As for the
@michaelbd point about public health officials needing to meet all of these vaccine skeptics where they are: facts may not care about your feelings, but when you're charged with moving public sentiment, the feelings of the public are facts in & of themselves.Show this thread -
Put another way: if you want to convince people to stop being wrong, you have to take account of why they are wrong. That includes both good & bad reasons for being wrong. That's as true if you're selling vaccines as if you're selling cigarettes, life insurance, or Jeb Bush.

This is also true, but also not a complete explanation. Anti-vaxx opinion may be more prevalent further down the social class scale, but it definitely has major pockets at all stages of that scalehttps://twitter.com/fredbauerblog/status/1416070086486597635 …

Where there has been success in breaking down black mistrust of the vaccine, guess which strategy worked: 1) Mocking people for being anti-vaxx 2) Reaching out through people they already trustedhttps://www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/getting-clearer-picture-black-americans-factors-overcame-their-vaccine-hesitancy-n1263787 …

And this is how you know their response to Covid is and has always been entirely political. "It's ok for our voters to be skeptical of vaccines but not yours" gives the game away, without a doubt.
