 +How to talk to vaccine-hesitant friends and family about getting the shot
 +
 +Washington Post By Derek Hawkins  August 17, 2021 
 +
 +The **vaccines are proven safe** and are more widely available than ever, but countless Americans still find themselves in the same position as Giese, struggling to convince vaccine-hesitant loved ones of the importance of getting immunized. They feel like they’ve done everything in their power to protect themselves and their communities during the pandemic, only to see the virus resurge and vaccine resistance harden.
 +
 +A July Washington Post-ABC News poll found that 29 percent of Americans said they are unlikely to get vaccinated, up from 24 percent in April. Millions of people are still avoiding the shots or rejecting them outright, offering more pathways for the spread of the highly transmissible variant.
 +
 +But experts say there’s still plenty of room to reach friends and family who have held out on getting vaccinated — it just might take closer listening, a refined message and more patience.
 +
 +Tailor your message
 +
 +Behavioral scientists, psychologists and marketing specialists who study vaccine uptake tend to divide the hesitant into a few general groups, all with a degree of overlap. One group is the apathetic, those who view the shots as an inconvenience or unnecessary given their circumstances. Another includes people who are skeptical of the medical science behind the shots or wary of their safety. A third is made up of people who refuse the shots for political or ideological reasons.

 +
 +This will the the first of two stubstack articles that I will be sending out today regarding the NYT article recently authored by [[:Davey Alba]]. Ms. Alba, previously from Buzz Feed News, apparently has left the New York Times to work for Bloomberg, but previously the NYT described her desk and portfolio as “technology reporter covering disinformation and all of its tentacles”.

 +This is the issue, these people are all cut from the same cloth, venomous, invective, poisonous, petty, they live miserable ‘little’ lives, sorry lives, DC lives, its all they know, I met several in DC. All they do is hurt good people yet get their rocks off on that.
 +
 +I wish Ms. Alba well in life and hope one day she can write honestly and not allow her hatreds and venom and politics blind her. She must be a great person, likely exceptional. Just lost. Wandering in the wilderness of Trump hatred and likely anger having fallen for the shots. Bought into the COVID lies. She knows she was lied to and may have long term health problems…they all do. I have some in my own families. I hurt for them for the anguish is now cutting.((https://web.archive.org/web/20220408030746/https://palexander.substack.com/p/dr-robert-malone-let-nyt-reporter?s=r))
