This claims to be providing a reason people distrust vaccines, but is really just a list of cases where a conservative is exposed to bad media (it's framed as an "anybody" being exposed to bad media). It ignores the cases where a conservative is exposed to good media, a liberal is exposed to bad media, and a liberal is exposed to good media. Being exposed to bad media is the reason for the vast majority of political distrust on all sides. Vaccines aren't special in this regard, but this writeup is using it as an excuse to paint a picture for political points, and thereby contribute to bad media.
- rajin444 5y agoThe average person lacks the resources and intellect to accurately assess covid vaccines. They have to rely on trust. Can you provide a trustworthy source on whether or not an individual should get the vaccine? I think I get what you’re trying to say but I’m arguing it doesn’t matter. Any bad media (especially of the ideologically motivated kind) is an absolute failure.
