Abdul, great article. I think I have given up on some family members and friends. I think the issue also is exposing a deeper schism within our country over where do you get your information and whom do you trust. If your info is coming from you tune or an obscure website then I am going to have a hard time of trying to convince you of anything related to Sceince. Lastly, I believe the other important factor is humility, I know that I do not know hardly anything about vaccines, I read but I am not a scientist so I have to lean on folks I trust.

Appreciate you, Hud! The point you make about the polarization not just of our opinions, but of our sources of information is critical. When you decouple information from fact, you fundamentally unteach the basic epistemological foundation of reason. The humility and empathy point become the only way forward to winning people’s emotions to win their minds. Thanks for reading!
