A week or 2 ago I read the results of a study about how to motivate conservatives to get the vaccine. The study found that conservatives didn’t not respond well to scare tactics, they became more resistant to the vaccine. They responded more favorably to the positives such as vaccinated people being able to live normal lives again or that restrictions will be lifted with more vaccinated people.
What I read didn’t say what motivated the libs but one could infer that the opposite does. Since most public health people lean left they assumed scare tactics are the best way to motivate people.
This pretty much sums up left vs right on most issues. Guns, climate, healthcare, social programs, etc.
