Reply to Researchers find that public health trust was the strongest predictor of positive attitudes towards COVID-19 vaccination. Information literacy, science literacy, and religiosity affected attitudes to a lesser degree. by glawgii
Seems logical. My country had really bad vaccination numbers, also most people don’t trust the government or the state as a whole due to corruption, etc. And our national health service is part of the state.
When an entity you don’t trust is telling you to do something you are not familiar with you’d probably not do it.
Not to mention the message in the beginning of the pandemic were terrible. We had the prime minister come out and say to not buy masks and stock up, because they didn’t work. Then a couple of months later he backtracked and said we should all wait masks, they just lied so people wouldn’t panic and buy out all the masks and create a shortage for healthcare workers.
Which is fair, but it sure as hell won’t increase the trust in you.
And then you had many mixed messages from the WHO too.

Mine doesn't howl, but she is by no means an ancient breed, rather a mutt with a dash of terrier. She has however disgraced all her wolf ancestors by being catified by our cats.
