[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm curious if this was a Mennonite child and if so, why they weren't vaccinated. Vaccination is not prohibited by the religion but I assume there are different cultures with different regional groups. So I'm wondering if a vaccination campaign would easily convince them to get vaccinated, or would they be likely to continue to refuse? Sometimes it really is a matter of education and evidence.

The problem with a vaccination campaign is that it really has to come from someone the people already trust and that's usually NOT public health/government officials or doctors. "Authorities" are usually suspect.

Voices for Vaccines does good work on the vaccine education front.[/quote]

Therein lies the problem. There is a distrust of experts. This is a very big problem that has to be tackled by the root. I don’t see that happening. People who were dying of COVID, died believing it was from something else.

I’m a skeptic at heart, but I would never blow up the system. Better to work within. The problem for all of its is…experts are planning to leave if their jobs aren’t respected. This is minority rule and thinking that is having outsized consequences. [/quote]
