Mostly because it's still very new and not quite proven yet but the longer you wait the more it's proven. I'm sure when the measles vaccine came out not everyone trusted it right away either. Of course all the BS on FB does not help either, like people who think there's a 5G chip in it lol.
The more I read the news about how the Delta variant is affecting even kids now, the more I'd lean towards vaccinating kids sooner at this point though. In the aboriginal communities it's actually hitting kids very hard. I don't know how sick they are getting, but the actual number of infections is very high.
There was no distrust of the measles vaccine. We develop several vaccines from different strains of flu every year using similar methods as J&J did for COVID-19...and people have been paying to get them for decades. This vaccine was developed quickly because most of the blueprint was already created, and the new mRNA delivery system means we just need to use bits of proteins to stimulate a specific immune response, rather than a weakened or dead virus like in traditional vaccines (the J&J vaccine uses the traditional method). In reality, there is LESS of a chance of anything going wrong with the mRNA vaccines as there is less in them.
Some stats to keep in mind:
- The last time a bad vaccine was introduced was for a swine flu...in 1975. 46 YEARS AGO
- You are 20x more likely to have an adverse reaction to acetaminophen than any of these vaccines
- We created the mRNA delivery system in 2003, it's been tested since 2010, and this is it's first widespread deployment. It's not using whole virus particles, so there is no danger. This version of the vaccine doesn't use eggs either, so it's safe for people with egg allergies
- The most common side effect is a very mild headache and fever that last 2-24 hrs. Typically taking a pain reliever alleviates all symptoms.
Now, go get the vaccine. It's proven medical science, it's safe, and the sole source of doubt has come from people that tried to push the economy over health and are now having to backtrack.
