That 50% covid unvaccinated is the same percentage of people who don't roll up their sleeves for their yearly flu shots. Surprising? Every year there are campaigns to "Get your Flu shot here" Where were the million dollar lotteries, and free beer, donuts, etc.?

Problem is when "carrots" don't work, "sticks" will be used. Sticks being used already.

Getting vaccinated to prevent your own death or infection and stop the disease is to much to ask, hardly a sacrifice.

Sure this is just another bad flu season with 600,000 dead.

Vaccination doesn’t prevent death or infection.

You think humans are immortal or something?

We’re all going to die, sorry for the breaking news. And the virus clearly has no affect on those with the longest to live.

Tell me if you think this is a good idea. I lived in Florida during the 2009 Fl PANDEMIC. It was mostly retirees and snowbirds living in this area. Publix supermarket went all out with flu shots. They had a table of nurses set up by PRODUCE section giving flu shots. "Get your free turkey with your flu shot" on the PA system constantly. I walked passed those nurses and said no thank you.

Down one aisle I saw a nurse following a old woman. She kept telling that nurse that she did not want a vaccination and to go away. Nurse kept following her yapping away. I thought about intervening on the woman's behalf but did not want to start a fight in the middle of a supermarket. Maybe that nurse would start on me too.

I went to the Manager and told him what happened and all this needed to stop. Following someone to get vaccinated is HARASSMENT, period. That supermarket went back to just a sign for flu shots at the door. That is ENOUGH. Guess I wasn't the only person to complain. At least with door to door push with covid vaccination you can slam the door in their face to get away.

Sticks tend to get broken, when they run into Americans.
Had they used the right carrot (a box of shotgun shells) they would have gotten a better response

The purveyors of this propaganda seem to be everywhere these days.
Most of them have a better and smoother approach than this one.
I guess they are really scraping the bottom of the barrel with this guy.

It's a trade off. The shot has its own risks. Despite a lot of effort to pretend it doesn't and to bury those who dare to speak about it, there are people who are worried about those risks. In fact, the effort to hide this info has multiplied their reluctance.

Actually, it has been milder than I expected.
I was expecting a million by the end of 2020.

The nurses at the table were a good idea, the sign was a good idea.
As further efforts are pursued, they give a diminishing return.

Door to door? Dumb.

Pamphlets and leaflets are a better way to spread the word, but then, you have to have credibility, and as long as there are guys like we have in this thread, spreading misinformation that we can know, by observing, is false, and people working to suppress the truth about vaccination injury, the pro-vaccination crowd will lack credibility.

Thats ridiculous. Go to get some bread and milk, get followed around hassled to take a shot. Now they have a Disney channel actress who they are salivating over, hailing her as the messenger to get us unvaxxed to comply. The whole gushing over each other between her and the White House is so corny I was embarrased for the whole lot of them.

Whats next? A truck with billboards and carnival barkers?

Much of the TV ads are about the vaccine now. That one singer has a Walgreens commercial and he keeps repeating "this is our shot" over and over. It's a marketing technique. You repeat a message repeatedly and people are programmed in thinking a certain way. It normalizes a product into the thought process in order to sell it.

Thats correct. They are hoping the vaccine resistant get thier thought process broken down. A person may start to think "well maybe its not too dangerous after all" and thats the start of it. The young attractive actress is straight up marketing. Im wondering how far they will go once the vaccine carnival barkers fail to boost the number of jabs. France has major restrictions and penalties for the unvaccinated coming.

How far off is the U.S. from this I wonder?

There's a vaccine for car accidents? Well I guess I'm safe to get my license now.

Does it also keep me safe from getting struck by lightning too? My phobia is cured.

Technically, it has been two flu seasons.
