Walmart Has Been Quietly Convincing the Unvaccinated to Get Vaccinated. Here's Their Secret
MSN ^ | 1/4 | Adam Sohn and Joel Finkelstein

Posted on 01/04/2022 12:49:06 PM PST by nickcarraway

Nearly a year into the largest vaccine rollout in history, the U.S.'s efforts have yielded among the lowest inoculation rates of any industrialized democracy on the globe. Our media and politicians all too often blame the unvaccinated for their hesitancy, casting them as unreachable Trump voting conspiracy theorists who will refuse to accept the facts. It's a view popularized by many who—not coincidentally—advocate for "mandate or bust" approaches.

But is this perspective really born out by the data? Our data suggests that the unvaccinated—even in red states—can be reached.

Our Rutgers-affiliated NGO, the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI), set out to create a data-driven forecast of vaccine reluctance. In collaboration with tech leaders from Google and Walmart, the NCRI developed a large-scale climate model of vaccine reluctance. And what we found was that vaccine reluctance was correlated with a number of factors, including ethnic composition, searches on Google about side effects, wealth and inequality, partisanship in voter outcomes, percentages of health-challenged individuals, and tweets about COVID-related conspiracies.

And profitable too!

I find people much more persuasive when they’re willing to be persuaded that they’re wrong. “Listen to me, stupid” is not a winning strategy, no matter how quietly and sweetly it’s uttered.

Their desperation to get everyone vaxxed is EXACTLY the reason I refuse to do so.

There is some reason they want it so bad and I *KNOW* it is not because they have my, or anyone else’s general welfare at heart.

Lots of money spent. We still “Just don’t care to have it!” Nothing more, nothing less. And, the results sure aren’t helping their case.

Walmart is interleaved with Deep State child trafficking. Search on their mailordering for '$9999 baby', or '$9999 girl' or '$9999 boy'. Diabolical!

I find it troublesome that corporations think they can dictate medical advice to employees.
So I need a “vaccine” from a coronavirus, but I can wear a dress and cornhole a bunch of dudes…

Wal-Mart’s propaganda efforts have NOT worked on me, or MILLIONS of others. We won’t take it, and the evidence for NEVER taking it is mounting by the day.

Registration required for me to "continue reading story."

Ain't doin' that.

So, what does the article reveal?

And what we found was that vaccine reluctance was correlated with a number of factors, including ethnic composition, searches on Google about side effects, wealth and inequality, partisanship in voter outcomes, percentages of health-challenged individuals, and tweets about COVID-related conspiracies.

So what "tricks" do they use to circumvent an individual's vaxx "reluctance?" How were they at all able to find a correlation between an individual's "reluctance" and the tweets he sends (or reads?)?

Regards,

Ask them for their State Licensing Board Provider ID number.
Just in case you would want to make a complaint.
Or are they making health diagnoses and prescribing medical therapy without one?
Hmmmmm?

No Chit Sherlock!

I wonder how much of the $1.7T infrastructure bill $$$$ was spent to figure that obvious one out?-)

I didn’t have to log in, but basically they didn’t bully them, or say they were evil or stupid.

Just think of the stupidity in this. Covid is supposedly raging many months after people were given the shot....but everyone should still get the shot.

When this vaccine/mask frenzy started, I was having a conversation with a friend in a local WalMart and an employee approached us with a flip chart wanting to know if we wanted a free vaccine.

What is this “Vaccine Hesitancy”? For most who have not already dove in or acquiesced, it is more like “No way in hell for the shot.”

No mention here of the highest unvaxxed demographic: African American.
