Long time favorite of the thread @Ann_Hedonia, in an analysis of vaccine refusniks:

> [@What IS it with Republicans and not wanting to get vaccinated?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-is-it-with-republicans-and-not-wanting-to-get-vaccinated/954004/274):
>
> It’s an abuser tactic writ large. The victim asks the abuser to do something perfectly reasonable, and he refuses. They concede that request is reasonable, but they refuse based on the way they were asked. They didn’t like your “tone”. They saw you roll your eyes. You shamed them with their attitude.  
> In short, they are refusing to do this perfectly reasonable thing because of something YOU did wrong.

This is partial quote from [What IS it with Republicans and not wanting to get vaccinated? - #274 by Ann\_Hedonia](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-is-it-with-republicans-and-not-wanting-to-get-vaccinated/954004/274), and bonus points for @DesertDog for giving it kudos in thread, but figured I’d share it wider.

But, since we do want to focus on the positive in the thread as well, I’ll close with the first line of the post -

> Oh, I don’t think anyone should go around calling people that refuse to get vaccinated “bad” or “evil”, either. It’s not productive. Neither is the anger.

A good reminder as I (and probably others) head into a holiday weekend (with my in-laws) that fall on the conservative side of the spectrum. Spare myself the frustrated fury, and be glad I got my booster.
