I think it’s really good to be vaccinated and take precautions against covid and other diseases, but I really don’t think you’re winning anyone over by chiding them.

Maybe I’m too sympathetic but a lot of people are victims of carefully orchestrated disinformation, and not everyone has had the chance to learn and understand the things you know.

I’m not giving up on them yet.

I’ve spent hours talking to people at work, working through their concerns. Some people I couldn’t get through to, but a lot of them were receptive. Just treating them like people, who are often scared and confused, will allow you to open a dialogue - and often they’ll come right out with their concerns.

They’ve probably heard some pretty wild theories, and you can bring them back to earth, and assuage some of their fears.
