The J&J/Janssen and AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccines are viral vector-based vaccines that work by means of an inactivated virus that improves the immune systems' natural response to an infection. The alternative Pfizer and Moderna vaccines use an mRNA to activate the recipient's cells into generating a SARS-Cov-2 spike protein, that it is claimed improve the immune system's response to the disease. Vaccine works to improve the body's natural response to a virus.

Opposition to vaccines[edit]

There is a long history of people, especially the clergy, objecting to vaccines. Back in the early 1800s people objected to the smallpox vaccine because a part of a cowpox blister was injected so as to to protect them from smallpox. The criticism was "based on sanitary, religious, and political objections. Some clergy believed that the vaccine went against their religion".^[1]

The Anti-Vaccination Society of America was founded in 1879, to campaign against mandatory smallpox vaccination and "used wording about personal freedoms that might sound familiar today: 'Liberty cannot be given, it must be taken' ".^[2]

The U.S. Supreme Court in 1905, in the Jacobson v. Massachusetts case, “set legal precedent by finding that individual liberty does not supersede actions required for the public good”. ^[3]
