I know some elder relatives of my friends have refused to get vaccinated and now they’re falling sick and a few have passed away.
Feeling sad because these sicknesses and deaths were largely preventable only if they had not fallen for the misinformation around vaccines.

Media is largely to blame for this.
They hyped up rare cases to scare people, and did not do enough to convince people that vaccines will save their life.

Unfortunately, I don’t see how this’ll change.
Media always optimizes for hype and people who fall for it keep propagating the hype, until it becomes indistinguishable from truth.
Read the research findings and think critically. It can save your life.
We’re really on our own.

And yes govt could have done A LOT in terms of promoting vaccines.
They should have done massive, mass-media campaigns.
But they didn’t do any of that.
Which means that the onus to seek the right information and act on it falls squarely on our shoulders.
