I was going to say that 82% is still way too low, and that vaccines should be as second nature to people as wearing a seat belt when they're in a car; it's so blatantly easy and important that you should do both without any doubt whatsoever.
Then I did a quick google and learned that about 15% of people don't normally wear seat belts.
They pointed out that shaming doesn't work (science proved that) so calling people out for not wearing masks or going to the beach wasn't helpful.
And that all or nothing advice like abstinence or stay home completely doesn't work and that they should have come up with guidance that accommodated people taking some risks
Well, there you run into the fact that the "some risks" are likely too many to flatten the curve. There are times when reality does not bend to petty human concerns.
I think given that actual people have sex despite being taught abstinence, and that actual people went to actual stores without masks (with their whole family half the time), a guidance that lightened up from "stay home or die" to "fine, wear a mask if you go out, and try to keep it brief, infrequent and distant."
dude, I was being hyperbolic. It's pretty obvious.So, here you go. Find and cite an instance of official guidance that said "stay home or die" in the US. Please.
I think the problems with the flu vaccine (trying to hit 5 strains with one bullet, picking the wrong strain, ran out of supply one year) are giving other vaccines a bad rep by association.A Harris poll last June found that 45% of Americans had some degree of "doubt" about vaccines. It's not necessarily full-fledged anti-vaxxery, but it's still a distressingly large amount of pseudo-skepticism nonetheless.
