There may be a (potentially unconscious) desire for people to signal that they are not an “anti-vaxxer”. This term is a very strong cultural pejorative lately. It’s similar to being referred to as a conspiracy theorist and almost as negative as being considered a racist. No idea how much this may be contributing to publicly professed enthusiasm for the vaccine but maybe social signaling in this respect is a component.
