Vaccination myths in check
These arguments also convince vaccination skeptics
Vaccination myths in the check: Those who are well informed are not so badly taken for wrong information.
Although the corona pandemic is breaking new and sad records, many people are still not vaccinated against the virus. In the RTL video, an immunologist examines the most common reasons why people still doubt the vaccination.
We can all protect ourselves against the coronavirus with a simple vaccination, and thus potentially against unpleasant long-term consequences or even death from Covid-19. However, almost two years after the pandemic began, some people are still reluctant to take this step. Not all of them are lateral thinkers who sometimes fell for targeted misinformation on social media – most people simply have a bad feeling about certain points or have unanswered questions in their heads. Often information from their environment also plays a role that has made them insecure.
Vaccination myths in the fact check: pregnancy, breastfeeding, fertility are not affected
The fact is: around 68 percent of Germans are now fully vaccinated against the corona virus. Among the unvaccinated, concerns are often raised about issues such as pregnancy, side effects or the fact that vaccination can also be used to contract the coronavirus. TV broadcaster RTL and Prof. Dr. Reinhold Förster, Head of the Institute for Immunology at the Medical University of Hanover, spoke – in the video he goes into the arguments of vaccine skeptics and explains what nobody really needs to be afraid of.
