Sorry BB... In general, many people ARE stupid. Some are just mislead but quite a few are genuinely stupid.

Probably true for those that are unable to accept they are wrong, no matter how much evidence is presented to them, but fortunately they are a tiny minority, the rest of the people respond much better to actual scientific information being more easily accesible to them than fake conspiracies and lies promoted by antivaxxer groups hoping to make people end up as mistaken as them.

Yes, while others are skeptical of the safety and effectiveness of these vaccines.
Vaccine hesitancy, especially with these vaccines, is a good thing. People should hesitate and think carefully whether they should get the vaccine. It might be beneficial for some, but everyone. With the current censorship, most people only learn about the pros and are not in a position to give a proper informed consent.

Being skeptical is one thing, but just rejecting their safety and efficacy even when huge amounts of reliable evidence are presented is a completely different thing.
Being irrational to the point that no evidence ever would change your opinion is never a good thing, specially if this comes with presenting false information to mislead and manipulate others into making the same mistake. Censorship of false information is a very good thing, because nobody benefits from believing false things, specially when this puts people at unnecessary risk.
