How To Persuade The "Vaccine Hesitant" To Take the Jab
How To Persuade The "Vaccine Hesitant" To Take the Jab
I know many of you are frustrated there are people who still won’t take the covid injections. The problem is you’re going about it the wrong way. Below I list steps you can take that will result in universal uptake:
Stop Calling Them “Vaccine Hesitant”
If you were trying to persuade a vegan to up his B-12 intake by eating meat, you wouldn’t get far by labeling him “steak hesitant.” “Oh, I see, you’re just ‘steak hesitant’ must be that hippie propaganda you’re reading. Steak hesitant people like you…” Insulting people’s choices won’t get you anywhere. Try, “I see you don’t like being coerced to take medicine via threats to your basic rights and ability to earn a livelihood, that’s understandable. Let me persuade you why getting an mRNA jab is a good medical choice.” And then you’ll have to make your case, which, at the moment is not especially strong (particularly with respect to healthy, younger people, many of whom have already had covid), but that brings us to…
Lobby For More Aggressive Gain Of Function Research
Frankly, the Wuhan Lab didn’t do its best work. Covid is deadly for people with pre-existing conditions, metabolic disorders and the elderly, but it’s insufficiently so to kill many healthy people under 70. The overall IFR is about 0.2 percent, with the vast majority of that group either old or sick. To incentivize independent-minded younger people the next lab leak needs to be a far more lethal strain. If we can get one as contagious as covid, but with an equal opportunity IFR above 15 percent, now we’re cooking with gas. When your 30-year old cousin, both your parents, several of your work colleagues, Kyrie Irving, Aaron Rodgers, Novak Djokovic, 25 members of Congress and a few cabinet members are dead, that will get their attention.
Commission Vaccines From New Companies
While many who decline the mRNA shot are no doubt victims of disinformation — believing theories that government and large pharmaceutical companies are conspiring to enrich themselves first and foremost without proper regard for safety — it would be harder for them to connect those dots if you used more scrupulous providers. For example, it’s less than ideal that Johnson and Johnson just paid a settlement of five billion dollars for their part in the opioid crisis and Pfizer settled for 2.3 billion for marketing a drug as a pain killer that even the rubber-stamping FDA refused to approve for that purpose, while allegedly paying kickbacks to doctors to prescribe it. It was apparently the fourth settlement for Pfizer since 2002, and that excludes the experimental drug anti-meningitis drug, Trovan that killed 11 children and disabled dozens more in 1996. It’s insane to think that means anything about these miracle products in 2022, the motive for which was so obviously public health and ending the pandemic, but you have to admit it’s not a great look.
Keep Vaccine Companies On The Hook For Adverse Events
There was never a need to waive liability for vaccine makers for adverse effects because everyone knows the mRNA shot is safe and effective. Yes, you hear anecdotal accounts of heart problems and strokes, but both have always been common in young people. Growing up, a few of my friends undoubtedly had heart attacks and strokes in grade school, though they were probably just under-diagnosed back then. I understand why the companies want to waive liability — it’s wrong to require legal accountability when these heroes are busy saving so many lives, but there’s no need for it when you have such a safe product. It just feeds unfounded suspicion.
Create A Vaccine That Stops The Spread
Obviously, we know vaccines don’t have to stop the spread entirely to be effective. Look up the definition of vaccine — nowhere does it list that as a requirement. But if it actually stopped transmission in some material way, you’d be in a better position to argue for its uptake, citing the benefit it might have for the people around them. Now, people are just trying the “you’re taking up an ICU bed” angle, which doesn’t make much sense to young, healthy people, barring a far deadlier strain.
Permit Useless Early Treatments
One big mistake that was made was banning and discouraging phony, yet harmless treatments like Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine and even Vitamin D. All that did was make people think they worked, and feed false conspiracy theories that they were funneling people toward the vaccine. Useless treatments should be encouraged so anyone who knows people who tried them can see how little good they did.
Don’t Bribe People
I love donuts as much as the next person with metabolic syndrome, but giving people food, money and even weed just makes you look desperate. If you want to make something seem enticing, you’ve got to market it as something I’m lucky to get, not something you’re begging me to take.
Choose Better Spokespeople
I know Bill Gates is one of the biggest investors in the space, but is it really necessary to have someone, who was paling around with convicted underage sex offender Jeffery Epstein, as your go-to vaccine promoter?
Amend The US Constitution And Nuremberg Code
It’s annoying we have these anachronistic documents that didn’t contemplate the spread of a deadly pandemic, but unfortunately, The Fourth Amendment requiring people to be secure in their “persons,” and the Nuremberg Code which requires consent for medical procedures are still The Supreme Law Of The Land, and International Law, respectively. A little carve-out saying, “unless there’s a deadly pandemic” would go a long way toward granting the requisite legal authority.
Stiffer Consequences For Those Who Refuse
Let’s be honest. There’s nothing more important than public health, and getting everyone vaccinated is the optimal way to achieve that aim. It’s unfortunate it would have to come to this, but we can’t let the selfish actions of a few imperil the good of the many who do as instructed. Actions have consequences! If the first nine steps are ineffective, you could imprison, torture or simply exterminate those who decline this medical option, something for which there is historical precedent in the last century.
I can assure you these 10 steps will result in 100 percent uptake. Hopefully it doesn’t come to step 10, but you have to ask yourself, do you care about preserving the rights of the privileged few, or are you willing to do what it takes for public health and the greater good of society?
I hope the answer is as clear for you as it is for me.
