I'm french and in our country, normally we are vaccine friendly.
But because it's a fresh vaccine, with a new technology inside, a lot of people have difficulty to trust it (excluding all the theoricians etc...)

I'm agree with them due to the fact that in the medical field, to be trusted, it always need time. Let's take the example of the vape,
2 or 3 years in the french market and always not trusted at all by the authorities.

What's your opinion on the subjectf?

I'm in the UK and here too we usually are very accepting of vaccines. I don't think I've ever met an anti-vaxxer before.

However, with this vaccine I am seeing a LOT of people saying they will not take it.

I get their concerns, it is new and to some degree untested. However, the same people will go out on a Friday night and take god knows what that they bought from a shady fella in the back room of a bar...then they won't take the vaccine developed by trained medical professionals.
