#VaccineHesitancy- “post-truth” era- #theWHO. Making up 61% of vaccine hesitancy is:
🔴Vaccine Safety
🔴Mistrust in Health Institutions
🔴Lack of efficacy
🔴Negative exp.
🔵7% conspiracy theories
It's a ⚠️MISTRUST BASED ON EXPERIENCE & RISK issue ⚠️ NOTt conspiracy issue!

They are not hearing us or listening to the FACTS. They are stonewalling us. Vaccine hesitancy is NOT a result conspiracy theories But a result of fraudulent, conflicted & corrupted, regulator, safety & manufacturing processes that have caused Negative experiences (NO LIABILITY)
And nearly 10% of healthcare workers ⚠️⚠️⚠️KNOW IT. apps.who.int/iris/bitstream…
The politicization of science can limit the positive impacts that scientific advances can offer when people reject sound and beneficial scientific advice. Politicization has undoubtedly contributed to hesitancy toward uptake of the COVID-19 vaccine. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

Did you know that #India's 🇮🇳 Universal Immunization Programme is one of the world's most cost-effective #publichealth interventions?💡
It's been instrumental in reducing vaccine-preventable diseases and under-5 child mortality rates.
Here's how it works: 🧵

Despite efforts,unvaccinated children in India still run high.
LODOR (Left-out,Drop-out,Resistant) families are especially at risk.
That's why #UNICEF partner with civil society organizations & community-based groups(CBOs) to ensure full immunization coverage #foreverychild.

Strengthening the system through community outreach!
Civil society organizations are key partners in implementing immunization programs. They disseminate crucial information, provide health system support, and train frontline workers to ensure seamless logistics.

@NortheastToday #COVID19 #vaccinehesitancy
At a time when the world is moving towards globalization and fighting the menace of the COvid-19 pandemic, there are still people in Northeast’s Nagaland who are reluctant to get vaccinated due to certain rumors that are being spread on the social media by unscrupulous persons.+
As India is moving towards a 100 % coverage of the first vaccination dose coverage is, in Nagaland’s low literacy Kiphire district, people are still in dilemma.+
Me, waiting in an overcrowded pharmacy for my #COVID19 booster
Woman of Color (#WOC) in front of me: It is NOT safe to have this many people in one place!
Me: I hear you. This is not COVID-19 safe at all. I'm here for my booster.
WOC: Wait, I have some questions about that.

WOC: Wait, I have some questions about that.
Me: I work in medicine. Maybe I can help.
Her: See, what I don't understand is: why are there two shots?
Me: Yeah, fair. This kind of virus confuses your body, so the first time your body sees it, it is CONFUSED.
Her: Yeah, yeah.

Her: Now that makes sense.
Me: Mm-hm.
Her: You know, I'm just here to pick up my prescription. I have to work tomorrow, you know, third shift.

On #Sept11, 2,996 died. 412 were 1st responders running INTO danger.

WHY did they do this? Listen to my patient Col. Correa👇
HINT: it was NOT religion, politics, or patriotism.

3/🎥 I cared for 9/11 hero Colonel Victor Correa as he died in our @VA hospital years later. His story is told in #EveryDeepDrawnBreath. He carried men out of the Pentagon saving lives. Watch more of his testimonial…
1/🧵🎥 UBUNTU is an answer to the #COVID question not enough of us are asking:
Who is my neighbor?
Our response to this question will dictate our #PublicHealth decisions.
What is ubuntu? A type of humanism needed #now more than ever. Listen to Nelson Mandela & Desmond Tutu!👏

2/🎥👇 Nelson Mandela on Ubuntu: “A traveler through a country would stop at a village and he didn't have to ask for food or for water. Once he stops, the people give him food and attend him. That is one aspect of Ubuntu, but it will have various aspects.”
3/ Embracing #Ubuntu means it’s not about you, it’s not about me, it’s about us working together as one! Ubuntu is belief in a universal bond of sharing that connects all humanity & transcends barriers, ideologies, cultural diversity and more.
1/🧵 My interview w @FoxNews @DavidRutz talking about how to overcome #VaccineHesitancy:
My #1 point: "The main thing is to listen. As soon as we start jamming stuff down someone’s throat, they quit listening because we’re not listening to them.”

2/ "So what I found is just to be a person & say, 'I'm looking at you in the eyes,' I'm here for you, and I want to listen to what what's going on with you, and you tell me, please, what is it that's getting you afraid?' …
3/ “Try and really understand, put yourself in their place and then on an individual basis, address each fear…1 by 1..."
1/#pregnancy and #covidvaccine: SRO Bolton view-thread. I gave the very first #Bolton #covidvaccine in Dec 2020. I was nervous. It felt like a monumental moment for us all. We were telling people then that over 40,000 people had had the #vaccine at this point.
2/ we were also telling people they couldn’t have it if they were pregnant or planning a pregnancy. We had no reason to think it was unsafe but we had no evidence that it wasn’t. Thousands of women heard the ‘don’t have if planning pregnancy’ and believed it caused infertility.
3/ we spent weeks/ months trying to bust the infertility myth as young carers and health carers declined in the hope of a pregnancy. Pretty soon suspicion became reality that 1. Pregnant women could get really sick with Covid 2. Vaccinated pregnant women were doing just fine
Good idea @KasperKepp Let's bring international attention to this matter.

November 2020. Preventive measures against covid19 might make children more susceptible to severe covid19 later.😧 #JustAskingQuestions
1/ SRO vaccine Bolton - experience of #VaccineHesitancy thread. #WHO defines vaccine hesitancy as a “delay in acceptance or refusal of safe vaccines despite availability of vaccine services’’ As lead for vaccines in UK #covid hotspot #bolton this is of interest to people I meet
2/#WHO specifies complacency, convenience, confidence, and sociodemographic contexts as factors. #bolton is a diverse town with over 10 years life expectancy variance between rich and poor areas and hugely different healthy life expectancy #inequalities
3/ Feb 21 -data started to emerge that poorer parts town had lower uptake. People worried that misinformation, digital poverty, cultural beliefs etc meant people didn’t want the #vaccine in these areas. Other parts of town consistently hitting >95% uptake in eligible cohorts.
A chemical engineer from Andhra Pradesh became viral on social media by talking against vaccines. He now appeared in mainstream media channels and quoted that every family will have one death in the third corona wave.

Supreme Court questioned Modi govt on Vaccine supply & differential pricing and its Ok. Point to be noted that it was States who asked for Decentralization of Vaccines. Supreme Court didn't ordered to Modi government to provide FREE Vaccines to States, but Modi did.
Several propaganda cartoons blaming Modi for Covid-19 situation floating around. 'Health' is States subject in India. fact remains, India has registered lowest Covid-19 De∆ths amongst major countries. De∆th rate in non-BJP States are highest, but entire blame is on Modi.
Thread on #GramPanchayat task force chaired by #Rangamma frm #Soliga #Adivasi community #brhills #Chamarajanagar; praise for #HealthWorkers but frustration at lack of “higher officials” coming to GPs; @readingkafka @iphindia
PHC MO and other doctors address the gathering about the last one month experience of #Chamarajanagar and how situation is slowly improving; need to address hesitancy towards testing and vaccine; also not to become complacent about dropping numbers
PHC Dr frm #Gumballi patiently heard & clarified how these are stressful times for all #HealthWorkers; members demand at least one visit a month from #taluka officials; patient listening of complaints is an important function even if they are not immediately resolved;

"They send 'black' vaccines for us while people in the cities are being given 'white' vaccines!"
"The vaccines are to kill us as we are poor!"
These statements certainly have much deeper connotations attached to them than just 'safety concerns'.

#VaccineHesitancy among the rural and the tribal communities is a complex phenomenon and is driven by more than mere lack of health awareness or misinformation. It's also not something which has emerged abruptly overnight.

The origins of their apprehensions are rooted in the historic backdrop of perpetual discrimination, exploitation and alienation faced over the ages at the hands of those in power.

71% of South Africans were would get a #COVID19sa vaccine, according to country's first nationally representative survey on #vaccinehesitancy. Afrikaans home language speakers were more likely than other language groups to be vaccine-hesitant, shows new NIDS-CRAM data. #COVID19
NIDS-CRAM survey looked at the extent of vaccine hesitancy among about 6630 adults in SA, the reasons why & who might be more or less likely to be vaccine hesitancy. The survey found the highest level of vaccine willingness (71%) of surveys so far.
About 31% of vaccine-hesitant people in South Africa are worried about side effects and about 20% are either worried about the effectiveness of jabs or don't believe in vaccines generally. #COVID19 #COVID19sa
