I just don’t get hesitation to get vaccinated among older people. I know it happens, but I’ve never known anyone to suffer ill effects from a vaccine. I’m old enough, however, to have known multiple people suffering life-long effects from diseases that could have been prevented by vaccines, had they existed. From being deaf in one ear, to crippled by polio, that shit should stick with you. All of the age groups in TFA are as old or older than I am, they should know better.
Slightly more understandable if they have Newsmax/Fox News blaring on the TV all day, every day, and The Man On The TV sez "vaccines are dangerous!!", and social media hypes up the same kind of content
