It's weird to me that people nowadays don't want to see both sides. It doesn't hurt to know where people are coming from. I'm in defense of people not getting the vaccine if they don't want it but that doesn't stop me from getting my second shot of moderna tomorrow morning.

Telling other people what to do and how to live is a fools errand.
Showing people that life can be better by living it out and educating them if they ask is a much more effective way.

The goal isn't to change a mind, it's too educate into betterment.

I feel like some guy said "Be the change you wish to see in the world" and that summed it up all the better.
Nah, the goal is to spread the pain.

People who can change their minds will do so whether we're ****s or not. People who cannot change their minds will not change their minds, whether we're ****s or good listeners. My next door neighbor, who is a kind and giving person, is a total nutjob believing all kinds of conspiracies. No matter how much I'd want to get him on a new course, I can't beat twelve hours a day of trusted but lying talk radio.

The best we can do is vaccine passports. Force the people who don't get vaxxed to be responsible and stay locked up in their homes until this virus is gone.
