    I dunno about can’t, but most people seem stuck on the won’t part.

    Like every single member of your family being already dead, and it being your fault, and now you have the disease too and have decided retroactively that you would like the vaccine now, except that’s not how that works and now you are going to die as well, leaving your kids behind as orphans.

    Now see if you can guess which disease I even mean - hint, you probably think you know, but keep going and you can come up with more than a handful without too much effort, and with a bit more thinking even a handful of entirely distinct categories (edit: for the latter I mean leaving behind the literal definition of “vaccine”).

    We would do much better if we would fear more than we currently allow ourselves to, collectively as a society I mean.
