> I’ll never say this to family who are hesitant to even take the vaccine in the first place

This is precisely the attitude that justifies their suspicion and opposition. It's a form of weird narcissistic paternalism.

If they ever caught wind of you saying this, they'd never trust you again.

And this is how the public health establishment has botched their trust with the public: noble lies, very contorted language and arbitrary advisories instead of "idk", etc.

Don't treat them like intelligent and equal human beings. Treat them like impressionable rubes that are below you. /s
