Mitchell sobs in a very emotional video, and says she wouldn’t recommend any

The Tennessee Department of Health said they had no record of that nurse in their health professional licensure system, but the damage was done. Mitchell sobs in a very emotional video, and says she wouldn’t recommend anyone get the vaccine, even her worst enemy. One posting of the video was viewed 50,000 times on Twitter. One iteration of the video on YouTube has over 30,000 views and multiple commenters posting against the vaccine.

“It sparked outsized fear of a real but minimal risk,” Jeffrey Kluger at TIME Magazine said of the video.
The video has been debunked, but as of December, 40% of Americans still say they will definitely not or probably not get the COVID-19 vaccine when it’s available to them, according to the Pew Research Center poll. A Gallup poll in the same time period put the number at 37%.
There are multiple conspiracy theories against the COVID vaccine, in addition to the usual refusals from the anti-vax community. Kluger states that one theory is that COVID is caused by 5G cell towers, and another claims it’s a plot by Elon Musk or the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to inject microchips into Americans. Even Bill Gates himself acknowledged the extent of the misinformation:
“It doesn’t help that there are false conspiracy theories about vaccines, including some that involve Melinda and me.”
Most people against the vaccine are simply rational people who believe the vaccine development was rushed, or who don’t want to be first in line to get it. And some medical professionals defend the apprehension of a large portion of our population in getting the vaccine. Dr. Paul Offit, the director of the Vaccine Education Center at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, validated the skepticism. And that validation is particularly important since Offit is a supporter of universal vaccination and a high-profile enemy of the anti-vax community.
“The average length of time it takes to make a vaccine is 15 to 20 years…This vaccine was made in a year,” Offit says.
But the vaccine wasn’t actually as rushed as they seem. The use of mRNA to prompt the body to make the coronavirus spike protein has been in development for over a decade, according to Dr. Richard Pan. It is not a novel method of making a vaccine, according to Kluger. Pan tries to reassure people who doubt the vaccine that there are many people who got it before them and does not advocate for mandates until there are enough vaccine doses for everyone.
Of course, there are other factors that lead to distrust of the vaccine, particularly along demographic and ideological lines. A Gallup poll found that 75% of Democrats were willing to get the vaccine in November, while 50% of Republicans were willing to get the vaccine. Older people over 65 are also more likely to be willing to get the vaccine than people under 30.
The biggest difference comes along racial lines. A December Pew Research Center poll found that 60% of Americans said they would definitely or probably get the vaccine, with 83% of “English-speaking Asian Americans” saying they would definitely or probably get vaccinated, white respondents being 63% likely, and Latinx respondents being 61% likely. But 42% of African Americans respondents said they would be likely to get the vaccine.
“Black Americans continue to stand out as less inclined to get vaccinated than other racial and ethnic groups,” Cary Funk and Alec Tyson said at the Pew Research Center.
