People are opposed to being vaccinated because of a coordinated media campaign put out by elements in the mainstream media - not least from outlets like Fox whose employees are 90% vaccinated, while daily tests are mandated for the rest.
Being strongly opposed to something does not make opposition legitimate or warranted. It's perfectly possible to believe something which is absolutely harmful and objectively wrong on a mass scale. Such beliefs are not protected by law or by any reasonable definition of ethical morality.
So having said that - why do you think Fox and co. require tests and vaccinations for their own people while broadcasting anti-vaxxer denialism to their viewers?
Don't watch the news, I read it, never on fox. Don't want the vaccine because I was already infected. I lost my sense of smell for two weeks and slept a lot. Big deal. I don't want side effects of feeling shitty for a week after the vaccine and I don't think there has been enough time to study the side effects. The amount of propaganda and lack of an actual conversation on this fuels my cause. Additionally I don't trust the federal government to do anything other than spend money.
Oh dear. I really don't care what Fox News does. It is very sad to me that this passes as an argument for you. I don't care to speculate on the motivations of a giant corporation. It's also not even true that Fox is "anti vax" - you can find videos of Sean Hannity and the like imploring their audience to get vaccinated. Fox, like all media, makes an enormous portion of its ad revenue from pharmaceutical companies. So you're not even right on your characterization of Fox's stance. Fox is largely pro-vaccine. Trump is pro-vaccine. All the mainstream republicans are pro-vaccine. And none of this is at all relevant, so why are we wasting time talking about it?
I already said (in the comment you directly replied to) why I personally am not getting vaccinated against COVID. I don't understand where your rambling diatribe about Fox News comes from. I gather that you might be a binary thinker that thinks that everyone fits into a red or blue, left or right, democrat or republican, etc box?

This is an unfounded assertion. And also simply not true BTW, at least for all of the unvaccinated people (myself included) that I know in my personal life.
To be clear, Hannity's position, at least as he states repeatedly on his radio show, is "Talk to your doctor and do what you both agree is appropriate for your personal health situation." He is generally pro-vaccine, but not in the "your needs are outweighed by the needs of society" way that appears to be popular now.
