Vaccines are simple to understand, I don't understand Anti-Vaxxers

Because it is all about politics for them. It has nothing to do with science or even reason. If Trump were still president and pushing for the vaccine they would all be up for it.

The covid vaccine doesn't have covid in it at all.

It's an experimental vaccine and it's screwing people up. They don't show these reactions on the news. Video link.

Pfizer and Astra don't have a "weakened version of the virus inside". It's a brand new concept, not tested enough and we don't know the long term effects and reactions.

I consider vaccines to be one of the greatest inventions that mankind has made and have all possible vaccines ... but still I'm not comfortable taking a jab that was not tested enough.

Because not all people react to vaccines the same. I got a vaccine shot one time and I started to get a shiver within an hour. It knocked me off my feet for almost a week.

Vaccines are simple to understand

I've not heard anyone say they are refusing the vaccine because it's a form of population control. The arguments I've heard have been as follows:

1. The vaccine isn't a vaccine, it's a treatment. A vaccine has a medical, and legal, definition, and the Moderna and Pfizer mRNA products commonly called vaccines do not meet either definition. But vaccine sounds better, so that's how they tout it.

2. These are the first mRNA treatments ever used on humans. They think it's safe, but it's never been tried before, and this wouldn't be the first time something was considered safe, used on humans, then later recalled. Thalidomide is a famous example. AZT is another, which, by the way, was rushed through FDA approval in the 1980s at the insistence of Dr. Anthony Fauci, primarily to help pharmaceutical companies make big money, before being recalled after many deaths.

3. Treatments like hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin have been used on humans for decades without serious side effects, and have been shown to work well in treating covid. However, their patents have expired, meaning no pharmaceutical company stands to make billions from them. Some would rather try something proven safe, and potentially effective, than gamble on an untested treatment/vaccine.

4. There is a general distrust of the government and "Big Pharma," and a belief that if there are billions of dollars to be made, people will lie to make them. Scientists said for years that smoking was safe, primarily because the tobacco industry paid them to say it. The idea that politicians and the billionaires who own pharmaceutical companies would conspire to make a fortune at the possible expense of average citizens isn't far-fetched.

5. The vaccine/treatment/whatever you want to call it does not seem to be effective. Vaccinated people are contracting covid at the same rate as unvaccinated people, and can spread it just as easily. There are conflicting reports of how effective it is at preventing death from covid, but it's clear that vaccinated people are still dying from covid.

6. The vaccine is hurting and killing people. There are 10,000+ VAERS reports, and many more anecdotal stories being shared, about deaths, strokes, Guillain-Barré syndrome, thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome, myocarditis, and other issues after being vaccinated. The rampant censorship in the media makes it impossible to know what’s true or false, but the sheer number of reports is alarming.

7. Regarding censorship— if the vaccines really were safe and effective, why would such strict censorship be needed? If the government/Big Pharma has nothing to hide, why are they working so hard to hide or obscure data?

8. Covid itself isn’t as dangerous as it seems. The survival rate for someone under 70 who catches it is between 99.5% and 99.997%, and 94.6% for those 70+. Moreover, most all deaths from covid happen to people who are obese, diabetic, or otherwise unhealthy. The chance of a healthy individual dying from covid is tiny, so why risk injecting an untested, experimental treatment?

Conservatism is an emotionally driven ideology, fear of other (racism), fear of unknown (science), fear of new (conservative), it's irrational and can't be explained in rational terms. Don't get me wrong, it's not all bad, conservatism respects family, tradition, and sometimes it's good to slow down and think about new ideas; but the emotional component makes them susceptible to fear based propaganda. Also the covid vaccine is not a traditional vaccine made with attenuated virus, it's a newer technology that has been developed since the 90s. Back then mrna vaccines were sci-fi, very cool to seem become a reality. It's real Star Trek level medicine.

Because normal drugs take 10 years of rigorous testing to be approved. Because of safety concerns. And even then sometimes they have to be pulled after FDA approval because they’re dangerous.

Like vioxx that kill 60,000 people before it was pulled.

Because we have laws that clearly protect people from being forced to take drugs they don’t want.
