I'll just stick with the vaccines that were tested the old fashioned way for 12-15 years before unleashing them on the public.
Very well said. The differentiation between "anti-vaxxer" and "anti-COVID vaxxer" is spot on. My guess is that 95% or more of folks who have decided not to take the COVID vaccine or booster, happily and faithfully get their pneumonia, flu and shingles vaccines. I know I do. Then again, if your intent is to spread fear, you're going to adopt the broad brush approach. Easier for The Faithful to remember a two-word invented invented slogan than the actual facts, I guess.
