The reason people don’t wanna get vaccinated is because within 6 months they saw the virus mutate into something much less deadly and they’re figuring they might as well ride it out. You can’t agree on what Omicron is and then say “yeah but they should’ve been vaccinated” when they were waiting to see if something like this would happen and it did.So much whining and hand wringing to avoid being a nice person. Downside of the vaccine is negligible. Value to older people of having vaccinated younger people has dropped with omicron but it’s not zero. I don’t get why people are doing mental gymnastics just to show how little they care about others.
Edit: previous to omicron it was obviously best for everyone that everyone be vaccinated, so if you aren't vaccinated it's not because of this data. With omicron it may be less critical but if all vaccination does is reduce the period people are contagious it will still reduce the spread. Do you seriously think obese people should die because of their habits or metabolisms? How about old people? Immunocompromised people like cancer patients? If you can read these charts and see your chances of problems are low then why not look at the vaccine risks that are orders of magnitude lower and just get it?
That’s why I’m of the belief you guys are not going to get the last 15-20% of people to vaccinate on their own free will. They feel vindicated on not having gotten the vaccine and I don’t blame em. If they’ve gone this long without doing it they’ll wait it out.
