    The incessant media/social media focus on the stories of the few highly-determined "anti-photogenic" individuals—the ones that confirm all the caricatures—is obscuring the many who might get vaccinated with the right push, mandate or loss of options. *That* should be our focus.https://twitter.com/juliettekayyem/status/1425106831010062347 …

    Maybe, just maybe, a lot of the unvaccinated aren't as interesting as we think they are and just need a nudge, a burden, a denied privilege for their "deeply help beliefs" to show they are not very deep? Maybe "follow the science" as the sole talking point has run its course? https://twitter.com/juliettekayyem/status/1425100657820905487 …

        Twitter has been showing me this story for days, a nurse who won't get vaccinated despite having lost two parents to COVID. Yes, she exists. But if you look broadly, we also see a lot of "afraid of side effects", "doesn't have time off" and "just needs to speak to someone."pic.twitter.com/a8SNIjgLaV

        Substantial numbers of the remaining unvaccinated are minorities and/or working poor. Our healthcare system has never worked well, so here we are. Yes, the Tucker Carlson onslaught is terrible but almost all the elderly—prime target for Fox—are vaccinated! Reality *can* trump.

        Any healthcare person will tell you: this is not a rare issue. I know a few educated people who dragged their feet simply because of needle fear, and also wouldn't admit openly. Anyway, a lot of problems are more boring than we think, but require work. https://twitter.com/awalrusdarkly/status/1425114972485529602 …

        Yeah, it's a thing. We'd get a lot more mileage from trying to work through the less-ideological issues and providing the combination of push (mandates/loss of access) and opportunity (support/time-off/access) than finding yet another person to get mad at.https://twitter.com/zerwekh/status/1425117881935728640 …

        My station decided to stop showing video of "needles in arms" because of the complaints we received from viewers who don't like needles.

        I would like interviews only of the flimsy unvaccinated! Thank you.

        But on the flip side, that crowd should look at the photogenically impaired and say "I'm not like them."

        Economics says we need to look at the marginal case: who is most likely to get vaccinated but hasn't done so yet? Focus on those, then ask the question again in a month.

        Reassurance that they really truly won't get billed + a paid day off to recover from any side effects would get about another 10% of Americans, would be my guess.
