Meh, people who have made decisions often say they won't change their minds. Most people taking marriage vows don't intend to get a divorce later, but we know half do. Many people say they don't want children and then decide to have them after all. People change their college majors all the time. They also cancel hotel reservations and decide to change their diets and sell their dream homes to move into a different house.
It doesn't really matter what anyone says they'll do or not do.
If there's a much more deadly variant or a variant that begins killing children, many of those steadfast vaccine deniers will change their minds in a jiffy. If it all fizzles out in the next six months or so or the new variants become less serious and aren't causing long-term problems, then they won't need to change their minds. Just need to see what happens, and the proof will be in the pudding.

And maybe the people in the Wuhan lab who were working on this current bug have a 2.0 version for us that is as bad as what you are imagining.
What could be more evil than people rooting for something like that to happen.
This is unfortunate. If enough people get vaccinated, we could get life back to normal very quickly. Given the dangers posed by this virus, choosing not to get vaccinated is hard to understand. I talk to people in India daily. All they want right now is help getting vaccines. The anti vaccine crowd in the US should worry us all
I don't know that anyone is rooting for a terrible variant. The fact is that try as we might, we do not control viruses. All we can do is try to mitigate their harm. There have been pandemics throughout history; what's unique about this one is that there is widespread internet-based misinformation floating around everywhere. Before this, people would get information from their own doctors and their family members, not from some lunatic conspiracy theorists with YouTube channels.
We just need to see what happens.
I just posted this on another thread, but it's more relevant to this one: My sister just told me that her husband, who wasn't going to get a vaccine because he's pretty sure it's a plot to depopulate the world, was informed by his boss that everyone needs to get vaxed to keep their jobs. He works on computer systems in large corporations, and one of them has made it mandatory and has said that contractors also need to be vaccinated. So they both made appointments for the J&J shot this afternoon. I'm glad they'll be protected, though I do wish that it wasn't due to an ultimatum.

You're glad they are being forced to participate in an experimental therapy?
FWIW you have no idea that they are protected or that the "protection" doesnt come with its own harm.

Well, my BIL received the ultimatum, not my sister. She was just kind of not in a rush to get her vax. Like I said, I do wish it hadn't come to an ultimatum. But in the end, he's not being forced. He has excellent qualifications and could get a job elsewhere, I'm sure. It must not be worth the hassle to him.
It's not experimental, though. That's the term used when the vaccines are still in the trial period. We are out of the trials now.
I know that getting covid can come with potentially a LOT of harm, so yes, if they get a fever or sore joints or a headache from the vaccine, I'll be glad that it was that and not myocarditis, permanent lung damage, and the other "side effects" from covid.
The government and government-sponsored medical experts have only themselves to blame.
If they had not LIED, there would not be the level of suspicion/paranoia.
