Yeah I've wondered the same thing. I don't have the statistics in front of me but I'm pretty sure that the unvaccinated are on average poorer, browner and more working class than the vaccinated. Which is to say that the same people who don't trust the jabs are generally the same people who have longstanding reasons to distrust a wider society that's weighted against them. It's easy for me, as an affluent middle-class white guy, to say "shut up and do what you're told because the experts know best" - but on some level I really can't blame people from less advantaged demographics for being so distrustful of the "experts". After all, it's not like the governments and corporations pushing these vaccines have always worked in the working class's favour in the past. To be clear, I believe that the vaccines are safe and effective and that everyone should get jabbed. But I can't help but feel like all this demonisation of the unvaccinated is driven at least partly by good old fashioned snobbery and class hatred. "How dare these lower class inferiors not do as we say? Why can't they be smart and sensible like us, the wealthy enlightened?" |
