      72% of the unvaccinated said they'd quit after a mandate. In real life, few do. Studies show older people are vulnerable to misinformation and Fox News, and yet almost all are vaccinated. What explains this? My piece of the sociology of the unvaccinated. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/15/opinion/covid-vaccines-unvaccinated.html …pic.twitter.com/wG8ML6oXYZ

      I live in Texas, attend church every week and am a conservative. I am vaccinated, but adamantly opposed to mandates. I don’t know a single “Qanon” person. Your paragraph about conservatives that watch Tucker is offensive.

      You think this is sensible? Military mandates *many* other vaccines. "Point of mandatory vaccination is to identify the sincere Christians in the ranks, the free thinkers, the men with high testosterone levels.." (Fox News itself has pretty strict rules).https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/tucker-carlson-military-covid-vaccine-mandate …

      I am not addressing Tucker or Fox. I am saying that paragraph lumps anybody that watches Tucker into some make-believe monolithic group. I have enjoyed your common sense pieces through Covid, but find that writers that don’t know any conservatives tend to paint with a broad brush

      I would say that paragraph is trying to explain why that "dominant image" is misleading, though I will say I think Carlson has no excuse for what he is, deliberately imo, doing.

          Appreciate the reasoned engagement even if we come down differently on that.

          Thank you. I get the differences of opinions for mandates, and I also think the strength of the argument does differ by profession. That said, I think there is a professional class, I bet all vaccinated at earliest opportunity, doing a great disservice because they don't care.
