Well, what can you really say? That is a grown man who wrote that.

Not sure this dude represents the majority of vaccine hesitancy.

I guess is a good piece to read and feel good about yourself, I suppose.

Is this satire, or no? It's been so hard to tell for the past decade or so. Either way, conservative act like children because there's plenty who are really like this.

"I'm not going to take the vaccine that my lord and savior Trump ensured would be available so that we don't have to mask anymore because in theory, I'm owning the libs."

I wonder if it would change his mind to know that he isn't pissing people off, he's a punch line.

"Vaccine hesitant" seems like a bad term for the group that is "definitely not" going to take the vaccine

Eh, hesitancy lies on a continuum.

Just saying we would be doing ourselves a disservice by basking for too long in the glory of the stupidity of the blog piece, given how the media is actively stoking flames of worry about the vaccines for clicks and views.

If you say so. I totally disagree. I don't see any evidence that the media has negatively impacted the rate of vaccination - if anything pulling j and j seems to have increased pubic trust - and most of the "wait and see" group will do just that.

But I do know 30% of Republicans just don't plan to get it at all.

I mean, I suppose we'll wait on the science to come out on that. But just anecdotally online, I've seen headlines being blasted through social media abusing the laws of large numbers, framed in a way to deliberately instill fear. Perhaps that's helped the people on the fence decide to get vaccinated, but I doubt it!

There are just a large number of ways in which we could boost public perception, though they run counter to the goals of most news agencies. But I just don't think "they're cutting off their noses to spite their faces" is really a productive conclusion, nor do I think it's likely to be highly supported, but that's just my own expectation.

You know, going from this guys logic, if he's afraid of the blood clots, getting covid has a much higher chance of messing you up. Also I wish people like this would get it instead of other people who actually want to stay alive.

I'm not even sure what you're trying to say with that second paragraph.

As for the first, not to be rude, but i don't really care what your intuition says! If you check out the KFF dashboard on vaccines, you can see that the "wait and see group" has steadily been dropping as people get vaccinated, which is exactly as you'd expect. The number of people who say they won't get it or will only get it if it's required has been more much durable. It may be true the media could do a better job, but the decline in hesitancy among the group that are actually hesitant, and the big disparities between groups (the biggest one, at I noted, being registered republicans) hardly point to the media being a bigger problem than hyperpartisan thinking like in the op

I mean, that has nothing to do with whether or not the media has an impact...

Oh, the issue is hyper-partisan, but do you really expect the large majority of no-go's are people who are literally saying "doing dis to make liberals mad"?

I expect media consumption and amplifications of worries of vaccine safety and personal liberty will present itself in the same hyperpartisan way...

Most people I know who aren't getting it are afraid of the side effects. They're people who aren't political at all.

While I agree with this sentiment, the virus is killing a fuckton more people than the vaccines are. What do you propose we do about it? And if your answer is "make better vaccines", well of course but they don't just appear out of thin air.

Conservatives do take a twisted sort of pride in being ignorant.
