The FDA should fully authorize the vaccine (remove the "Emergency Use Authorization" status) immediately so the media can start flagging "it's not fully approved" as misinformation. The manufacturers are literally not even allowed to advertise the vaccine until it's fully approved. Being "overly cautious" means letting hundreds die every day to preserve the sactity of FDA bureaucracy.
Paying people to take the vaccine is a good idea too, as is some form of guaranteed, paid medical leave for vaccine side effects (obviously there should be medical leave regardless).
At this point there's no "magic bullet" to fixing the hesitancy crisis, but there are a lot of tweaks and minor policy changes that could go a long way.
The way to solve the hesitancy crisis is for the US government to manage to not do any horrific medical experiments on anyone for like 20 years in a row.
