NIH Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya makes a strong argument for why, if you are pro vaccine, you should be against vaccine mandates.
“The key reason why we’re seeing drop in vaccination uptake by children is because of a drop in public trust in public health.”
“The reason why you see high vaccination rates in places without vaccine mandates outside the U.S. is because public trust in public health is just very high.”
“That’s the thing we have to address in this country.”
“And I believe mandates are counterproductive for that.”
“It might work in the short run, but in the long run, ultimately, you build groups that say, ‘I don’t know why you’re forcing me to do this.’”
“Instead of reaching out to people and saying, ‘Look this is good for the health of your children.’”
