1/n Unpopular opinion here, but stay with me. As noted there is a vaccine hesitancy problem in many countries (as some like to call it). For example, many report that in the USA there is more availability than people wanting to vaccinate.
2/n So what would governments do: "We are going to stay in lockdown because we cannot achieve 'herd immunity' this way", which if you have followed me this last year you know that not to be true, BUT, dont focus on that.
3/n The hesitancy problem is not gonna go away, those that wont take the vax until trial is over, wont take it no matter what you do. Those that already taken it, are not their problem anymore. What about the middle ground.
4/n Those are the ones that they must target, but pushing them to vaccinate would be counterproductive. Luckily game theory provides an alternative. There is a far better and more efficient way for governments and faster for lockdown oriented which cannot find a way to get out.
5/n The solution is to announce: "In 90 days we will open up everything, no restrictions of any kind. You have until then to make up your mind. We will ensure that if you want a vax, you will get it. But after 90 days no lockdown, no masks, everything open."
6/n That solves two things. People like me that understand the risks wont get the vax until trial is VERY OVER, will have their liberties back (light after the tunnel). Vaccinated people that is scared as shit will have to get their act together.
7/n And the hesitancy now becomes a personal choice on how much risk you can bear for yourself (it's not the government problem anymore). This solves the conundrum most governments got into, and they do not find a way out. Tag your representatives so they know this is the way.
