I'm Irish and Icelandic and have a VERY strong stubborn streak. The more people tell me I should do something the less likely I am to do it. I generally don't trust pharmaceuticals very much (childhood vaccines and the lack of long-term safety data for these well-established vaccines made me skeptical) and was pregnant during rollout and was taking a wait and see approach (leaning heavily towards absolutely not, especially when I compared the "soooo dangerous" covid hospitalization rate with that of flu (which I also don't take, especially when pregnant). The public heath "moving the goalposts" every couple of weeks and not answering basic questions like "why are we doing this? What's the goal?" Also made me deeply skeptical of everything. Feeling good about my choices now (and convincing my husband to not roll over and take it as the easy way out of work mandates)
