Who needs to be educated, really?

Today I found something on the net that … well … left me speechless.

A person was criticising the way people are encouraged to take the anti-Covid-19 vaccine and among other things he said that it will be hard to change people's attitude to the vaccine without putting an emphasis on education in this regard.

WHAT?!

To me it sounded like this:

If you take a vaccine that was developed in a totally new technology and that was tested for just several months (instead of years) and despite the fact that the producer of the vaccine doesn't take ANY responsibility for possible side effects of the vaccine then you “are educated”, but if don't want to take this vaccine and raise questions about its extremely short time of development and testing, about long-term safety of the new technology and about the lack of responsibility of the producer for possible side effects of the vaccine then you “need to be educated”.

Really? REALLY?!
