COVID Vaccine Could End Pandemic but Millions Will Skip It Although the numbers appear to have improved since drugmakers Pfizer and Moderna reported their impressive trial results last month, about 40 percent of Americans tell poll takers they don't plan to get a COVID vaccine. by Todd Ackerman, Houston Chronicle / December 14, 2020 TNS (TNS) - Derrick Broze, a self-described non-vaxxer, harbors no desire to get the COVID-19 vaccine when it becomes widely available.
The Pfizer vaccine, expected to arrive in some Houston-area hospitals Monday, may constitute the world's best hope for ending the coronavirus pandemic that has killed nearly 300,000 Americans, but Broze sees it differently: He doesn't want to be "a science experiment for a vaccine against a virus that has a very high survival rate."
