I think you're right. I've heard from some of my colleagues indirectly that many of them are skeptical that it's worth getting the vaccine. I find that, quite frankly, absolutely astonishing.
There are many reasons, I think, that people are somewhat unwilling. What's going on right now is that there's a lot of bad information out there, and the best way to fight bad information is to generate good information. The way to do that is to do the research and come up with the numbers.
To give you an example, it has been estimated that during the swine flu pandemic of 1976 one in 100,000 people got Guillain-Barré syndrome--which is a problem, in great part because the pandemic never took off. Had the pandemic taken off, as it is clearly doing here, what you'd find is a mortality rate, a death rate, probably on the order of one in two and a half thousand. And by the way, influenza, in and of itself, causes Guillain-Barré probably on the order of one in 100,000.
So you have equal risk of Guillain-Barré, but you don't have the risk of death, which is one in two and a half thousand.
