>>> But mRNA vaccine skepticism has to be the stupidest "skepticism" and falsehoods I have ever seen of a new technology.

To be fair the media and government are more to blame. By attacking and trying to silence the skeptics during COVID only proved to make what you said worse.

You wont make a very attractive product by shaming, deriding, or forcing someone into taking said product that deals with their health.

I don't see how you can convince a skeptic who doesn't have the same knowledge as say a educated professional working on vaccines.

Either the skeptic needs the same level of education or an explanation from someone they trust with the level of education needed. You can't convince the skeptics with a sound byte. If they truly believe the government has it out for the entire country. I don't know where you would even begin.

I think the flaw here is you don't form your success or failure of adoption based on if you can convince the skeptics.

Thinking everyone can be brought to your side with reason is not a logical assumption. Some people no matter how strong an argument will not want to do something no matter the level of evidence or reasoning. Be it their faith or stubbornness and we need to be ok with that.

jailing them, excluding them from society, or forcing them from their jobs to provide to their famalies is how you get people to side with skeptics and does the opposite effect
