personally I do think people who decline it are dumb or ignorant, but I reserve the term "dumbass" for extreme cases, such as that specific tweet which was in response to the combination of medical exemption AND vocal anti-vaxer

but this is also because the venn diagram of people who dont want the vax and the people who refused to wear a mask or thought masks were harmful is nearly a circle as well. that position does not seem to come in a vacuum on its own, based on people I know

so if theres a mythical person who did the research and came to the conclusion that they might want to wait for more data before getting the shot, and also take all the other precautions like mask wearing and avoiding crowds while waiting, then I wouldn't call that person dumb

but I'm pretty sure that person doesn't exist

I guarantee you that person exists - they are just very scientific people, and obviously rare, as you might expect.

Well, I would argue the same about people who really understood the vaccine before taking it, and the possible long-term epidemiological outcomes, too :)

we have a very useful shortcut for that called "listen to the experts" though

That sentiment I do object to. Saying "listen to the experts" presumes the person knows who is an expert, which is precisely the thing in question here. I point again to examples, such as "eat mostly carbohydrates" situation.

that's why I called it a shortcut, in the absence of doing your own rigorous research, you should just listen to expert consensus.

A shortcut to the wrong answer is not useful.
