You would have had a higher vaccine compliance if the dialogue would never have been about mandates. Just give a health recommendation. You wouldn't have reached everyone, but the science also said that you do not need to.
In some countries we will see mandates without any perspective. For the third dosage? The fourth? The opposition is correct when it says you only get your freedom back if you boot out those responsible for this in the first place. No politician comes out and admits mistakes, not even in democracies.
People talk as if a political and a scientific opinion are equivalent. That is obviously not the case most of the time.
I think that many people have a low opinion of the general public, but I think they are more intelligent than people give them credit for.
If you want to someone to take an action, tell them specifically what they have to gain, dont just provide some general platitude that it is good for you.
If you want someone to get boosted, say you have X% reduced chance of death and Y% hospitalization. Make an honest calculation and keep it up to date.
If the data doesn't exist, we have much bigger problems.
This was done for COVID, and was received as fearmongering. You have “experts” saying you “will die” if you get COVID, yet stories are passing around the entire time of unvaccinated people alive after getting COVID with no long term issues and never having seen a hospital.
So you have one group of people literally scared to death and that’s why they take the vaccine, and another group seeing other data that makes them say “I’ll take my chances”
