Notes -
The resources available to address vaccine hesitancy are in general very good, they have ones that lay the problems and considerations out in plain English with good details and citations to high quality research. I'd send you one but my desire to find the best one means I'd be going on a research rabbit hole I don't have to time for at this exact moment, but if you look you should find one (sorry I'm not a pediatrician, if I was I'd probably have one I like on hand).
The problem is the the left-wing political capture of the field and therefore the refusal to abandon any of the "teams" talking point which right now means over recommending the COVID vaccine.
"Hey we recognize that the COVID vaccine recommendations are unpopular but the evidence base is much stronger for everything else, here's how" would probably please a good chunk of the skeptics but broken woke brains can't do that, leaving frustrated people like me with a mess.
Which has been why I've been (loudly here and very very quietly in real life) been complaining about captured political expression in medicine since before Trump 1.
