As COVID vaccines become more readily available, it’s become clear a large part of the population doesn’t want to get inoculated. This past week a Marist poll showed 3 in 10 Americans won’t get one the vaccine. That number is similar even among healthcare workers. The Washington Post reports:
This will undoubtedly be seen by some vaccine skeptics as legitimizing their fears. Even many health-care workers won’t take it, period, or are hesitant. And if even they aren’t convinced?
With all this in mind a group of physicians from Northern California who call themselves “Vax’n 8” adapted “My Shot” from the Broadway musical Hamilton. The group writes:
“My Shot” addresses the social, scientific and political issues currently affecting the decision to receive the vaccine against the virus SARS CoV-2, or COVID-19. While we completely respect everyone’s freedom of choice, we as a group of physicians support and encourage everyone who can to receive a vaccine based on our understanding of both the science behind its safety, and the global imperative to bring population immunity to the point where the pandemic can finally come to an end.
