Vaccine Hesitancy Slowing South Korea’s COVID Shot Campaign
South Korea like many other nation’s in the world has issues with COVID vaccine hesitancy:
Contrary to health authorities’ expectations for high turnouts, there was a great deal of hesitancy about getting the shots, largely driven by safety concerns over AstraZeneca (AZ) jabs — the bulk of which the country has procured for its 51.3 million citizens.
“Rumors and unfounded arguments about AZ side effects circulated through mainstream and social media,” Chun Eun-mi, a professor at Ewha Womans University Medical Center, said. “The deaths and severe abnormal reaction cases, like the 40-something nurse who suffered quadriplegic symptoms, added to the fears,” she said.
An April survey by Hankook Research conducted on 1,000 adults showed that 61.4 percent of the respondents said they were willing to get vaccinated, down 6.6 percentage points from its March survey. More than 84 percent of them cited the fears about abnormal reactions.

I have to hand it to Yonhap. At least there was no denial of such a severe vaccine injury.
But the overall message is: go ahead and play Russian roulette; the chance of injury is small. The benefits outweigh the risks. If you pull the trigger (and live), you get to take off your mask.
I asked my primary oncologist. He literally told me I have no health problems preventing me from taking the vaccine; but he also advised me to hold off for now.
Seems like I need to “follow the science” here. They may know something they’re not allowed to say. I certainly would not say those people are anti-vaxxers.
All of us should deal with our own medical professionals and make informed decisions about our health in all areas, not just thw COVID-19 vaccines…
He gave you a message Set; read between the lines. There is a LOT known or suspected but not said (or even asked) particularly with the mRNAs.
Which all point to the reason Biden’s latest stimulus included $3B to combat vaccine hesitancy. Not to adjust the formulary or study dosage, but it’s all going toward the information campaign.
Drs Stephanie Seneff, Judy Mikovits, and Joe Mercola deep dive into what really happens in the circulatory system (including blood clots), immune system, spleen, and pancreas after these injections. Most of the video’s information comes from Drs Seneff and Mikovits colleagues working at Pfizer and Moderna.

Thanks Mcgeehee, that confirms it wasn’t just my imagination.
