      Really good nuanced thinking through on the range of vaccine hesitancy & the need for empathetic engagement to win over the fence-sitters.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1448992640343674881 …

      72% of the unvaccinated said they'd quit after a mandate. In real life, few do. Studies show older people are vulnerable to misinformation and Fox News, and yet almost all are vaccinated. What explains this? My piece of the sociology of the unvaccinated. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/15/opinion/covid-vaccines-unvaccinated.html … pic.twitter.com/wG8ML6oXYZ

      Some vaccine hesitant are ideological motivated and impossible to sway, but many aren't. Unfortunately, partisan environment has meant the ideological get most attention when they are the least persuadablehttps://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1448992640343674881 …

      "Listen to the science" people should listen to the social science on persuasion. And also consider the problems of scoring ideological points when a more empathetic & nuanced approach actually gets better results.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1448992640343674881 …

          Hard to have empathy when the group in question has a lot of people that would consider either of us as equal to them. Hell, they may say we're less than human. Tired of being told "have to be the bigger person" to people that hate modern society in general and minorities.

          That's only one part of the vaccine hesitant. a bigger part is just poor people shut out of the medical system.

          I'm puzzled by the number of positive mentions on the article, which I thought was poor. The remaining unvax'd are more than 5x more likely to be Rs than Ds. Vaccinations among minorities have largely caught up to whites. It's clear that not getting vaccinated is ideolagically

          driven and that many of those who don't get vaccinated don't really or at least don't fully believe the dangers of the vaccines they cite as their reasons. Of course if you search the cross-tabs you'll find anomalies, e.g. black women who wear masks but aren't vaccinated,

          It’s my understanding that the current conventional wisdom of social science on persuasion is that making any attempt to persuade anybody be of anything is counterproductive and persuasion is impossible. Is that about right?
