What you have stated could be the reasons, or they could actually be following what they think is best. If you can be open to the idea that it's not safe, you also should be open to at least the idea that it could be. But like I said, those who did not or will not may be right - I have no crystal ball.
it makes things even more complicated when each person has thier own risk factors. A single person who works from home and has groceries delivered and barely sees anyone has a completely different decision and calculation vs a family of 6 with tons of contact outside the house. Throw in age, health levels, and gets even more complex.
"Jeff" lives alone, is 25, barely goes out, and works from home. His parents live 2000 miles away.
His chances of getting covid very low, his chances of dying from it low as well. A decision to take the vacine is tough, he sees the odds of being damaged in some way from the vacine as higher than not taking it.
"tim" lives with his family of 5. He also cares for his parents from time to time, they are 82. He is 49 and has diabetes. His chances of getting covid are much higher, and it does present a risk to him. It also presents a risk to his parents. Maybe his decision is easier.
And that doesn't even factor in the notion of protecting the general community and overloading hospitals. ......causing potentially more unrelated suffering and deaths.
