• don't see why we should accommodate the opinions of anyone who is suggesting that a choice that could affect the existence of thousands of people is in fact, a choice.

    If you don't attempt to understand why people don't want the vaccine then you won't be able to talk them into having it. I suspect the vaccine hesitant are mostly people who don't understand the situation rather than people who are making a choice to harm other people.

  • i honestly don't care. you and i and everyone else has access to the same information - at this point, i can't accept that the choice to not get it (presuming you can) is motivated by anything other than straight up contrarianism - especially anyone "on here".

  • you and i and everyone else has access to the same information

    This is simply not true. You and I have the intelligence, curiosity and education to seek out information. Not everybody has that. There are nearly three million people in the UK who have not used the internet in the last 3 months according to the ONS...where are they getting their information from? The Daily mail? Uncle Bob?

    at this point, i can't accept that the choice to not get it (presuming you can) is motivated by anything other than straight up contrarianism.

    Honestly, it just sounds like you're in one hell of a bubble and overestimate the capabilities and access to information that a lot of people have. Sure, there are the covid denier cunts and conspiracy theorists who are contrarian...fuck them sky high. Thats not everybody who isn't having a vaccine though.

  • I think you massively overestimate peoples time to access all the information , synthesize and cross reference and be generally engaged, especially when they can listen to MP's, scientists and medical professionals online and on radio, people in a position of authority saying that we should have the economy open, it's just flu, everyone is already protected who needs protecting etc., it only impacts the old and those with existing health conditions etc.
