Why are so many people in different walks of life like hospital nurses, airline pilots and various sports figures refusing to take the vaccine? Many of these are highly educated. Makes one wonder. [/QUOTE]I don't think it is a mystery at all. The internet's led to a huge proliferation of conspiracy theories that have found worked their way into all walks of American life. And unfortunately we've learned that there are an awful lot of Americans -- educated and non -- who lack the reasoning skills to sift through the sheer amount of information available and separate nonsense from fact.
That there are a lot of people refusing this vaccine's the least surprising development of the entire Covid ordeal. Anybody paying attention over the last decade could have predicted it.
Is all the virtue here just on one side?
What virtue and what sides? Why, exactly, is the efficacy of this vaccine a political issue?
What about all the breakthrough cases? Just how good are these vaccines?
The available evidence all suggests that the vaccines are phenomenally effective. I get you're "just asking questions" but in what way is asking questions with obvious answers helpful? Why not try and answer your own questions?
I have a friend who won't take the vaccine because it was developed under the Trump administration.
Your friend is an idiot.
Did you know that in recent weeks cases and deaths in most southern states have dropped rather dramatically, and these are the states with the lowest vaccination rates. Why the heck is this?
Were you surprised every time Lucy didn't let Charlie Brown kick the football? We've been seeing ebbs and flows in case rates consistently for two years now. We have a solution to this problem. It's the vaccine. That people are trying so hard to find a reason not to get vaccinated is truly baffling to me.

I don't have answers, but I do have a lot of questions. I just don't understanding firing someone over this issue.
