My point of view is closer to yours than you might think : I'm definitely pro-vaccination, and I do believe at least some categories of population should have mandatory vaccine (teachers, medical, etc...).
My point was mainly about the self-congratulatory tone of the message above, whose main effect is to :
- create tension with people that disagree
- gain approval from people that already agree
And in the end make the subject more tense than it has to be. No one bats an eye for other mandatory vaccine, this one creates tension because of propaganda campaigns and some valid concerns (like mrna vaccine being pretty new), but the answer to those tensions is not exacerbating an "us vs them" mentality

- blululu 5y agoI noticed in your previous point that you are not opposed to the widespread use of vaccines and that you are in favor of taking action to stop the danger posed by covid. The question I am asking is about tactics for getting everyone working together to put an end to this. I keep hearing people suggest that we can’t be condescending because we shouldn’t offend anyone or make anybody feel bad and I am not seeing it do much good. Shame is a powerful social mechanism and I don’t see why we shouldn’t use it. What are you actually proposing? A clear statement of facts is a good start, but what do you recommend after that?
