      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 …

          Are these the same healthcare people we keep hearing about who refuse to get vaccinated themselves or?

          We should not underestimate the numbers of people who are just scared (of needles, docs, etc.) and of people who just aren't that well informed. With a little help ...

          My teenage son has a huge needle fear. It took months of working with him, gently, a sedative, and a lot of love and patience to get the first dose in him. And he desperately wanted the vaccine in April. Oral/nasal options coming soon?

          I was just chatting away when I got my shot, and didn't realize I had actually gotten it. If it wasn't for the sore arm I got the next day I'd still be wondering if I had really gotten it.
