Bedford feels even more uncomfortable than the country as a whole.
Nationally 60% said they would be uncomfortable taking the vaccine before the election if it has not been fully tested. Trust in the safety of the vaccine is a huge issue for the pharmaceutical industry, so much so, that the chief executives of nine drug companies publicly pledged to “make the safety and well-being of vaccinated individuals the top priority in the development of the first COVID-19 vaccines.”
They also pledged not to seek approval from the FDA until safety and efficacy have been established in their phase 3 trials.
