What bums me out the most is that it doesn't seem like it's even ok to ask why some people don't seem to want it and to figure out if they can be convinced. I'm sure some folks have ideological opposition but it seems like a lot of the discussion is about how they're bad people for not doing what they're told to or supposed to want to. I don't feel like I have ever convinced anyone of anything by arguing to them that they're wrong. Most of the time when you change someone's mind it's by listening deeply and figuring out what they really mean or really want rather than what they're saying. I'm sure I've missed something important but I can't shake the feeling that the vaccine debate is just another battle in the growing war of political polarization.
