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 …

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 …

Given the age breakdown of Covid illness/death, I don't think 85% counts as "almost all." And the fact that in many red states 20% or more of senior citizens remain unvaxxed is a sign of how deep-seated vax resistance is.
-
western Europe has 95-98% of elderly vaccinated; even with 85% of seniors vaccinated, bulk of deaths in the future will be unvaxed seniors

I think of this comparison a lot. The older/richer/white/redder district had super high vax rate; whereas the nearby diverse/middle and working class/younger/swing district had a very low vax rate.pic.twitter.com/ocAQEkRUN6

I'll second this tweet
: there are so many people who would get vaccinated if people would reach out to them - a good friend of mine does just that in Cape May County, NJ and even though the work is slow she gets shots in armsThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

More than 25% of US adults have no primary care provider. ~70k ppl die every year due to lack of access to healthcare in our private, revenue-driven system. Lack of trust now cannot be separated from these systematic failures to build caring relationships & trust over years.

This has been the big thing for me - age groups, more than partisanship, seem to predict vax rates around here.

“Substantial numbers of the remaining unvaccinated are minorities and/or working poor.” Help me understand this without simplistic tropes, please.

Where did the blanket assumption come from that you'll be sick enough to need time off? I know one person who felt like they had the flu out of hundreds of friends, family, coworkers. To not get the vax because you *might* feel lousy for a day seems like another messaging fail.
-
The fear of *maybe* having to take time off from work comes from the abysmal [lack of] sick leave policies more than messaging. If the possibility of side effects weren’t stated, that would be wrong (& pounded on by the RW media).
