A note in the margins

March 1, 2021

Vaccine hesitancy for COVID-19 is a portfolio of motivations:

  • dissent: not just anti-vaccine but a spectrum of dissenters from “highly educated parents who are interested in holistic, naturalistic child-rearing to conspiracy theorists who want to abolish vaccines entirely”
  • deliberation: “a time of watchful waiting … a skepticism of a system that has consistently demonstrated that their health is not a priority.”
  • distrust: “distrust regarding the entire government”
  • indifference: people who are “not concerned at all” about the virus.
