You Had Your Chance. Now Don't Complain When You Get Sick!

What is wrong with these people?

"Most people in ‘America’s Heartland’ will forgo updated COVID vaccines: Survey. Nearly 60 percent of Americans living in the Midwest and surrounding states say they will not get the new COVID-19 vaccine this year, according to a survey from Emerson College Polling. "

This despite the fact that COVID cases are rising in the Midwest.  I just don't get why you would choose NOT to protect yourself.

"'These findings should be a wake-up call to health communicators, as we can no longer rely on mandates and must engage people in real conversations to encourage them to vaccinate themselves and their families,' said Kenneth Rabin, a scholar at the CUNY Graduate School of Public Health and Health Policy which commissioned the survey."

Yes, these findings should be a wake-up call, especially to the unvaccinated, but unfortunately nobody is listening.  To me, it seems like a childish, spiteful reaction: "Don't tell me what to do, because I'll just to the opposite." 

Or as the old saying goes, "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink."
