I blame rampant corruption, self dealing, and identity politics. Americans have massive distrust in their leadership for very good reasons. That trust is really important for these exact situations. We all know all of our politicians are dishonest fuckheads - why believe them about COVID or vaccines?
I am pro vaccine and I am vaccinated - just explaining that I understand people's reluctance to believe anything they hear.
- cft 5y agoI am vaccinated too, since January. HN is no longer able to understand nuance, thus we are both downvoted. I remember the HN of founders in 2010. Now it's HN of employees. Very different forum.
- tzs 5y agoThere was no nuance in "Big pharma in action".
- tonfreed 5y agoNot just that, the southern states were flooded with OxyContin and had the opioid epidemic as a result of flagrant big pharma abuse. It's entirely understandable that they've burnt all goodwill there
- the_only_law 5y agoI’d be inclined to agree if it was actually people distrusting leadership in general, but too many instead the opposition one side while gobbling up whatever their team is spewing without question.
