1. Vaccine Hesitancy: Despite overwhelming evidence supporting the efficacy of vaccines, a significant portion of the population remains skeptical. This skepticism can be fueled by cultural beliefs, misinformation, and distrust in the healthcare system.
2. Resistance to Public Health Measures: Social opposition to measures such as mask mandates and social distancing can be driven by a lack of understanding of their importance or by conflicting messages from leaders and influential figures.
3. Stigmatization: Diseases often carry social stigmas, leading to discrimination and reluctance to seek medical help. This can hinder epidemiological efforts to track and control outbreaks.
