    Jeet Heer Retweeted Maria Chong

    Good thread. Again: the however frustrating vaccine hesitant people are, the goal is jabs in the arms. Performative outrage stands in the way of that.https://twitter.com/mariachong/status/1416509442145673217 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    Maria Chong @mariachong
    Vaccine hesitant people can be in single or multiple overlapping categories. 1) Anxious/afraid of vaccines in general 2) Political 3) Late adopters 4) Suspicious of authority (govt./“big pharma”) 5) Social/peer conformity 6) Hippie wellness 7) Religious/end times 8) Militant

        Disapproving of slow learners is bad pedagogy. Good pedagogues keep looking for new ways to teach the lesson so it sinks in.

        Punishment may not be a good approach, but inconvenience may be. It should be as easy as possible to get the shots, and it should be a pain in the ass to not get them.

        A record number of French citizens — 926,000 — booked their vaccine shots early this week, after the president announced that people will have to show a "health pass" to visit cafes, bars or shopping centers. https://trib.al/MhQJszR

        People are not rational actors and it’s hard to get large groups of heterogeneous people to behave the way you want them to. So, if everyone who’s angry about continued vaccine hesitancy could please bite their tongue until we get things sorted, that would be great, thanks!

        Yup. It might not be as gratifying as calling a large swath of people we don’t know stupid, but it will save a lot of lives. Not everyone is persuadable, but some are.https://twitter.com/RheaBoydMD/status/1416397105678061576?s=20 …

        Last week I spoke to over 5000 people in rural Georgia. Most were not vaccinated because they still had questions. EVERY question they asked was legitimate and important. Stop telling people to “just get vaccinated” if you aren’t willing to put in the work to help them do it.

        If it were possible to persuade these people it would have happened by now; the only ones left are the most extreme. At this point, the resistance is what's performative.
