There must be more behind vaccine refusal than just misinformation – Yahoo News

More to it than misinformation

Re: "Lies on vaccines are killing people in less educated parts of California" (Column, Dec. 14):

One does not need a college degree to see that many, if not all, of these misinformation stories are just plain ludicrous.

Common sense will see through the lies. There appears to be much more behind people's reluctance to get vaccinated than the misinformation. What about the college-educated people who refuse vaccinations? How about medical professionals?

It is shortsighted to categorize the unvaccinated as uneducated. A more comprehensive study might shed some light on why otherwise reasonable people choose not to get vaccinated.

I am quite puzzled by the media's big coverage of Officer Kim Potter relating to the "accidental shooting" of Daunte Wright in Minnesota.

Wright was trying to get away from the police as they were trying to detain him. He also had a warrant out for his arrest.

Potter knew she made an error, pulling out her gun instead of her Taser, and admitted same. Yet she is being tried by the media.

Now, Alec Baldwin took a gun pointed at an employee and "accidentally" did not check to make sure it was not loaded, fired and killed an innocent lady and wounded a man.

He is blaming everyone else for his crime, and he is getting a pass from the media. Now, this same Alec Baldwin who is against the Second Amendment, but makes a living using guns in movies, then shoots an innocent person. What a hypocrite.
