Reply to comment by Chrissy9001 in An analysis of 4511 vaccine-related tweets show that anti-vaccine messaging tends to focus on the "harmful" nature of vaccines, based on personal values and beliefs rather than hard facts. Anonymity did not affect the type of content posted, but did affect volume of content. by glawgii
Uhh yes, it is. You're conflating people in their 20s and 30s not getting the vaccination because they really aren't at risk vs people who are at risk and push conspiracy theories.

Ok, I see what you mean now. I took what you said to mean that they were less likely to be vaccinated due to them believing antivaxx misinformation.

Am older Gen X - I agree w YOU, i am vaxed and stopped masking for a little while but NOW am back masking. The anti vaxers in our family are those who live outside the city and only one who died was somebody over 65 living in rural texas - it is purely lack of education , plus the falling down into a evangelical mindset. The one time my partner got covid was when he was close to his unmasked and UNVAXED cousin at a funeral - am on the West Coast and so are my children SO we do not see this stuff until we travel back down South.

Are young, healthy people who did not take the vaccine anti-vaxxers or not?
And what should be done about convincing them?
