I think we also have to be realistic about the fact that there are lot of people out there who genuinely do not understand the goals of the vaccines and how it helps others. I've met people who do not even understand what a vaccine is supposed to do. Not everybody understands the world around them as well as this predominantly white middle class echo chamber and I think its wrong to assume that those who have different views to us are knowingly selfish.
I've even met people recently who didn't know that Covid affects older people more than younger people. Some people do not read and are not inquisitive or have untrained logical processes. They rely on their friendship groups for their knowledge. Empathy itself is a form of emotional intelligence that many people simply do not possess.
