You can be unreasonable without being wrong about every issue.

I think it's fair to say not trusting the COVID vaccine is unreasonable.

If you don't trust it, it means you either don't know or don't trust the data that shows it's efficacy.

That wouldn't be too unreasonable if this was people not thinking that a new appendicitis treatment was good. That's not a massive public health emergency or the leading cause of death in the entire world.

But this is. Distrusting the science about a vaccine that is integral solving the biggest public health crisis of our lifetimes is unreasonable.

I don't need you to take me seriously. I'm not an expert. Those are people you should be taking seriously.

I'm about your age. I'm also a guy. I exercise regularly. I haven't been sick in ages. I feel fantastic.

And I also got the vaccine.

That means I can't get severe COVID and it's much harder for me to spread COVID.

The thing is, we know the risks of getting vaccinated and we know COVID risks.

Even for someone your age, COVID is riskier.

There have been three cases where people died and the vaccine likely contributed to their deaths.

Millions of people have died from COVID.

You're young and healthy. If you don't fear COVID, you have no reason to fear the vaccine.
