COVID Nuggets: What is "Vaccine Hesitancy"?
This seems to be a term coined by Pharma and policy makers pushing the jabs. Vaccine is a market item. Just like anything else, consumers will go for it if they like it, otherwise, they do not. That is a personal choice of each consumer. Nobody, not even the Government has the right to badge someone "vaccine hesitant".
Now, coming to the COVID-19 vaccines, let us all be aware that these vaccines have been approved for "restricted use in emergency situation" and are being administered in "clinical trial mode" as stated by CDSCO. So, it is doubly unethical and illegal for someone to badge another "vaccine hesitant" and coerce the person to allow a medical trial on his body.
QED: To spread and use the term "vaccine hesitancy" is deeply unethical and probably can be established as illegal.
Vaccine hesitancy is a kind of crime. You could get sick and pass on sickness to others.The sickness can be fatal too!

So say Youtube and Facebook. But, please show some research!!

The basic underlying need is to get vaccinated for the sake of at least the people around you. Your hesitancy should not be someone else's funeral. Keep you Physics talk for a theoretical discussion paper please.

How can the protection that failed/fails to protect the protected protect the unprotected?

There is nothing unethical about it. Vaccine hesitancy explains the behaviour, attitude and psychology of those individuals who hesitate to take the vaccine despite facing an emergency situation. The more people take it, the better it is for the community in terms of herd immunity, irrespective of what some studies claim on its individual effectiveness. Please do not get too technical and mislead the public. Please encourage them to get vaccinated...

"Vaccine Hesitancy" is a term invented to confuse common people so they cannot recognize the existence of difference of opinion and scientific disputation. This term allows to fuel sentiments against those disagree and dispute the theories and models employed by the pharma in the manufacture of these vaccines.
For example, if I dispute Newton's laws, I don't become "Newton hesitant". If I dispute Relativity, I don't become "Einstein hesitant". These things are very common in science. For example, and Indian mathematician corrected Einstein's General Relativity by solving some differential equations that Einstein could not and that leads us to a different conclusions than what Einstein proposed!!
Similarly, there is a lot of scientific opinion debating and disputing every aspect of this pandemic response. This term is camouflage to hide this from common public. Hope I have conveyed the gravity of the situation.
