Apoorva Mandavilli added,
How is "demographics" and messaging presented as opposing each other? Do you think the large GOP refusal component has nothing to do with the immense misinformation (which is messaging!) on that side?
my point is not that messaging plays no role. But I am increasingly seeing messaging as solely responsible for vaccine hesitancy
Two things though. I don't think you can keep demographics and messaging separate like that—i.e. it's not messaging, it's demographics. Those things are not separate, opposed dynamics. Solely? Of course not. Agree. But I don't see that claim, so would love to see the examples?
I didn't say they're separate or that it's only demographics. just that demographics seems to play a big role. and no, I don't want to cite examples here, I've had enough trolling for this week
But trying to understand the latter: Demographics is not a dynamic opposed to or outside of messaging. The white/GOP refusal in that chart is very much intertwined messaging dynamics, no?
I'm not seeing high-profile examples of "solely" claims but if I do, I'll go object (and take the trolling, sorry you have been dealing with it, too) so people should free to send me a DM. Anyway, if anyone claims "solely" yeah, we should object. (Reposted because typo!).
