Yesterday I watched a few videos from the doc I linked in a thread below. I really like his videos. He doesn’t scold. He doesn’t accuse. He just lays out the case in a clear way. <\/p>\n
That sort of an approach from our government officials would do way more to eliminate “vaccine hesitancy” than this finger-wagging, “our patience is running out” nonsense. <\/p>\n
Honestly, Biden’s approach is so bad, the devil on my left shoulder is telling me he doesn’t actually want to encourage people to get the vaccine, he wants to use “the unvaccinated” as a wedge issue. <\/p>\n
The extremes on this issue are absurd. <\/p>\n
Some people on the right act as if the virus isn’t serious. No, folks. It’s deadly serious, and it’s killing lots of people. <\/p>\n
Some people on the left act as if the solution is for a small collection of authorized people in white coats to tell all the rest of us what to do, and to ridicule anyone who has questions. <\/p>\n
As I’ve said before, I would like to see a seminar where all the questions and the more prominent conspiracy theories are laid out on the table and examined. Calmly. Without accusations. <\/p>\n
I know a young woman who has fears how the vaccines would affect pregnancy. That’s not a crazy fear, and wagging your finger at her and saying, “what else do we need to do?” is not going to solve it. Neither is some pat answer about a study. We all know there hasn’t been time for that, and you generally can’t do studies on pregnant women. <\/p>\n
I know a young couple who both had Covid, and therefore have natural immunity. They don’t know why a vaccine is going to help them. <\/p>\n
You can’t lump those sorts of fears in with the Bill Gates conspiracy theories and such. The “unvaccinated” are not all the same. <\/p>\n
Let’s have a clear-headed, honest national discussion that treats this issue like a public health emergency it is and not like an opportunity to score partisan points. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
