Abstract |
One microscopic agent, SARS-CoV-2, a novel single-stranded RNA beta coronavirus caused COVID-19-a novel illness for which humanity was not ready. Although the main challenge was to our immune systems, it also challenged our knowledge of immunology as well as humans' patterns of thinking and decision making in the face of new information and regulations. Although the; antivaccination movement had been gaining popularity since the work of the British ex-physician Andrew Whitfield, the MMR vaccine (measles, mumps, and rubella) had an acceptance rate of 90.8% in 2019 (1). By contrast, as of August 15, 2022, COVID-19 full vaccination rate is still 71.5% for people older than 5 years (2). |
