    This is why I'm wary of the discourse that makes vaccine hesitancy simply a matter of ideological brainwashing and bad individual decisions. Those things exist but there's are social factors at work which need to be attacked.https://twitter.com/nataliesurely/status/1421065914057908227 …

    Just realized that uninsured people have very lowest vax rate of any adult demographic, per @KHNews. Lines up w/ other reporting suggesting U.S. healthcare system is hampering vax efforts: ~1/3 unvaccinated cite "fear of cost" as reason, and many don't believe it's free pic.twitter.com/K0pzsrJboN

        When I lived in the U.S. I had pretty good insurance and was still terrified to use it.

        The thing about the American insurance industry is it’s impossible to know if insurance if good until you submit an important claim.

        not even to mention the number of non-white folks who have very justifiable and historically-grounded reasons for distrusting medicine. there's definitely some Q brainwashing and antivaxxer bullshit, but can't paid with a single brush

        People dont believe its free because of the irresponsible reporting early on showcasing people who received bills. The titles and summaries of articles, as news does, focused on the cost and shock - and for many ppl, they dont read past that point

        Same. Vaccine hesitancy is more nuanced and more structural than it’s been made out to be

        A mandate would still be quicker, cheaper, and more effective than trying to come up with a new marketing push to convince people that the free vaccines are indeed free.

        People will believe it’s free when they’ve gotten the jab and don’t receive a bill.

        CVS for example asks for insurance information when signing up for appointments. Fair to assume you that you will be billed.

        Theory: Low vax lines up with states that haven’t expanded Medicaid under the ACA so this states have poor access for a larger uninsured population
