Many many people were vaccine hesitant. It was not a false perception that many were hesitant.
I spent a lot of time with friends and family convincing them how to think about the risks and to convince them to take the vaccine.
Yeah long before covid people were vaccine hesitant too. You just didn't really see it come to a head until covid really forced those people out of the woodwork but they were there the whole time not doing their flu shot, not keeping up with their past shots, and doing bare minimum of immunizations for school.
I think we’re talking about two different things.
What I was trying to say is that many people (who are not vaccine skeptics), were hesitant to take a covid vaccine, and their hesitancy (contrary to the article’s assertion), was not due to a handful of people who spread misinformation.
