CV and mad panic behaviour

[Macca37]

Macca, I totally agree with you that it's hard to accept that the holdouts have little concern for the common good. Here's an interesting article by a psychologist who was involved with analysing what might persuade them to vaccinate.

COVID vaccine hesitancy: spell out the personal rather than collective benefits to persuade people — new research, The Conversation.

So much for social cohesion. They're about as community-minded as Montgomery Burns  :

That's an interesting article, but the percentage of anti-social people within the community is depressing.

After so many months of lockdown, the ever looming threat of Covid,  and the failure of collective benefits arguments failing to sway the views of a hardcore group, I've lost interest in attempting to change their minds.

I hope the Victorian government has the resolve to carry through with its plan to place restrictions on the unvaccinated when we open up.  The loss of privileges may be one way of forcing the anti-social to become a little more sociable.
