I worked in classified government work and girlfriend works in BioChem. Both of us are heavily against COVID vax because of their unstable and experimental nature. We told the (future) Mother in Law to not take the vax for months and for multiple occasions.
Unfortunatley she took the vax anyway. She's now in critical care for brain aneurysm.
Don't take this vax. Don't bet your life on it.
Trust in "authorities" is deeply ingrained in the Greatest Generation. Add to that the vulnerabilities of age and you're right - it's hard to talk them off the clot shot. Baby boomers are easier to convince because they are (mostly) Internet savvy and can research for themselves. But not all - the fear of losing their job or going against the grain of most of their friends or losing the ability to travel hinders some.
Yup. But if a young one craves to a death shot to keep his job or go on vacation, well that irrationality, I'll never get.
