It could also be true that vaccinated people are willing to take greater risks now that they knowingly have a level of protection.
- nielsbot 5y agoAnecdote: I personally feel more comfortable eating at restaurants after being vaccinated. A little, but more.
- votepaunchy 5y agoSomeone who is unvaccinated most likely never felt uncomfortable eating at a restaurant.
- pas 5y agoThere's a big crowd that just fears "big pharma" but also the virus too.
- majou 5y agoThis doesn't give enough credit to a lot of people who are simply wary about what goes into their body. The vaccines aren't risk-free; the damage of covid looks plainly to be orders of magnitude worse, but papering over any potential risk of vaccines is doing everything a disservice. Getting people inoculated is important, but the chilling effects of this kind of short-circuiting is worrisome. Lots of people are pro-mask, pro-mask-mandate, and still wary about the vaccine.
- ajross 5y agoThat's mixing up data sets. The "unvaccinated" of today (dominated by those who have refused the vaccine) aren't the same population of last April (people without access to a vaccine they want), to which you belonged. The latter were wearing their masks and being cautious. The former clearly aren't. While they're both "unvaccinated" they don't have the same behavior here.
- nojokes 5y agoI have see this argument a lot (from people who are against vaccination) that vaccinated are less responsible. My personal experience shows the opposite.
