The zombies thing just popped into my head tonight as I wondered what the consequences of so many warm bodies harboring so much of the virus asymptomatic or otherwise and how it's basically infinite dice rolls on the mutation factor because

Currently out on the streets helpfully informing the local homeless about a pop up, walk up vaccine site in the area and getting them gallons of drinking water if they want. Guess what the overall reaction to the concept of vaccines is

also I feel like poo poo that this is the best I can do right now short of screaming at the boardwalk or sidewalk to get vax which isn't even off the table .
M mom is a nurse and has been at the front lines if this thing the whole time. These factors are some of what contribute to 'doomposting'

Yeah, not wearing masks inside when vaccinated is one of those things where I think it would make sense in a world where all people are both honest and rational but in reality it will just be used as an excuse by idiots.

Also I want to think the lottery thing might make a difference, but we need to do more. The people I think we need to be reaching at this point are the people who aren't anti-vaxx, but are lazy, unmotivated, etc about getting the vaccine. Basically I think we got through most of the people who badly wanted the vaccines, but need to get to these less motivated ones now. They are the kind of people who only get the flu vaccine if they happen to have a DR's appointments in the fall and the DR offers it or if their work has a day when people come in and give out shots. I still think the thing we need to do is find a way to make it convenient in a way where it's at a thing they'd already be going to. Hold vaccine drives at baseball games. Put a booth right outside the grocery store, etc. Hell, hold events at bars where you give out vaccines.

I am not trying to be pedantic but have you spoken to this demographic at all? And how about the working class who work all under the table, untaxed cash, no health benefits. Sure they could go get the vaccine (without insurance ?) but they're already so 'unmotivated' the vaccine just goes to the top of the pile.
This really is Darwin calling

Huh I was under the impression that insurance was required as they asked for my insurance info. But in retrospect that doesn't make sense and walk up clinics are a thing.
Point is that if people who have the option to haven't already taken steps to get the vaccine, there's no indication that they will in the future until something changes.

I am going to make a special offer for the thread. I will personally, on a busy night like tonight, go to the bar scene at 11pm or so and conduct as many short in person interviews as I can on why they aren't getting vaxed (audio only)
My question is do we really want to know the answers why? its just going to be stupid inane poo poo

That seems like you'll invite a lot of hostility and hostility at a bar can invite bad situations.

I'm a very vigilant person though.

Oh I would not be stepping into any bars, just the heavily crowded streets outside the bars. And suffice to say people have seen me around before that I would probably be fine?
The convos would not be jovial though that is for loving sure

e i imagine my single line would be "Hey have you considered getting vaxed?" and then roll tape

I've kind of done this in my local walmarts and whatnot. Someone breathing down my neck maskless and it usually goes like this:

me: pardon can I ask you a question?
them: yeah!
me: I know the covid guidelines are uncomfortable for a lot of folks. I don't like them much, either, but I'm pretty sick so I follow them. How d'you feel about them?

It's usually either met with them moving back and glaring at me (yay!) or them moving back and us talking about often opposing viewpoints. I've convinced a few but not many. Most of the arguments I've heard are what you expect: it's got a really high survival rate, the vaccines don't work, etc. Talking to them about my ongoing ministry experience and everything else has certainly gotten some pauses.

This is awesome that you made this effort.
..
This situation, discussing covid guidelines with strangers, resembles the street preaching and evangelism I sometimes see in this area.
The point is, almost no one ever gets their mind changed on the spot. We can only 'plant seeds' in people's minds; they have to nourish the idea until it becomes action . But if no one decides its their responsibility to plant some loving seeds then we really are in for a bad time.

I am not even being facetious right now; where was the miscommunication? this visual aid makes sense to me; 2 weeks after your vax you are good to go. Nothing else; so the CDC now saying "We didn't say everyone take off their masks" is in fact not walking anything back? it was clear to me at least what behavior is risky and what is not .

I have gone back on occasion to the first dozen pages of the first thread and the videos of the people dropping dead on the sidewalk were and still are freaky.

Its just gon' be like that I suppose. I heard and reconfirmed the timeline of a 'crossfit coach' who died of this thing in 2020 and it was 2 weeks from diagnosis to life support/dead.
Now a crossfit coach could mean a lot of things from supplements in the immune system to high exposure but the point being is that people will just continue to drop like flies from this new form of natural disaster that, because of the overall human condition, seems to be unpreventable

I hypothesize that people who have several dead friends by a certain age through whatever causes are desensitized to random inconsequential death to nebulous others such as India or Australia .
think about those at age 23 that have a dozen highschool friends in caskets, from car crashes and ODs and suicide .
They are the ones who don't have time to get vaccinated, and instead want to touch up their tattoo.
