That is in the original
. I think the idea is not that there is a large group dismissing the risk but that they contextualize it from a different stand point. For someone working from home and getting things delivered, covid-19 may seem their only risk.https://twitter.com/ScoLatham/status/1476637628552384515 …Thanks.

@zeynep’s points about the US working class are largely true of the UK too - de-industrialization happened in both places.@ScoLatham makes a nice theory, but there’s no way it’s the main reason. A few conversations with people who haven’t taken the vax will show that.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

I hope what we can agree upon is that the unvaccinated have been defined in the media by those who are most vocally so. This is far from a representative group.

Who are the most representative then?

Try.thinking extremes may help, pepple involved in fires may appear to the outside as irrational. However, when viewed from the victims viewpoint they have different information and different priorities due to their circumstances.

You wear a seatbelt purely because you were brought up that way. There's no thought or risk calculation being done. You'd feel vulnerable without it. If it were a novel technology, then you'd evaluate whether you think there's a real benefit there. But it's not so bad example.

Nope. I’ve done research in protests in Gezi, Istanbul and Tahrir, Cairo, Hong Kong etc. I actually do risk calculation a lot in my work! And I have friends with high-risk lives—dissidents but also spelunkers etc. We didn’t grow up wearing seatbelts in Turkey.
