Opinion | Anti-vaccine sentiment and restoring confidence in public health policy WashTimesOpEd
And to be honest, that’s not surprising. Public health and government officials have continuously shot themselves in the foot — intentionally or not — since the virus hit U.S. shores in early 2020.
Americans have a right to be angry about how things unfolded. People were misled, and transparency took a back seat to political expediency. But conservatives should be careful. They shouldn’t allow this period of poorly managed public health policy to grow into a lasting anti-science attitude. A mountain of evidence suggests that coronavirus vaccines are safe and effective at helping to prevent severe illness, hospitalization and death. While Americans should — and do — have the right to make their own health care decisions, it’s important to continue using science and history as our North Star.Vaccines have been used for decades to help prevent the spread of infectious diseases. The fights against polio, measles and mumps are storied examples.
In regard to the coronavirus vaccines, although a health emergency opened the door for a streamlined approval process, the FDA’s high safety and efficacy standard was not jeopardized. And the quick authorization was a godsend for older or otherwise compromised Americans who faced the worst odds if or when they confronted the virus.It’s fueled by a combination of misinformation, mistrust in government, and political polarization.
