BAGHDAD War-scarred Iraq is seeing thousands of new COVID cases a day but few people wear face masks and even fewer are vaccinated, sparking fears of an epidemiological catastrophe .
Healthcare workers say they are battling not just the pandemic but also a widespread scepticism over vaccines, borne of misinformation and public mistrust in the state. I don t like the vaccine or the mask, said Nehad Sabbah, 36, speaking on a Baghdad street and reflecting a widely held view. I m not afraid of getting sick.
