Honestly, most people I know don't even know that the vaccines only have emergency approval, so they are definitely not waiting for official FDA approval.

Many around here who refuse the vaccine are doing so because they believe the vaccines contain aborted baby cells, which they don't. But, I guarantee if one of those people or their child or grandchild was dying from a disease and needed a shot to assure recovery, they would not tell the doctor holding the syringe, "Well, wait a moment. I need to see records of all the research and ingredients for this shot and then, I'll need my pastor's approval." Hell, no. If it means saving their lives or the lives of loved ones, they would not hesitate.

It boils down to selfishness. If you haven't already, Ann, read the article I've linked below. It says exactly what I believe to be true about anti-vaxxers. https://timjwise.medium.com/covid-anti-vaxxers-arent-a-maga-death-cult-it-s-worse-than-that-16d74186e46b
