Leaving aside true antivaxers, the concern breaks down to risk/reward.


The obvious concern is that the Vax may be more dangerous than the disease.


The equine Hendra Vax is a case in point, it kills many more equines, and causes a crapper load more of severe adverse reactions than those actually affected by Hendra virus.


Hence the class action against Zoetis.


May I remind people of the Thalidomide fiasco of what happens when pharmaceuticals go wrong.


I don't think the great majority of people are anti vaccine but rather anti "safe"vaccine.


When you consider that this virus has a greater than 99% survival rate, and multitudes greater than that when people do not have any comorbidities, the safety of any vaccine must reflect that reality.


In other words a vaccine must have many times lesser effect on humans then the disease, otherwise there is no point to the vaccine.


A vax that is rushed through the process cannot be assures this result, hence the distrust.


The vaccines that you have mentioned in your post do actually reflect this metric, and is the reason for their broad acceptance.


When comparing vaccines to vaccines one must compare apples to apples, not apples to oranges.
