Unfortunately, a number of my extended family members have thus far refused to get vaccinated. Based on my conversations with them, the Science Table is exactly right: No lottery, free food items, or new scientific evidence will convince them. But invariably, they have all said something to the effect of “I’m not getting a shot unless I have to in order to shop in the U.S. or go to the movies,” or “my kids aren’t getting the vaccine unless they have to for school.”The only thing that will convert the vaccine hesitant are restrictions that cause their desire to engage in enjoyable activities to outweigh their reservations.
