If they're truly convinced that vaccine = death, then would they really choose death in combination with the paycheck? I guess in this case the threat of those severe consequences is good enough to make them reevaluate, maybe they'll see that maybe a billion people have been vaccinated with the mRNA vaccines and there hasn't been a mass die-out and in their mind this is how they convince themselves it'll be ok... Some other anti-vaxxers believe in vaccine timebombs (I've seen someone write on FB "Just wait until April 2022 and all the vaccinated will drop dead", just as convinced like the people who believed the world was going to end in December 2012), and I've also read that such timebomb is very unlikely, but hey, if there is such a timebomb, that last paragraph of mine will be very ironic indeed.

> If they're truly convinced that vaccine = death, then would they really choose death in combination with the paycheck? I think the title of the article applies here. What proportion of the unvaccinated do you think equate the shot with death? If they're worried about potential long term effects (just for one example, whether you believe they're possible or not), it'd be hard to prioritize that over feeding their kids next week. This may be controversial, but the term "antivaxer" really deserves to be deprecated. It means too many different things to different people. It's a sloppy caricature that leads to sloppy thinking, but we see it being used all over the place.
