Published in the medical journal Vaccine, this study conducted two anonymous online surveys – one in 2019, the other in 2022 – to investigate public perspectives on the practice of vaccination and the factors that might underpin hesitancy and refusal. Questioning an overall total of 1,009 participants, the researchers found there was a decline in vaccine confidence following the COVID-19 pandemic irrespective of the participants’ gender, age, graduate status, ethnicity, and religious belief. Only around 1 in 5 of those questioned in 2022 suggested that their confidence in vaccines had actually increased since the pandemic.
In the case of the mRNA form of COVID-19 vaccines, the decline in vaccine confidence is hardly surprising. Serious side effects now attributed to these injections include severe liver damage; very low platelet counts (thrombocytopenia); high rates of severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reactions (anaphylaxis); inflammation of the heart muscle (myocarditis); blood clots (thrombosis); and even death. With analysis by British Medical Journal senior editor Peter Doshi and colleagues showing the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are statistically more likely to cause serious adverse events than they are to prevent hospitalization, it is long since time that their use should have been suspended.
