trust in the vaccine. Many people even mentioned how they got extra skeptical when they decides to vaccinating blacks first which was a pure optics failure.
