Your characterization of the unvaccinated. I think most people who are unvaccinated have fully bought in to conspiracy theories and I don't think money is likely to change their minds.
I think those people would have to be forced at gunpoint.
You keep repeating that gunpoint line, is that what you want to do to solve this? It’s heavy handed when we haven’t really tried that many other social pressures.
Mask / vax mandates in public spaces works pretty well, as does requiring it for employment. Cutting off treats and applying social stigma up until they vaccinate is a strong lever.
The amount of people who have actually quit their jobs over vaccination when push comes to shove is negligible.
It was just exaggeration to say I don't think anything can be done to make them get vaccinated. I don't think there's anything (this) government can do to get people to get vaccinated and reasonably end the pandemic.
We cannot cut off the treats or create any more social pressure. Or at least, the Democrats can't. You can't make the proverbial suburban hot tub salesman fire his employees for not getting vaccinated. You can't make people in East Ditchwater wear a mask. I talk to friends who have visited red areas of the country and people just don't wear masks. How does this white house get those people to wear masks or get vaccinated when they view everything it proposes as an anathema? Half of this country's entire personality is "the opposite of whatever he says". How do you combat that? You can't.
