    The culture war framework on vaccine hesitancy has been terrible because it clouded over a crucial distinction between the small minority who are ideologically anti-vax & the people who would vax if it were made easier. Second group needs to be focus of policy too.https://twitter.com/abhabhattarai/status/1441024812986601472 …

        They can't get to any area with a pharmacy?? How do they shop for groceries, or literally ANYTHING else that involves going somewhere and buying something.

        CVS and Walgreens are ubiquitous. At this point it’s a bad excuse. At the start, sure, when there were vax centers. Now it’s everywhere.

        We're doing reasonably well here in BC, but we're still chasing the remaining unvaccinated. Our provincial minister of health @adriandix announces several drop-in vaccine clinics every day, presumably based on areas known to have relatively low vaccination rates.

        How much easier can it be aside from literally going to people’s homes? You can quite literally walk into any CVS or Walgreens and get it instantly. I smell BS here.

        In civilized parts of the country they*are* "literally going to people's homes" on request. And that's good, and more places should do it, and for all sorts of health services not just this vaccine. But a lack of it is not the reason most of these people aren't vaccinated.

        Jeet, these people are *lying*. Maybe they're lying in part to themselves, but they're lying. You can get the vaccine at drug stores. At health clinics. At civic events. Many places have vans, do pop up booths in neighborhoods. Some will send it to your door on request.

        These are the same people who are waiting until they've heard more. They just want to be sure, they've heard it makes your head spin like a top and you explode, or whatever. Sure, do more to make it easy. But they're lying.

        By August 10 in NY city, 28% of 18-44 black, 48% latino and 52% white were vaccinated. It must be very hard to get vac in NY city.https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/12/nyregion/covid-vaccine-black-young-new-yorkers.html …

        None of these people are unable to for the last 3 Mos go to a grocery store, Walmart, CVS etc. they have ALL gone to at least 1 of those places at least 1x. It takes 15 minutes to receive the vaccine. This is a bull shit response that they are giving bc they are embarrassed.
