I would say that it originated with a certain powerful political figure who was against it. Not something a manly man would submit to. Of course, there were similar uprisings against vaccines for polio, diphtheria, TB, Ebola and others. Should we shun those as well?
    I think it's mainly because it's a different type of vaccine & that it didn't go through the same rigorous testing. That, coupled with the mystery in China of exactly where this emanated from. I think that's great reason to be abundantly cautious about things. At the same time, when it comes to health and pandemics, we sometimes simply have faith in our doctors and medicine community.

    It's difficult to compare uprisings or whatever about a vaccine during the time it comes out, compared to looking at things upon reflection. Of course we shouldn't shun those vaccines, but that doesn't take away from initial fears and people wanting full understanding before putting something in their bodies. In the end I choose vaccine safety, but I fully understand the hesitance of others.

    There are a helluva lot more reasons not to take the damn shot than there are to take it.
    One informed look at the true death rate proves that- as well as all the damn lies they told to gin up fear!
    And all the damn lies that they are still telling.--Tyr
