Two-thirds of U.S. voters say they won’t try to get a coronavirus vaccine as soon as it becomes available, and one in four say they don’t want to ever get it, according to a new USA TODAY/Suffolk Poll released the same week that the number of COVID-19 cases surpassed 6 million. “I don’t plan on being…

NBC News reports “Many parents are hesitant to give their kids a Covid-19 vaccine. What if schools require it?
This is going to be a huge issue, and I don’t think most people understand that yet,” a school law attorney said. Michelle Vargas of Granite City, Illinois, has always vaccinated her 10-year-old daughter, Madison. They both typically get flu shots. But when a vaccine for the coronavirus eventually comes out, Vargas will not be giving it…
Physicians for Informed Consent delivers statement “Opposing UC Regents’ Flu Vaccine Mandate”
On behalf of hundreds of physician and scientist members of Physicians for Informed Consent, I am writing out of our concern that the bodily integrity of UC students, faculty, and staff is being potentially sacrificed by the recent UC Regents’ flu vaccine mandate,1 with no robust scientific justification. Patients have reported becoming ill following flu vaccination….

Flu Injection — Fatal Infection What connects the countries of Belgium, Peru, the UK, Spain, Italy, Chile, Sweden, the US, Mexico, and France? These countries, the top ten in COVID-19 mortality (as of August 24, 2020, according to Johns Hopkins), all injected more than 49% of their elderly populations with the flu vaccine.

Systematic Reviews reports “Benefits and harms of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines: systematic review with meta-analyses of trial data from clinical study reports”
At 4 years follow-up, the HPV vaccines decreased HPV-related cancer precursors and treatment procedures but increased serious nervous system disorders (exploratory analysis) and general harms. As the included trials were primarily designed to assess benefits and were not adequately designed to assess harms, the extent to which the HPV vaccines’ benefits outweigh their harms is unclear….
Medscape reports “Paul Offit’s Biggest Concern About COVID Vaccines”
Topol: Well, that gets us to the public trust and the fact that willingness to have the vaccine is important. Because if there is terrible mistrust, we won’t ever get to the level of immunity in the population. Offit: It’s hard to promote trust now absent data. Once we know the characteristics of these vaccines, it’ll be…
Journal of Translational Autoimmunity reports “Pathogenic priming likely contributes to serious and critical illness and mortality in COVID-19 via autoimmunity”
Homology between human and viral proteins is an established factor in viral- or vaccine-induced autoimmunity. Failure of SARS and MERS vaccines in animal trials involved pathogenesis consistent with an immunological priming that could involve autoimmunity in lung tissues due to previous exposure to the SARS and MERS spike protein. Exposure pathogenesis to SARS-CoV-2 in COVID-19…

Mises Institute reports “Mandatory Covid-19 Vaccination Is Unethical and Unscientific”
If a vaccine is 100 percent effective, there is no justification for mandatory vaccination. Anyone who wishes to be protected can voluntarily take the vaccine. It would not be possible for someone declining the vaccine to harm someone who voluntarily takes the vaccine. Any call for a mandatory vaccine is an explicit admission that the vaccine…
