However, the fact that the expectation rate of postponing vaccination in public opinion polls reaches 45% also means that there is not much vague anxiety about the vaccine. Not only must we be wary of vaccine-related fake news, but we must refrain from saying and acting on vaccine anxiety by insisting that politicians “vaccinate the president first.”
