During COVID I had a friend who refused to get vaccinated, or vaccinate his kids because "if I get the shot, it's not like COVID will go away".
He could only be convinced to get it if I could find a way to quantify the level of benefit to his personal life.
It's infuriating to have someone with this style of logic. Nothing should be done, unless it's perfect from the start.
People are surprisingly dumb.
The trick is for one to realize they are people and then to find their surprises.
Sounds like a healthy dose of nothing should be done unless I see immediate benefit for myself.
