Only 39% of people in poll said that the science on vaccines ‘is clear and it is damaging to question it’

Nearly half of Americans are somewhat skeptical of vaccines, a new poll has found.

Some 46% of U.S. adults who responded to a Public First poll by Politico in March agreed that “facts on vaccines are still up for debate and it is damaging to enforce their uptake.”

In contrast, only 39% said that the science on vaccines “is clear and it is damaging to question it.”

The results of the survey are in line with the views of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime vaccine skeptic and founder of the Republican “Make America Healthy Again” movement.

Yeah, as much as its easy to say its stupid or selfish to not be vaccinated against xyz, history is littered with examples of, specifically the US government, using vaccines as cover for evil things.

Im vaccinated against everything i could get insurance approval for, but, i cant blame the vaccine hesistant/skeptical person, i blame the system and officials who caused the hesitation/skepticism by abusing medicine for espionage and experimentation, who put their curiosity over the well being of others.
