Oh dear. I think I'd already heard that the unvaccinated are claiming that their sperm "will be the next bitcoin".
It is only another lie they tell themselves to conceal the fact that they are just too chicken to get a jab from a needle.I'm not entirely convinced that fear is the primary factor in many of the problem areas in the US. From what I'm seeing, unvaccinated individuals tend to fall within one or more of the following categories:
1) People who have been brainwashed by conservative media to have a strong distrust of anything that the opposing side (the Democratic party) supports.
2) People who have been brainwashed by hyperliberal media to have a strong distrust of authority.
3) People convinced they have divine protection from severe illness. This group also tends to fall within group 1.
4) People who have been brainwashed by alternative health practitioners to believe they have some sort of supreme mastery over their bodies/health.
I'm not saying that the aforementioned people do not have
some underlying fear of vaccination (and its effects), but it honestly appears to be more of an issue of being undereducated (meaning they are more easily swayed by false information, conspiracy theories, etc).
You are being rather partisan, imo.
You do support the progressive side of politics rather heavily, in my brief assessment.
I have heard that there is also a principle involved as a result of the origianl studies/development of the vaccine.
Also, I hope you aren't saying this is a binary situation where all Democrats embrace the vaccines, and all Republicans are anti-vax.
Presumably, not.
The other consideration to, errr, consider, is you can't blindly believe everthing/k the establishment espouses, and that includes both sides of the political divide.
I said, *right from the beginning* that I am waiting until the young, the dumb, and the first line healthcare people "test" the vaccine before I engage, but for one and a half years, Australia was virtually virus-free.
Things changed recently, and I bowled people over getting to the head of the vaccination queue.
