When Pfizer and Moderna vaccines get full FDA approval will more people be willing to get vaccinated?

Asked by JLeslie (65433points) July 4th, 2021 from iPhone

Some loud voices on social media say they won’t get a vaccination, because the vaccines are only in emergency approval status and people are taking an experimental vaccine. Both Pfizer and Moderna have submitted to the FDA for full approval, and everything indicates they will get approved.

What happens when they are fully approved? Will the people who have been hesitant because of the approval step up and take the shot?

The other two objections are not knowing long term side effects or worrying about fertility being affected. We are well past a year since the first people started getting vaccinated in the trials and women have already started to become pregnant. Soon the babies will be born and assuming the babies are healthy, then do these very cautious reluctant people finally feel comfortable enough to get vaccinated?

If you are one of the people waiting I’m curious what you will do. If you know people who are specifically reluctant for these reasons, are they saying they will get vaccinated once these hurdles are overcome.
