—Fear of the unknown: What if this causes cancer?
—Indifference and poor risk assessment: I have to wear masks for the long, foreseeable future anyways, as a healthcare worker. Thus, I’m already protected, so I’ll just get the vaccine later once more people have it or when they finally make a second generation of the vaccine.
I was typically able to break each one of these down to convince others their position wasn’t justified.

It's interesting that an overwhelming majority of healthcare workers seem to fear the potential negative impacts from the vaccine when they have been on the front lines of this pandemic for almost a year. You would think they would be more afraid of getting Covid19. Maybe they realize the virus isn't as scary as politicians and the MSM would like us to believe it is?
