I usually like this Dr. but his is dead wrong here! Totally out of touch with reality.
Sorry, it's not like there is an even split they way you keep making it sound. The vast majority and even a majority of Republicans (over 60% of Republicans) are good with the vaccines. You are giving way, way, way too much power to 30% of the population that is screwing things up and I guarantee you 95% of that 30% won't ever, ever, ever be convinced. PERIOD!!! You seem hyper focused on 1 or 2% of "reasonable" people who email you with questions about vaccine safety, but this is too small a number to worry about. If the mandate is good enough for Fox News, it's good enough for any hardcore conservative. You're living in a dream world that you and others are changing more than a tiny fraction of minds. Don't get me wrong because what you do is important, but you are are vastly over estimating the number of people who can be moved to getting the vaccine by reason and understanding. Sometimes you just need to lay down the law and show leadership. Let the requirements roll and lets get a handle on this now! Not wait for those of you with "better messaging" to save the world and change the minds of 50 million QAnon folks and those who hate anything the Gov. does.

I've watched him rage out on a few different topics since the beginning of COVID. His arguments mostly boil down to bullying, name calling, and repetition.
