    Incentives are great, probably a gift card is the easiest to deploy.

    Here’s your last chance for a carrot. Isolation should be next. Vaccine passport so can just move on and not rehash the BS nonsense.

    Yep. These are the same shitbags who kept denying the reality of the pandemic while folks were dropping off in Italy faster than they could be carted away.

    Their stupidity is putting everyone around them at risk and contributing to the next variant problem. Fuck 'em.

    Please love yourself.

        It’s time to get the vaccines into the hands of Primary Care Physicians. These are people’s trusted doctors who can talk to these hesitant people individually.

        1. How many PCPs work out of a place that has a fridge good enough too store Pfizer vaccines at -70ºC? The Moderna one needs a fridge at -20ºC.

        2. Statistically, among those who have PCPs, they see their PCPs maybe once or twice a year. Half the people have their next "annual" visits scheduled more than six months out. (Heck, you might have better luck doing it via dental offices because those who have dental insurance usually get their teeth cleaned by a hygienist twice a year.)

        3. Many hospital systems, clinics, and PCP offices are already quite active in sending out communications advising their patients to get vaccinated. Beyond that, if you the PCP to talk one-on-one to individual patients, you would be bottle-necked by point 2. above.

        If there are PCP offices who can do it and want to do it, by all means let them get the vaccine kits and let them do it. But on the grand scheme of things I just don't see PCP offices as the most effective places to proactively distribute vaccines to.

          We have an extended family member who wouldn’t get vaccinated, think young. We all told that person, that’s fine but don’t come around. That fixed it.

            How many people do things that put others in danger?

            Let's get them all.

            Start by assessing the risk of each activity.

            Then simply sort.

            Don't forget to include riding a bicycle in the district.

              I get the difference between big government and public health. Over 500,000 people died in the US alone and we will be paying for the stimulus to save companies and people afloat for years as a consequence and you really want to equate the two?

                What two?

                I am talking about activities that put others in danger.

                covid vaccine avoidance is no better than any other.

                Or maybe it is, but I haven't seen any proof.

                And saying 500,000 died assigns no risk value to future vaccine avoidance.

                    -20C is not uncommon. Pretty much any medical lab and most pharmacies have a freezer that runs in the -20 to -30 range. And you can find dry ice anywhere.

                      And the -40 has shown to be unnecessary by Pfizer. Even so, it’s a simple solution, turn the state run Van centers into distribution points. Instead of administering 2000 shots per day, distribute 4000 doses per day to local physicians.

                      As for the timing, the numbers of people receiving the vaccine are starting to drop and that drop will plummet over the next month. Physicians are the most likely to convince their patients that the vaccine is safe...Not some government social media campaign...

                        A five cubic foot chest freezer is $179 at Sam's. Those will easily do -10 to about -15.

                        Cannot be a frost free freezer, is about the biggest requirement, other than the ability to reach temp. The freezer will have to be monitired...That's a $45 digital thermometer with the probe in a small bottle of glycerin, and the ability to show the high and low temp. Have somebody log the temp each morning, and check off that the high temp was not exceeded.

                        Viola! Vaccine access at your local doc...

                          It’s a ridiculous argument at this point anyway. There are millions of doses of vaccine that require no special refrigeration, it is simple enough to acquire the vaccines that do require it, and who better to talk to the reticent?

                                And if your primary concern is Vaccine resistant variants, even if you had 100% vaccination in the US, there are still billions of unvaccinated out there. Forcing vaccination wouldn’t accomplish anything yet.

                                  If you can’t even get vaccinated you really have decided to give society the middle finger and without logical reasoning. It’s effort to listen to anything that person has to say after they have made that choice. In fact I won’t anymore.

                                    “Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”

                                    Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

                                      And if your primary concern is Vaccine resistant variants, even if you had 100% vaccination in the US, there are still billions of unvaccinated out there. Forcing vaccination wouldn’t accomplish anything yet.

                                      If you can’t even get vaccinated you really have decided to give society the middle finger and without logical reasoning. It’s effort to listen to anything that person has to say after they have made that choice. In fact I won’t anymore.

                                      Your choice, but who is the bigger idiot?

                                      Some things are self evident and the smartest people on the planet with subject matter expertise are all in alignment and then there is a faction that cannot articulate a cogent reason ro not take the vaccine. As I’ve said before, when you jump the shark that hard you are going to lose the edge of your base who listened on a number of topics and now are revisiting every conspiracy theory and alt news as malarkey.

                                        I plan to get vaccinated, but I have no particularly strong judgements of the psyches of those who don't want to.

                                        Education is extremely important.

                                          Got my second shot a couple of hours ago.

                                          I already felt morally superior to pretty much everybody, so it hasn't really affected me.

                                          I was only joking
