CDC is scary as all get out. Why is the Federal govt. "marketing" a fake drug?

COVID-19 State of Vaccine
Confidence Insights Report
Report 19 | December 14, 2021 | Date Range: October 26, 2021 – November 08, 2021
Summary
Findings. This report identifies several vaccine confidence themes during this reporting period. First, despite positive vaccine
uptake trends, high-profile personalities continued to express negative vaccine sentiments which elevated these conversations.
Second, consumers continue to worry about side effects of available COVID-19 vaccines. Third, there is continued frustration
about CDC revising the definition of “vaccine” and “vaccination”. Fourth, consumers continue to show their support and
opposition to the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for children ages 5 – 11 years
old. Fifth, states and localities continue to take legislative action against implementing vaccine requirements. Sixth, social
media users expressed their support for the suspension of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) COVID-19
vaccine requirement. Finally, consumers continue to debate the role of infection-acquired immunity in preventing the spread of
COVID-19.
Ways to take action. Federal, state, and local partners should continue to work together to explain the rationale for updated
guidance, respond to gaps in information, and confront misinformation with evidence-based messaging. The goals of these
efforts are to increase confidence in COVID-19 vaccines, generate demand, and expand vaccine uptake more broadly. Partner
with professional sporting associations and teams to generate vaccine demand and promote uptake by disseminating
messages from current and former players about why they got vaccinated, whether they had concerns about the vaccine, and
what helped them overcome their concerns. Work with trusted messengers to disseminate messages that educate people on
the importance of understanding scientific study limitations and how to interpret the results of peer-reviewed and preprint
studies especially when the results appear to run counter to well-established scientific evidence.

Consumers continue to worry about side effects and adverse events of available
COVID-19 vaccines.
Since the EUA of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine in December 2020,
previous COVID-19 State of Vaccine Confidence Insights Reports found
that individuals expressing hesitation towards the COVID-19 vaccine, or
wanting to ‘wait and see’ before getting vaccinated, have often cited the
possibility of adverse events and serious long-term side effects as their
motivation behind delaying vaccination.b
In the period from November 6 to November 8, 2021,
searches including the terms “efficacy” and “safety”
increased rapidly.c Consumers continue to worry about cardiac-related side
effects.d,25,26,27 Many continue to turn to public health officials to clarify,
explain, and confirm the benefits of vaccination despite recorded
adverse events.c
Some social media users are concerned and convinced that COVID-19
vaccines do not prevent transmission between either unvaccinated or
vaccinated individuals.28,29,30 Therefore, consumers are questioning the
need for vaccination if it will not stop the spread of COVID-19 in the United
States. Questions regarding the possibility and probability of transmission
despite vaccination remain common. Public inquiries to CDC-INFO reflect
questions about whether vaccinated individuals have the potential to
spread fewer viral particles than unvaccinated individuals and if the
vaccines prevent infection or stop transmission.
Additionally, through CDC-INFO, some people were requesting sources, statistics, and studies from the CDC and other
government agencies that discuss transmission after receiving the vaccine.d In response to these content gaps, misinterpreted
or misrepresented journal manuscripts and circulating misinformation are guiding consumer opinion, potentially further sowing
doubt and confusion regarding COVID-19 transmission.31,32,33 It is important to address this gap in information and put forward
additional, trustworthy, and clear messaging about the risk of transmission after vaccination. You can find examples of resources
and graphics at this CDC website.
In response to a perceived rise in breakthrough infections, some social media users are using this to strengthen their opposition
to COVID-19 vaccines.34,35,36 On social media, vocal vaccine deniers are stating that if vaccines decrease in effectiveness over
time, then vaccination is useless and unnecessary.37,38,39 Moreover, social media users are using breakthrough infections resulting
from the Delta variant to spread the broader claim that vaccines are ineffective.40,41,42 Some are making this claim following a
widely circulating study that concludes people with breakthrough infections are just as likely as unvaccinated individuals to
spread COVID-19 to household contacts.43,44,45
Ways to act:
Work with healthcare providers, community groups promoting vaccination, and pharmacists to clarify the number of
breakthrough infections, hospitalizations, and deaths among vaccinated and unvaccinated populations. Additionally, create
and publish easy-to-understand graphics and figures showing these numbers.
Create and publish easy-to-understand content and graphics reflecting the risk of transmission after vaccination to counter
misinformation on this topic. You can find examples of resources and graphics at this CDC website.
Enlist trusted messengers to communicate scientific findings of side effects and adverse events to vaccine hesitant individuals
with a focus on uncommon dissemination channels and innovative messaging.
Work with trusted messengers to disseminate messages that educate people on the importance of understanding scientific
study limitations and how to interpret the results of peer-reviewed and preprint studies especially when the results appear to
run counter to well-established scientific evidence.
