Hawai`i Survey: COVID-19 Vaccine Uncertainty Growing Among Public
A November 2020 survey of 616 Hawai`i residents performed by University of Hawaii at Mānoa Public Policy Center revealed that only 44% of respondents intend to get the COVID-19 vaccine when available. 37% remain unsure if they will get it; the number of respondents definite that they would get it has declined 7% since the Public Policy Center’s August 2020 survey.
Colin Moore, director of the Center, attributed waning COVID-19 vaccine interest to “uncertainty in the government right now” and “lack of trust in the regulatory process right now that it will be safe.”
Children’s Health Defense – Hawai`i Chapter President, Kim Haine, who was invited to HawaiiNewsNow on Dec. 8 to comment on the survey, stated, “This vaccine is liability-free. If it injures you, the manufacturers and the providers are protected under…the PREP Act. So you’re out of luck; you can’t sue them.”
In fact, all childhood vaccines on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s [CDC’s] recommended childhood vaccine schedule are liability-free, since the 1980s. [This shocking video explores the history of how and why the US Government granted vaccine manufacturers liability protection in the first place.]
CHD-HI is committed to the principle of medical freedom for all. Those who choose to take COVID-19 vaccines, or any vaccines, should be free to do so. On the flip side, however, in accordance with the Nuremberg Code, deriving from the post-World War II era, no medical procedure or experiment should ever be mandated, but rather must be completely voluntary and un-coerced after full disclosure of risks. People always must give their informed consent; in the case of minor children, competent parents or guardians must give informed consent on their children’s behalf.
