I wasn't doing that, so it we have no problem here.
Cool
We can if we ask them and listen to what they're saying.
Even if we could, would you hear them and already make your own conclusions if their reasons are similar to others (generalising) or would you give them the benefit of the doubt through active listening?
The problem is that politics has now become injected where it doesn't belong. The problem is that medical information is being "interpreted" through a political lens instead of through the scientific/medical lens it should be viewed through.
This can be problemsome on both sides and hidden behind "it's an emergency" without forethought (as though it were a bomb and instincts supersede thinking things through). Vaccinated people can most definitely interpret perceived danger from a political lens.
Take what I've been repeating from the past couple months about "depending on factors." Of course there is A risk of catching COVID but just because the television and experts says everyone is at A risk does not mean everyone is at the SAME risk.... so I'd assume depending on-location, lifestyle, population, one's own health, family member's health, age-would determine whether one is vaccinated not just "being in an emergency."
It's getting to where that people want to be vaccinated not only because they won't be a time bomb to spread COVID but because they don't want to be "one of them." Can you imagine if they had vaccine season each year and one person says they don't want to get vaccinated again how would their peers feel?
I've still waiting to hear a good reason why someone shouldn't get vaccinated, other than those who can't for specific medical reasons.
Good reason? Whose criteria though?
I feel side affects is a very very very good reason to be skeptical regardless the odds. Usually when people are presented with treatment that works 99% the family will ask "what's the worse that can happen?"
The combination of experimental and side affects (for many people-they probably have other reasons to) are justifiable. Can you imagine if that One person who did what the Jones did took the vaccine for others and died from the vaccine (hoping that CDC and media doesn't suppress it or highlight and exaggerate it as a conspiracy), would their family members say "well, at least he didn't 'potentially' spread COVID, so he went to a better place."
My point is assessing risks and benefits regardless their percentage is a good reason. It really depends on how much people take the risk and others don't. I mean one antivaxxer here made a good point on long-term side affects. But it depends on how much people feel they are a potential carrier. Some more than others.
Yeah, because it's vital that we reach herd immunity and as we've discussed, people are stuck in their political camps when politics has absolutely nothing to do with this in any way.
Governments and medical institutions have to cut through the BS being spread all over social media in order to get proper information out to people.
Persuasion and coercion are two different things. You can persuade a person without needing to give them ultimatums and belittle their decisions if they make opposing choices. Political people persuade all the time especially during election time... it's highly different than if you told you can't go into certain businesses if you voted for the wrong party-which, as a result, means you voted against the health of the economy and must be shunned.
I had a question I asked a couple of times to people is what would they do with unvaccinated people so we won't potentially spread COVID to vaccinated people and those in the middle of being vaccinated?
I mean if we are "that bad" why wouldn't anyone answer that question (generously even if to say kill-them-at-stake/no pun)
Ha. I don't even know based on RF I'd say no. For me if no one told me about it the only way I would have known is by seeing people wearing masks everywhere. Luckily the internet tends to have "good" information but the bad part about it is fussing which information is good and blaming people for not interpreting the information correctly. If it were a laughing matter, I'd probably laugh.
The way to determine if a person is uninformed or not is to talk to them and listen to what they say.
Just as long as we don't paint every unvaccinated person the color red I think we'd be fine, no?
