Why is this still an issue?
Oh yeah!
Politics and dumb facebook moms. I forgot.
Like, my GF's father literally got a shingles vaccine but won't get the Covid one. It literally makes zero sense.

I think it's just a really unfortunate coincidence of antivax trends and corona, plus a corona vaccine being more sensational, and sensational things attract conspiracies because otherwise where's the fun in it. Also I've read some things about corona isolation and despair making people fall into a conspiracy rabbit hole, not sure how true that is but it seems plausible
