Most Common Reasons for Opposing COVID-19 Vaccination

Personal situation
	I don’t feel concerned, because of age or health condition.
	It is a useless vaccine, COVID-19 is not very dangerous.
	Because of my physical condition, my health does not allow vaccination.
	I have been tested negative, I’m not sick, I have been sick and am immunized
Effectiveness
	Lack of knowledge, I prefer to wait longer and to study it over the long term to see if it is really effective and safe.
	I prefer to treat myself in other ways, there are other treatments (hydroxychloroquine). Social distancing and other behavioral measures are sufficient. I am careful. I prefer to develop my own immunity.
	Because of the possibility of a mutation of the virus (so the vaccine would be less effective or not effective at all).
Lack of trust
	Because a vaccine developed in an emergency is potentially dangerous, side effects are unknown, and people can get sick.
	Because of my distrust of the pharmaceutical industry/medical profession, the laboratories are in a logic of profitability.
	Because of a lack of information, divergent opinions, no scientific consensus.
	Because there are secret relationships between the government and the pharmaceutical industry (opinions/conspiracy theories).
	Because of the poor management of vaccines and/or masks by the government (negative opinions/comments regarding the government and its management of the epidemic).
Antivax
	I am against vaccination (in general), I don’t get vaccinated.
	Because vaccines are (possibly) harmful, because of the impact of vaccines on health.
