I’m antivax and anti mask mandates and think vaccines are a good idea. I’ve even gotten two vaccines. However I won’t be getting another the reason I won’t is to stand in solidarity with the unvaxxed, note this is a political stance and not a scientific one. If you want me to get vaxxed to save whoever then the mandates must be lifted in their entirety save for actual quarantining of the infected which I think is reasonable.
I can definitely be reasoned with and reason with the unvaccinated all the time.
I opened my home in contravention of the mandates to throw parties and have unvaccinated people a place to socialize and people found my point of view to be in line with theirs. Namely that vaccines work but for them they would prefer the risk of getting Covid to getting vaccinated.
It may surprise you but many people can be talked to and turn out to have points of view vastly different than what you read on the news / see on social media.
- ericmay 5y agoI'm not disputing that you can do these things? You could also host a party where everyone is comfortable and enjoys talking about the tooth fairy, or about how birds aren't real (great marketing campaign actually). The dispute comes when you go from incorrect private opinion to reality. For example, you can think that vaccines are a good idea, but be anti-vax yourself, but then you should acknowledge and recognize that your views are wrong and irrational and make sure not to speak publicly about your views in case you confuse others who may be harmed by your belief.
