The article reflects on challenges faced when discussing vaccines with resistant individuals, particularly during the COVID-19 rollout. The author indicates past attempts at dialogue led to conflict, highlighting the importance of an empathetic approach. Instead of confrontational tactics, the recommendation is to meet people where they are in their understanding and beliefs about vaccines, offering support rather than pressure, which might further entrench their resistance.
The conversations about vaccines rarely come up. I have tried to talk to them about it once in regard to my younger siblings. However, they are pretty resistant.
When the COVID-19 vaccine was rolling out, I tried to have a serious conversation with them about it, but it ended up in a big fight, which is not worth it to me.
I think it's important to meet people where they're at and support them on their journey without being forceful because that can lead to more resistance.
