What about sunk costs? I worry people will hold tight. But I love the optimism of this post! I needed it today when the mask mandate when back into effect in IL..

"there is no more vocal nor radicalized convert than one who just realized they have been duped" - Agreed, and they will get very angry.
And only 10% have to start getting mad to start pulling the rest along.....
But, again, surely this would have featured in their massively-resourced scenario-planning (they HAVE to have known what the outcomes of the vax would be).....?
So I do really worry - maybe they WANT people to get mad and protest in the streets....?
Cos then of course it's back to managing a known scenario.......
(And just as well the troops are back to help with all this nonsense).......
Then it's a state of emergency against a very-well identified enemy.......
And that might be game-over for the resistance (for the time being anyway).
A lot of this goes back to two atavistic American traits now nearing the entrail stage--education and faith. If people's minds are developed into anything close to their potential, critical thinking skills should ultimately guide them into seeing far beyond a sunk cost fallacy. But what about faith? What about an innate sense that a higher being or the hand of fate will protect them from a disease that kills about 3 out of every 1,000 people ESPECIALLY if they believe they are noble individuals worth protecting and that have an inherent worth apart from what the State can demand in the way of sacrifice?

sure, some are going to fall for sunk cost fallacy and agree to "just one more" but that seems like a much harder sell than the last one.
you're never going to convince everyone. the question is can we tip enough of the middle over that the general consensus and gestalt changes.
i suspect this endless drip of new vaxxed illness will prove formidable in that regard.

Or maybe I think too much.
Someone pass me a drink.
sunk cost fallacy is very strong among the deductive crowd, there is always some anecdote to stick to their needle and masks.

My reality doesn't confirm... Friend at the gym told me this morning she knows two people who have already had a third shot.
let's see how they feel in 6 months when it's time for a 4th...
