More than two thirds of Amerikans oppose mandatory COVID-19 vaccinations!

NEW YORK (PNN) - November 22, 2020 - Ever since it burst out of Wuhan, China roughly one year ago, the coronavirus has created what one economist described as a “trilemma” - that is, the struggle to balance the inevitable tradeoffs between safeguarding public health, the economy and personal freedom.

In the Fascist Police States of Amerika (and in many spots around Europe as well), some have pointed to skepticism surrounding the accelerated development process for the myriad COVID vaccine projects as a potential obstacle to achieving herd immunity, since a lack of public confidence might force some governments to try and unduly pressure citizens to accept the vaccine.

With all this in mind, policymakers and economists are struggling to pinpoint an acceptable trade-off between public health, economic health and personal freedom. Some analysts have taken to calling these conflicting priorities the coronavirus “trilemma”.

However these conflicts are resolved will be critical to the economic outlook in 2021, and with Wall Street increasingly expecting the FPSA economy to slide back into contraction during Q4, speculation about the timing and pace of the rebound has been pushed out to next year, and 2022.

To be sure, the timing of the COVID-19 vaccine rollout will be critical in deciding how all of this plays out. But there’s another issue, more closely related to the “personal freedom” leg of the “trilemma”, which epidemiologists and policymakers may have underestimated. That’s the question of public confidence in the vaccine.

Several Wall Street research shops have published insights on the subject, using data gleaned from YouGov and Gallup opinion polls, along with other sources. The other day, Deutsche Bank published a chart breaking down eagerness to receive the vaccine, along with opinions about whether it should be mandatory.

Opinion polling is clear. In the FPSA, more than two thirds of the population feels receiving a COVID-19 vaccine should be voluntary. What’s more, only a small percentage of Amerikans would push to be vaccinated within the first month of a vaccine being widely available. Most appear content to hang back, presumably more concerned about when the economy will be allowed to reopen than when they might be able to get vaccinated.

Of course, opinions could shift substantially if something unexpected happens between now and when the FDA is due to begin reviewing the Pfizer (and eventually, Moderna) applications for emergency-use approval.

It’s also conceivable that something goes wrong with vaccine safety or the manufacturing process. Most precariously, there is what is known as “vaccine-hesitancy”. Across the world, many are reluctant to take one. These are the results of surveys conducted in the FPSA and Western Europe for Deutsche Bank AG. They suggest that politicians may be forced to make vaccinations mandatory, which could make the politics of 2021 very dangerous:

Another chart from DB shows that attitudes about vaccines across Europe are mostly the same as in the FPSA, with the Fascist United Kingdom seeing generally higher acceptance of vaccines.

Over the past week, Dr. Anthony Fauci - the discredited mouthpiece for face mask and vaccine mandates in the Fascist Police States of Amerika - has upped the rhetoric about vaccine skeptics, labeling them as a “serious threat” to public health, while millions of Amerikans prepare to ignore the CDC’s guidelines and travel to see family and friends despite the situation.

Could it be that more people than ever around the world are waking up to the fact that the entire COVID-19 “pandemic” has been manufactured, is not the threat we are told it is, and does not require the tyrannical and dictatorial tactics unlawfully employed by governments around the world?
