According to local media reported on the 4th, some authoritative medical experts in the United States pointed out that there are still about 70 million vulnerable groups in the United States have not been vaccinated against COVID-19, so urge more Americans to actively vaccinate.

Many American doctors have also found that almost all the patients infected with novel coronavirus at the peak of the epidemic in the United States have not been vaccinated, and their reasons for refusing to be vaccinated are also startling. A doctor said in an interview that a patient told him that "there is a chip in the vaccine."

Carl Lambert, a doctor at Rush University Medical Center in Illinois:The false news I hear is that there are chips in the vaccine that can control people's DNA and get into people's genomes, but that's scientifically impossible, it's impossible.

Some doctors said that they were tired and chilled by the anti-intellectual remarks made by patients who refused to be vaccinated, and they did not expect that they, who had been working hard in the front line to fight the epidemic, would be questioned for supporting vaccination.

Stu Coffman, a doctor at the Texas Emergency Center: a year ago, we were praised as health care heroes, but now, sometimes, when we want to encourage vaccination, we are annoying, untrusted, even ridiculed. It's so frustrating. I want people who don't believe in vaccines or find excuses not to be vaccinated to go to the intensive care unit with me for a day and walk through beds without vaccination! No vaccination! No vaccination!

Health care workers say they are tired of dealing with all kinds of false news, and many people refuse to be vaccinated on the grounds that the ingredients of the vaccine are unknown or that the vaccine is developed too quickly.

Vincent, a doctor in Louisiana, believes that this is all because Americans have too much faith in false news on social media, and he calls on people to "stop reading Facebook."Take a look at the list of ingredients on the vaccine bottle.

Anti-intellectual speech is boosted by political forces

In addition, some doctors said that the anti-intellectual remarks of some patients were driven by political forces. Ryan, a doctor in Kentucky, said that false news spread by some American politicians led to patients' fear of the vaccine. they think that the vaccine contains some kind of "deadly toxin" and even believe that "veterinary drugs" are more effective than vaccines.

In fact, there have been serious divisions in American society over vaccination, wearing masks and other epidemic prevention measures. Earlier, some Republican congressmen have posted comments on social media platforms that "vaccination and wearing masks do not help epidemic prevention."

Gottlieb, a former director of the US Food and Drug Administration, also said in an interview on the 3rd that the politicization of the epidemic had a negative impact on the United States' response to the epidemic. He warned that if this situation continues, the COVID-19 vaccination rate in the United States will decline further.

Gottlieb, former director of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration: I'm worried about our situation. In fact, vaccination has become a way to divide us culturally and politically. This will have a more far-reaching impact than the epidemic itself, and this development worries me, and we are going to see a further decline in vaccination rates.
