You could have framed it in sliding scale reality..when asked if they like Obama care..they say no..when asked if they like the Affordable Care Act..they answer yes not realizing it is the same thing..I ran into an old friend on the trail today (almost literally), and he made a really good point that if the doctors, politicians, media, etc. would have called it the covid shot less people would be scared of it. Vaccine might seem scary, unknown, and political. Obviously there is no way to determine how much that would have helped, but just to throw a number out there, what if 10% more people would have gotten the shot in June and July?
EDIT: I'm going to edit another conversation that may illustrate this point (granted only one anecdotal piece of data): A lady who used to work at my site was standing outside talking with some people the other day and I overheard her say "(husbands name) decided that god doesn't want us to get this vaccine." I didn't find out until the next day that she was at our site to get her flu shot!
also not put into historical context about schools and parents..why are you so extremely opposed to the Covid vaccine when you were close onboard w the 5-8 vaccines needed to get into school?..probably going to go something like..oh yeah, those shots? Or..that was different..or...
