It will be interesting if events and institutions start requiring people to have been vaccinated in order to attend. It will not only encourage good behavior, but will also act as an IQ filter.

I think there's a big leap from "the medical system doesn't take my pain as seriously as someone else's" to "I will refuse a free vaccine."

Not such a big leap from the Tuskegee Study, though

Surely it's a bit of both. I feel that I’ve been badly mistreated by the medical system, and have a lot of mistrust of it, but I am still in favor of vaccines. I don’t think you can deny that if these people had good knowledge/understanding of vaccines they’d want them.

If someone doesn't trust the medical system, the best way to minimize contact with it is to get vaccinated.

unless you think that the vaccine will hurt you, because everything else about the system has

As an empirical matter, I remember looking into vaccine hesitancy in the past and didn't think there was a particularly large (anti-)correlation with IQ, if anything it's more common for staunch anti-vaccination ppl to be highly educated:https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15231927/

Yeah total refusal seems to be an extreme variant of the Upper Normie Cognitive Stylehttps://twitter.com/MWStory/status/1335758267595681793?s=19 …

+1. In India our regime has combined real vaccine (AZ-Oxford) with an still-in-Ph-2 candidate (Covaxin) and said they won't give us choice or even inform what we are shot with. In such a scenario, if you're otherwise healthy, it's wise to avoid vaccine until more clarity emerges

While there are certainly historical examples of bias and cruel disregard for patients, I'm curious what kind of experiences you're thinking about over the last, say, 20y that could discourage a reasonable person from taking the vaccine today?
