Well, negative advertising seems to help stop smoking. Will it work here?

Publicity stunt near NFL stadium gave stark message to the unvaccinated[^]
Quote:
A truck claiming to be from a funeral home was emblazoned with a blunt message Sunday while driving around Bank of America Stadium, where the Charlotte Panthers were playing the New Orleans Saints: “Don’t get vaccinated.” It remains unclear who might be behind the scare tactic urging people to finally get vaccinated against COVID-19. The website for the “Wilmore Funeral Home” on the truck takes people to a site that simply says, “Get vaccinated now. If not, see you soon.”
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!
I mentioned this in another thread, a friend of mine and his kids and his parents all got Covid recently and they were ALL fully vaccinated. Covid vaccinations can help, yes, that is obvious. But you and most other people need to stop acting like this vaccine is the best thing ever and is critical to the survival of the human race. It just isn't that good. Take it if you want and then who cares if other people get it or not. You're protected.

Is that a warning or a threat? :~

Neither. It was a tongue-in-the-cheek statement not to be taken too seriously. :)

So was mine :laugh:

If that's how it worked, then it's a problem that would simply solve itself given enough time.
Indeed there is no reason to keep trying to convince, cajole and coerce people into vaccinating. Those who do won't get long covid or die, those who don't will - their loss. I understand coercing people in Italy, where social welfare is pretty good and health service is free* and an inalienable right - it avoids a HUGE cost to society to try and save suicidally dumb people. In some other countries... eh, if they want to end up financially bankrupt to pay for weeks of ICU and/or eventually dead or crippled for life under their own expenses, let them. Who cares. * For the individual but it's paid through taxes so it's paid by every productive member of society.

A threat is technically a warning. And everybody knows technically correct is the best kind of correct.

Two wrongs to try to make a right. The state monopolizes health care and then justifies taking away yet more freedom on the basis of cost savings? It's all political, else they wouldn't bother treating people who are obese, addicted to harmful substances, catch sexually transmitted diseases...

A former colleague of mine was a smoker. He would buy a pack of cigarettes and very carefully transfer them to a tobacco tin and throw away the packet they came in. When I asked him why he did this he showed me the old packet which had a very graphic photo of someone's blackened, cigarette damaged lungs. He said "they keep putting these photos on the packet and it puts me right off smoking, so I throw away the packet". Some people you will never convince!!

The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing.There is no health monopoly in Italy, we have plenty of private clinics and they will be more than happy to take your money. But we actually recognise health as a sort of basic human right and everybody is entitled to it, no matter what. If you can and want, sure, pay up and go to the best doctor there is, if you can't, you probably won't get the best treatment but you will at least get treated. At least we don't have people screaming "don't call the ambulance" after an accident around here and you can't get in debt for a visit in the ER, that is free no matter what

In Canada, it's a total monopoly. It's actually illegal to operate a private clinic except for elective procedures. I also lived in the US for 15 years and wouild take their system, flawed as it is, over the one here. Waiting times are rare, unlike here. But having insurance is important because the costs are high as the result of various stupid things that have nothing to do with a free market.
