COVID-19 has surely changed people’s lives not only by directly threatening their lives but also by spreading chaos, obscurity, and distrust. For quite some time, everyone has known that the most effective way to end this misery and the constraints is to invent a vaccine that would fight the virus. Vaccines are known to be a helpful and reliable way out of the pandemic, so once it was discovered and presented to the public, people once again were given the hope that soon this all would be over. However, not everyone is convinced that these vaccines are reliable and pose no threat to our health. The disagreements between those who believe in vaccination and those skeptical about it have become quite the topic, with various (scientific) proof and personal experiences as well as fake news and propaganda.

In December 2020, a Twitter account called @BadVaccineTakes was created. The account that now has almost 33k followers posts “bad science/conspiracies,” or in other words, shares content that is created and spread by anti-vaxxers. BadVaccineTakes include tweets with pictures revealing various conspiracy theories about the negative outcomes of vaccines that are not true and discourage people from getting the shot that can prevent them from experiencing harsh symptoms of the virus.

Even though it is hard to deny the efficacy of the vaccines, there are numerous reasons why some people still refuse to get them. So what are these reasons? First of all, some are still in denial that there is such thing as COVID-19, thinking that it is just a hoax, a lie that makes it easier to monitor people. And even if the virus is true, then their own immune system will be able to fight it.

Another reason for not wanting to get a vaccine is that it was discovered very recently and so we don’t know what side effects it could have on us. A lot of people who are against the vaccine share theories about it changing one’s DNA, as well as causing infertility or birth defects.

Of course, everyone can have doubts about this situation and the potential way out of this, but it seems that with time, these fears that later turn into misinforming theories are getting out of hand, causing people to lose their loved ones or put themselves at risk.

Despite the fact that vaccines from COVID-19 were found not that long ago, various reports show that they are in fact effective and help prevent people from experiencing heavier COVID-19 symptoms. According to GOV.UK, vaccines are highly efficient and help to more easily avoid “hospitalization from the Delta (B.1.617.2) variant.”
