Recent polls show about a quarter of American adults either don’t plan to get a COVID-19 vaccine or want to wait on it. The numbers have held steady for months: 27 percent in a recent Quinnipiac poll, 25 percent in an NPR/Marist poll from late March, and 30 percent in a Pew survey from mid-February. After federal health officials called for a pause in the distribution of Johnson and Johnson’s one-shot vaccine last week over fears of severe blood-clotting, the number of vaccine-hesitant Americans could be slightly higher now.That means tens of millions of American adults won’t be getting a vaccine, at least not right away. Why?

I will be 70 this summer and decided to take the shots. My personal choice. No one owes me any explanation of why they decided to take the shot, don't want the shot, or waiting to take the shot. The decision you make is your choice. It is none of my business. Funny how liberals are always screaming about CHOICE but somehow they can't handle this choice.

This government is responsible for everything that has happened in the last year and a half. If I wanted to push 300 million people into getting some kind of a shot without a fight thats exactly how I would do it. They can keep their shot. Tell me the REAL reason for it and then I'll decide.

I've heard more horror stories about the vaccines than I ever heard about Covid, and believe one hell of a lot more of them.

So these vaccines were all made using murdered babies?
Now Abortionists and the women who had their babies aborted can claim to be heroes who saved humanity from a mildly dangerous disease that was used as an excuse to shut down the world.

Sorry for the 2nd post - forgot to add that I think my husband was right. With the Mexican border wide open and people coming in infected with covid - no isolation etc, I think the government isn't taking covid too seriously. It was an election ploy and yet they still had to steal the election.

The other day my cardiologist asked me if I had been vaccinated. I told him "No, I haven't all of my affairs in order."
I will wait for v2.0 or higher. In all this CV19 time I have known only one person who had contracted it and he was released to continue work after 8 days in home isolation. IMHO CV19 may afflict one harder than the annual flu but with the 0.045% casualty rate, I'll take my chances.

If they want to take their chances on the disease it's their personal choice. No problem.

I had a so-called confirmed case last December. I've asked my primary care doctors point blank to provide medically sound advise, as opposed to political dogma as to whether I should receive a vaccine and if so, which one. I've received no verbal or written reply. I believe the lack of medically sound advise is because my doctors haven't received any themselves. I questioned whether the that fact that I was sick and had tested positive was definitive proof of having contracted Covid and never got an answer to that, either. I'd rather get no information than be told a lie, which toes the CDC (democrat) party line.

I'm not "hesitant", I have decided to NOT get their "vaccination". I have a couple of engineering degrees and managed research projects on developing vaccines for animals, bioweapons detection systems and other related projects which employed former bio-weapons scientists from former soviet states in non-military, peaceful projects. I know a thing or two about actual vaccines, how they work, how you design them, how you make them, and how you produce them once you have made them.
This stuff is NOT any sort of a conventional vaccine. It is a completely different approach to the concept, and ALL previous uses of this approach have been horrible failures with all the lab animals dying.
NO. That's a well informed, highly educated, NO. Hell, NO!

Thank you, #9.
I have said from the beginning that I will not be used as a government lab rat. I’ve never even had a flu shot and never will and I’m 68 years old. I don’t trust the government, the CDC, the WHO or the pharmaceutical companies. I had 2 miscarriages and almost died due to a drug which was given to my mother when she was carrying me.
If the likes of Dr. Tenpenny and Dr. Coleman are correct we all stand to lose a lot of friends and family to this “vaccine”. But maybe that’s what Gates and the population control zealots want.

I got the vaccine because I want to be able to visit my brother who has leukemia. Also we had a death in our family from Covid. Yes, David was elderly and had "underlying health conditions," but he was getting along pretty well until he contracted Covid-19 and died a horrible death.

I may get vaccinated sometime in the future, but I'm not in any hurry. If the vaccine is effective, why are masks required after taking it? Are the vaccines safe? I don't know what to believe anymore, and the "expert" Fauci's constant backtracking, moving the goalposts, dodging questions, and outright lying doesn't inspire confidence.

I've got my shots. Prove me wrong. HIPAA laws apply. If they don't and if you want some sort of "Covid passport", I want a listing of all the ladies out there who've had abortions.

I happily got the vaccine with the hope that soon, vaccinated people could go mask free. Now we learn that the tiny % of a chance that we might possibly maybe pass on the virus, even though it is shown that we can't / won't, means that we all need to wear masks. That being said, why should anyone else get the vaccine if there is not reason to get the vaccine? Look at the Risk / Reward. The change of dying from Covid if you get it is tiny. The chance of getting Covid if you had the shot and then dying from it is even tinier. The chance of passing it on is miniscule. Fauci keeps saying "what if"? Life is full of what if's! If we stopped doing things because of what ifs we would never ever do anything.

Too many people I actually know who got the vaccine complain of side effects. I don't plan on taking it because I know my body better than anyone else on the planet. I react in some form to every medicine I take. Most of those meds don't routinely kill people. It would be irresponsible of me to take the test "vaccine" knowing what I know about it and myself.

Simply calculate the odds. If you develop symptoms, (cough, fever, loss of taste and smell), get your physician to prescribe hydroxychloroquine 200 mg twice daily for a week, and chances are you will be fine. Otherwise, help Bill Gates etc., make some more money on an experimental “shot” that is possibly more likely to kill than help you.
