    Many different groups, there is the people who are just full of brainworms, there are the people who were always anti vax, but I think the largest group is the people who got spooked by all the fear mongering around the vaccines. Idk if this happened in the US too, but in Europe many people got spooked by the reports of severe side effects by AZ, as well as lots of misinformation and hearsay. The other thing I hear a lot is "normally vaccines are tested for at least 4 years and these haven't been tested and maybe something will come up in a few years yada yada". That sort of stuff. Recently there is also a lot of "it doesn't work anyways", again because of misinformation and badly presented information. Oh, there is also people who are pro vax but have also received misinformation and think they can't do it for some reason. They ask their doctors and their doctors are sometimes too afraid to take responsibility in case something happens (even something unrelated to vaccines) and they tell them "oh you have lactose intolerance? Yeah don't do it. Oh you're pregnant? Yeah better wait. Oh your butt hurts? Yeah I wouldn't do it". Nonsense like that. Sometimes it is doctors who are antivax. Again idk how common it is in the US.

      There are also all the people who fit into one of the "we will do medical experiments on you without telling you because we don't see you as people" groups who are rightly cautious about the government doing a medical experiment on them again.

        What experiment lol the people who think that way have typically been misinformed once again by irresponsible people or not informed adequately enough, it's not so much a genuine or reasonable reflex.

          If you're poor, not white, or not a male, chances are pretty good people like you (and possibly even you) have been experimented upon by this government.

            Yes, I know, I'm saying what is the relation to the covid vaccines? Vaccines are not experimental or whatever. The whole rhetoric around this is honestly just irresponsible af and leads to people avoiding the vaccines for no reason.

                    I know what happened, I don't understand what the relation to the covid vaccines is, like, is it reasonable to just keep refusing any kind of healthcare forever because tuskegee?

            The chuds quoting Tuskegee were never the ones who would have been in danger of it happening to them.

            Fuck em.

                I just can't think of a single mass scale medical abuse happening to the racial majority.

                Those things happen in LARGE part because of dehumanization and racism. The doctors carrying it out were not black. None of them were.

                Its hard to disentangle that racism is a major factor of Tuskegee.

                Its like ignoring that no ethnicity has ever genocided itself. Feels like you're missing a key ingredient of the imminent harm.
