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 …

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 …

In the "doesn't have time off" category how many are truly truly time constrained. I mean like reconcile that the average American watches like 6+ hours of tv a day and the claim that people dont have time to go to CVS 2 miles away for a 15 minute shot+wait.

Right now, Dad's working 65-hour weeks at the golf course and the local pharmacies all stop giving shots at 5:00.... Back in April, I had to make him actually take time off to drive an hour away to get his shots as a 64-year-old man with lung problems.

My son's pediatrician just sent out an e-mail that they lose 15% of staff after mandating the vaccines.

I suspect though a lot of the “wait and see” and “worried about side effects” ppl got that way because of horrible misinformation from the “never going to get it” crowd. It’s worth point out that the Tuckers of the world have responsibility for the hesitant crowd

Isn’t it possible that publishing and sharing these stories is motivating the hesitant, though?
