This document is a letter to the editor of the Medeniyet Medical Journal, responding to a study titled "Factors in Vaccine Refusal by Patients Applying for COVID-19 PCR Test." The authors express gratitude for the criticisms and congratulate the author for their scientific courage. The study aimed to determine the reasons for vaccine refusal among patients who applied for a COVID-19 PCR test but did not receive the vaccine. The study focused on analyzing the answers of participants who refused vaccination and did not compare the benefits of the vaccine or include participants who agreed to be vaccinated. The authors acknowledge the limitations of their study and welcome further criticism and discussion. [Extracted from the article]
