It is becoming obvious that the anti-vaxers are (either) afraid of needles or they do not know or believe the facts.
I would like to ask them what they believe their defence is against this virus and pandemic?
Have they met someone with long Covid?
The anti-vaxers belief is associated with increasingly selfish behaviour.
Vaccine hesitancy and refusal will delay New Zealand opening up to the rest of the world and may put vulnerable people at risk.
If you contract the variant you may pass it on to me, and I may, as vaccinated, get slightly sick. But I may pass it on to someone else who does not have the vaccine, who may be severely affected.
Millions have now had the vaccine and it is proving to be safe. Would someone please suggest an alternative?

Most people aren't 'anti'vaxxers' They just know that in the last 50 years over 400 supposedly safe and tested medications have been removed from use due to causing more harm than good and often death. Just look at Thalidomide. Rushed science isn't good science
This was NOT rushed science

It’s a myth that the COVID 19 vaccines were developed quickly. In fact, the COVID vaccines in use now were ready to go in January 2020. Within a few weeks of the genetic structure of the coronavirus being known, vaccine researchers were designing COVID-specific vaccines, testing them, and then putting them into clinical trials. The clinical trials did go quickly but that was because there was so much COVID around. There were so many people in the world exposed to coronavirus that the vaccine developers were able to recruit large numbers of people in an unprecedented short space of time. And because participants were exposed to the virus in such large numbers within a very short time, they knew whether the vaccines would work.
