anti-vax views are unfortunately high enough in the elderly population to make their vaccination rates suboptimal. this will result in many excess deaths. the cpc should have used the time bought via zero covid to overcome this issue. now, the unvaccinated will pay the price.
The issue is much more challenging than force people to get the vaccine, forcing vaccines is a way to alienate a group of the population that looks to traditional medicine for care and has a high rate of participation and involvement in society. They educated all over the country.
Anecdotally, I personally tried to convince my grandmother for about 6 months on a daily basis, even having her tradmed talk to her and she refused because of her common sickness treatment regime has kept her alive for 100 years.
I’m skeptical of most “traditional” medicine, but I’m curious to hear about your grandmother, if you would like to share more.
