What’s really behind vaccine refusal

News stories claim that many have not yet been vaccinated for SARS-CoV2 because 1) they can’t get an appointment or 2) Fox News is telling them not to.  Wrong on both counts.  Many are not getting vaccinated because these vaccines are still an experimental product until they are fully licensed, they know that their chances of getting COVID are low, the vaccines will likely not fully prevent one from transmitting the virus, and for some, they already had COVID.  But one of the biggest reasons is also that Japanese data shows that the lipid nanoparticles and spike protein are making it into parts of the body far from the injection site instead of staying put.  Yes, I know the study was a high dosage in rodents and yes, I know it is a small amount.  But it’s enough to cause inflammation of lymph nodes in some women, observed during mammography.  What’s the effect?  We don’t know, because not enough time has passed.  Some reproductive effects don’t show up for years.  So thank you, but I’ll wait for a licensed inactivated intact viral particle vaccine for COVID, if I ever take one.  And I haven’t watched Fox News in years.
