Undertheorized: Vaccine hesitancy is tied to *Democrats* like Cuomo, Newsom & Lightfoot impatiently sending workers back to work w/o vax—even as the bodies stack up fast than ever.
"If vax work," skeptics think, "why aren't we waiting a lil' longer for workers to get them?"
"If vax work," skeptics think, "why aren't we waiting a lil' longer for workers to get them?"
It's hard to build trust w the public w a new vax when the most famous leaders of the "we believe in science" DNC are ordering ppl dangerously back to work (w COVID rates FAR surpassing when the lockdowns began!) & pretending waiters, teachers & cooks don't need this vaccine
If workers smell bullshit when the "party of science" disregards science & opens up their state w COVID rates higher than when they once locked them down—& don't waiting for this vax to be distributed 1st—ppl are going to be skeptical when same leader says, "The vax is safe!"
(Just to be clear: these vaccines work, v well. Still, I'm skeptical abt who is getting them & in what order. Also trying to understand why mistrust is so high. The GOP is a lost cause, entirely, so I don't bother w them; I'm trying to understand what Dems aren't/could be doing.)
I've been struggling to understand vax hesitancy for awhile. Still, can't divorce ppl's beliefs entirely from a history—& present—of expecting individual compliance w science in face of govt ignoring same scientific principals to appease business https://twitter.com/thrasherxy/status/1351173551404036096
