As vaccinations numbers begin to recede, it seems we are going to fall short of reaching ‘herd immunity, which is necessary to protect AKK of us from COVID19,

 Which will be able to produce new variants and be an ongoing problem, killing citizens for a LONG time.

Scientists are trying to find out WHY so many are adverse to getting an inoculation that will protect them, and their friends and family, as well as society as a whole.

Scientists have found similar patterns among skeptics in Australia and Israel, and in a broad sample of vaccine-hesitant people in 24 countries.

“At the root are these moral intuitions — these gut feelings — and they are very strong,” said Jeff Huntsinger, a social psychologist at Loyola University Chicago who studies emotion and decision-making and collaborated with Omer’s team. “It’s very hard to override them with facts and information. You can’t reason with them in that way.”

These qualities tend to predominate among conservatives.

Wow! I’m shocked! We’re finding that conservatives aren’t convinced by ‘facts and information’. 

Like Dotard, they just ‘go with their gut’. Duh, who da thunk? Throw in the fact that they get their ‘news’ from one source, and it’s a propaganda outlet for the Repub party and you can see why we have such a YUUUGE problem over something so simple as vaccinations.

BTW, just an advertisement for a t-shirt that had VACCINATED in large letters, and below, in smaller letters, ‘because I’m not stupid’.

PERFECT!
