Vaccine Politicization
The government must also remain firm. Anyone who intends to make a vaccine must apply standard research. Do not let a fake vaccine pass, because the consequences are fatal.

Following mainstream media coverage and information on social media, the vaccination drive is, in general, highly appreciated by the public. Services are carried out under strict health protocols and health workers and volunteers are serving with heart and empathy, warm and friendly, with no differentiation based on social status, ethnicity, religion or the like. All are served with prime quality. Quality services are able to spread a sense of brotherhood that can further enhance social cohesion. This is capital that has the potential to build a collective memory that can strengthen feelings as a nation.
However, vaccination as a noble agenda to save mankind is always challenged by the lust for power. The phenomenon of the politicization of vaccination is a long history of fighting the pandemic. Several historians have compiled comparative studies of these phenomena in Europe, South Asia, East Asia, West Africa and the United States in the period from the 19th century to the 21st century.
