Not to mention for some people in this and other countries, who were experimented on the government in the past because of their race, social standing, and so on. They have every right to fear. Not saying they shouldn’t get the vaccine , but it’s times like these you listen and explain, not beat them over the head or shriek and point to call them labels.
Agreed. My personal frustration is people outside of these categories with whom I have personal relationship
It is for normal people because of the growth and proliferation of the anti-vaccine movement combined with the idea that we should respect all “opinions”.
You're right, and the best way out of what you're describing is conversations and workshops tailored locally. Supposedly the White House is working on this, though it should have started much sooner. Talking to our friends and being annoying when out and about and asking your cashier/server/gym attendant if they've taken advantage of vaccination and sparking thought.
I don’t really see the connection between Orlando’s resident based vaccine numbers vs WDW’s clientele. On any given day what’s the guest % actually living in Orange County? I’d be surprised if it was over 10%.
No it’s not. You’re asking the human condition to reject hundreds of years of the trademark fear for many: fear of the unknown. Not everyone has been exposed to anti vaccine info out there. I’m sure back in the 1950s many might have been hesitant to accept the “new” polio vaccine. I was nervous myself to accept the vaccine as it was for emergency use and understood that this vaccine type was relatively new; and even heard and saw some ridicule for letting the government “experiment” on me. but I did the research and understood that SARS kicked this off, along with other viruses, so it’s not as “new” as it appears. I could have given into my into nervousness and said no, I am young and will be ok since I am low risk. But I took the leap. If someone like you came along and just labeled me anti-vax it may have dug my heels in.
Yes, but what happens in WDW "goes home" to OC. People staying and eating offsite. And, of course, living in the county. Demings' charge is to protect them more than the guest from Wherever, USA. So, while national numbers are above his target for removing outdoor masks, residents of the county he leads still have a bit to go.
I get your point, but WDW isn’t going to want to take the “our cast members and locals are at least half vaccinated so let’s just get rid of the masks for everyone” look. Imo it’s gotta be more gradual and more in line with state and country numbers as a whole instead of one county in Florida.
I misunderstood. Yes, because of WDW's situation as a tourist destination for a much more broad clientele, they definitely need to strike a balance between what is going on in their own backyard with the national (and eventually again, world) picture.
Did the Mayor mention when he thought the county would reach 50%? I know it’s at 46.17% now, which seems close. We arrive on May 30th and really would like masks outdoors to be optional at that point. Thanks in advance!
Past vaccines saw people rush to them because they experienced the devastating effects of disease. For something like polio the promise of no longer closing schools and business as kids were relegated to iron lungs was a cause for celebration. At the end of the 20th century the United States was nearing universal vaccination. 2019 saw the most cases of measles since the disease was declared eliminated in the US in 2000. This is something that has been festering for the past 20 years and we’re seeing the depth of its impact. These “simple questions” and “concerns” have been seeded in popular culture and they have an origin that should not be protected, it should be called out for the horrible, destructive garbage that it is.
I commend you for accepting her 11th and 12th toes
Ok I give up. I have rightfully pointed out that many of those who haven’t taken the covid shot yet have taken all other vaccines. Yet you continue to thump your arrogant chest and hold your nose in the air. People like you are actually the dregs of the society.
Good job not reading.
?
Yes I did read. You made it VERY clear about how you feel anyone who is hesitant to take the vaccine and where their attitude originated from. I had no idea you can read the minds of millions and trace their thought process! Silly me.
