Kevin Drum runs down a list of symptoms of COVID-19. The few people I've encountered or seen on TV who refuse to get vaccinated seem to me to fall into one of four categories…
-
They're young and figure they're healthy enough to fight off any problems and besides, they're too busy. Obviously, they don't have time to check out the stats of how many people who thought that got it and got it bad.
-
They resent the government telling them to do anything. And yet, for some odd reason, they have no problem with stopping at red lights or not robbing liquor stores.
-
They feel they're making some sort of political statement in support of certain leaders, every one of whom got vaccinated as soon as it was possible and/or got the disease and had horrible hospitalization experiences.
-
They've heard of someone who got vaccinated and was really sick for a day or two. To avoid that, they'll take the risk of getting way sicker for a longer time and possibly dying.
