I don't know anyone personally who has been able to convince an anti-vaxxer/vaccine hesitant person to get vaccinated. My friend's unvaccinated sibling died of Covid-19 a few days ago. Sibling wasn't high risk or older. They had argued about it last month. Sibling was consuming conservative media and surrounded by similar folks.
The vaccine didn't work on my Dad. He's on immunosupressive meds so he doesn't reject my kidney. There are hundreds of thousands of American organ recipients just like him. And cancer patients. And HIV+ folks. Etc. He got the newly approved 3rd dose within 24hrs of it being approved. We're hoping he has some antibody response to it.
I understand the death shaming, at least when it comes to people who were actively spreading misinformation. As an example, the conservative radio host who dubbed himself "Mr AntiVax" who just died of Covid-19. The ones grifting off human suffering. It's a place for your anger at the unvaccinated to go.
