Does anyone have knowledge of what RW media is telling people? [View all]

Specifically about the booster?

Two double vaxxed family members are refusing to get the booster. Both saying the exact same thing - "They are through, they are healthy, they have strong immune systems and they are not getting it, nor will they give it to anyone else."

I know, this sounds simple. Just explain all the sound reasons. Know them all.

But this is definitely different. Reasoning is completely ineffective. "What about others"? ineffective. And everyone else has tried, even 96 year old grandma.

Makes me so suspicious. These people are typically kind and loving people even tho not Dems. Can you get hypnotized over the radio? Because they look like that.

PS Forgot other reason - they *think* they may have had it in 2020 because they were kinda sick one time.

I haven't seen a bunch of new arguments against the booster specifically. Nevilledog Dec 2021 #5
Yes, maybe that's it. Deep inside they have been Laura PourMeADrink Dec 2021 #8
Except immunity from a past infection wouldn't have been for the omicron variant. Nevilledog Dec 2021 #10
I know. It's almost like a badge of courage to get it Laura PourMeADrink Dec 2021 #15
The comment "they are through" sounds a lot like Covid fatigue, or vax fatigue. GoodRaisin Dec 2021 #12
Good point. But the absolute and total lack of Laura PourMeADrink Dec 2021 #16
