where the vaccine is manufactured is less of a concern than how effective it is. the pollsters asked the wrong question.
“According to the survey, 49% of Pakistanis are skeptical of getting vaccinated once the vaccine becomes available in Pakistan.”
No, they didn’t. 49% aren’t fond of getting vaccinated.
Apart from the general question, the most effective vaccines are from the US and EU so it is a good question to ask.
The vaccine companies say that the vaccine does not do any harm and that the one who gets the vaccine will be protected from the virus. Then i dont understand why are governments forcing people to get vaccinated? And i think this would intensify in the coming days.
It should be the choice of every citizen to get vaccinated or not. Because the people who do get vaccinated would become immune and people who dont get vaccinated should not be a risk to them anyways.
