As the U.S. faces down the threat of the more transmissible Delta variant, experts are working harder than ever to understand the concerns of vaccine "holdouts."

In interviews with public health experts, several key themes behind remaining hesitancy emerged -- including misinformation, mistrust in the medical establishment, and specific concerns among those newly eligible, such as an impact on fertility.

To better understand what's keeping about a third of U.S. adults from getting even one dose, MedPage Today started in Arkansas, which has one of the lowest vaccination rates in the country, with just 34% of residents fully vaccinated.

Case Study: Arkansas

Jennifer Dillaha, MD, the medical director for immunizations at the Arkansas Department of Health, said misinformation is rampant in the state, and is a key reason behind vaccine refusal.

"There is so much misinformation, and many people have misconceptions about the safety and efficacy of the vaccines," Dillaha told MedPage Today. "They have difficulty sorting through the information available, and they are not able to distinguish accurate information from misinformation."-- excerpt, rest at link above --

There you go...the "holdouts" are stupid, unreasonable and selfish. Too damn stupid to see the benefit of taking an untested trial "vaccine" with many reports of serious side effects (including death) for a disease that is very survivable for most people. The nerve!

they can all go to hell....
