DuPreez is not alone. About 40% of people over the age of 18 in the US have not been vaccinated, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The number one reason adults cite for not getting the COVID-19 vaccine is wanting to “wait and see” if the vaccine has any long-term side effects before receiving the shot, according to KFF”s COVID-19 Vaccine Monitor. “I am not aware of any vaccine where the first set of negative effects show up past eight weeks after immunization,” Dr. Ashish K. Jha, Dean of the Brown University School of Public Health, wrote on the school”s website. “The biology of how vaccines work suggests that it would not make sense for a new side effect to show up five years later.” Doctors are flagging the very real dangers of vaccine hesitancy, with one Arkansas doctor delivering an emotional plea that described the “regret and remorse” on the faces of patients dying with COVID-19, Insider”s Mia Jankowicz reported. “I have had to call multiple fathers and mothers of preschoolers in their 20s and 30s and tell them that their spouse may very well not survive this hospitalization,” he said.
