COVID-19: Chapter 8 - Ongoing source of viral information, and a little fun

Yeah, and more broadly just going to be pushed down to social mores.

My girlfriend is Mexican and just shared a slightly disturbing bit of news. Mexico’s been going fairly slowly w/the vaccination process, just now getting to the 60s+ age bracket and 7.4% of the population totally vaccinated. Well, she told me that she might actually be able to get the vaccine (she’s in her 20s) sometime soon. Which is nice for her, but means that a large % of the population is too afraid or uninterested in taking the vaccine. We knew that a sizable % of populations wouldn’t take the vaccine, but it might be larger than thought (at least in Latin America).

Also important to note that a large percentage of the “vaccine hesitant” are just waiting to make sure that everyone who got vaxxed doesn’t start dropping dead. More and more of them will be willing to get vaxxed as time goes on.

Literally every company should be doing this. Especially companies with minimum wage making public facing employees, or employees in plants and factories. It’s massively +EV for those companies to do this.

I am not sure about this. If things start to open back up and people can live their normal lives then motivation to get vaccinated goes way down.

The polling and numbers bear it out. As time goes on more and more from the “wait and see” group of vaccine hesitant people are getting vaxxed.

Wait… what? Where do I sign up?

Right but I don’t think it’s because they were waiting to see if the early adopters had adverse affects. The data I saw (for Canada) was that the trend was coming from a) family doctors doing direct outreach to people to debunk false narratives and b) pressure from family members to get the vaccine so families can gather safely. I worry that over time those factors will fade.

Wow. Can’t let them coloreds get ahead with a million dollars. Gotta keep it to white people who don’t deal with voter suppression.

Ok, Mike DeWine GOAT.

Lol, Wut? I’m reading that that they just bribed everyone with a chance to win a million dollars to get registered to vote and get vaccinated? That sounds pretty win win win to me.

Like, this is an even better idea than my idea to pay everyone a grand. People will absolutely get vaccinated for a chance to win a milly. Honestly, fucking casinos should be doing similar shit. Get a J&J shot from us and get some slots freeplay.

But with making it incredibly difficult to register, POC aren’t going to be able to register in time.

I mean it’s a really good idea. Just sucks that the lottery itself will benefit white people most. I mean why not use the vaccine records themselves?

Are these tweets fake? Motherfucker, the links are dead. This is a bullshit use of fake tweets if these are. Edit: Nevermind, the links don’t work but it looks like it’s on his real twitter account.

Wow, also, for 12-17 year olds:
