Ask HN: How to go about 'what about long term side effects'?
3 by me_me_me | 7 comments on Hacker News.
My brother (29 electrical eng), who I have very good relationship, has refused to vaccinate. He and his wife claim that they are afraid of long term side effects. When pressed a bit it seems that the concern here is that they are trying for a second child and are afraid of becoming infertile due to the jab. Though it might be just a smoke screen to drop the subject. I am not good with emotional appeal arguments, and this seems like pure facts might not be enough. So maybe suggest emotional argument angle? I probably have one shot at trying to convince them to vaccinate so I am looking for possible any possible advice. PS Some talking points I am trying to use: I have read papers on pregnancies and COVID vaccine - surprise nothing found. Long term effects of vaccines would already show up Delta and future variants are more likely to infect them even when self isolating Covid death rates and Covid long term issues vs unknown mystery long term side effects of vaccine.
