Study Finds Prejudice Against COVID-19 Unvaccinated Around the World

VySky · Dec 11, 2022

So the modern day bigots are Covid vaccinated people around the world. I question how someone knows if you’re vaccinated or not, but the study used virtual people as examples in a host of questions.

Interesting read.

People who have received COVID-19 vaccines express discriminatory attitudes toward unvaccinated people, a new study of over 15,000 citizens of 21 countries across the world suggests.

“Individuals who comply with the advice of health authorities morally condemn the unvaccinated for violating a social contract in the midst of a crisis,” two Denmark-based scientists wrote in their paper, published Thursday in Nature. “Those who refuse vaccines report that they feel discriminated and pressured against their will.”

To measure COVID-19 vaccination status-based prejudice, researchers asked some 15,233 people how they feel if a close relatives of theirs are going to marry a vaccinated or unvaccinated person—a question that has long been used in surveys on discrimination along racial, ethnic, or partisan lines.

The Findings

Across six countries—Germany, India, Indonesia, Morocco, South Africa, and the United Kingdom—selected to represent both affluent Western and developing non-Western nations, the unvaccinated were found to be disliked among vaccinated people (14 percentage points) as much as people with drug addiction (15 percentage points), and significantly more so than people who had been in prison (10 percentage points), atheists (7 percentage points), or people with mental illness (6 percentage points).

Of course it is.

It's everybody's business who is vaccinated.

That is why schools require proof of vaccination to attend, for example.

As well they should. People who remain unvaccinated volitionally should be denied access to any and all medical care if their illness is due to covid. Don't trust medical authorities? Fine. Cure your own sorry asses.

F them and the horse they rode in on.

So the message is clear. If you want people to like you and appreciate you, get vaccinated.

If you wish to be held in higher regard, get vaccinated.

It's only natural for those who are doing their civic health minded duty to appreciate others who do the same more than those who refuse.

Many have lost loved ones and seen others fight a terrible battle with long lasting detrimental health effects. COVID is serious disease affecting society. People who treasure the society they live in should do their part to preserve that society. Death and illness hurt society. People should do everything they can to stay healthy and not spread disease. Others appreciate that as much as they do not appreciate blowing it off.

Prejudice. If people don't like that they got people around them killed for partisan reasons, that's meanyhead prejudice.

Whatever, @VySky. Stop spreading deadly disinfo to cause domestic disruption in the US.

Peacenik · Dec 11, 2022

Hatred is wrong. Sharing derogatory images of experts like Dr Fauci, who is retiring after decades of public health service under many presidents, deserves to be respected for his service, is wrong. He has earned that respect. Disrespecting him is sharing hatred. It's just as anti-social as refusing to get vaccinated.

It's hard to understand why people who live in a society become anti-social.

Lack of appreciation for the benefits of being part of a society, as one surely does benefit from being part of a society, is very strange. It makes no sense.

The world would be a very rough place if humans never interacted. Lifespans would be drastically shorter. If humans were total loners who never coordinated with other humans we would have virtually none of the modern conveniences of society. No medicine, for instance. Society is fabulous. Humans enjoy our modern lifestyle because of society. Some people just need to realize how much they owe to society. Obviously, many don't. That is messed up.

It's almost like people have an aversion to associating with blatant morons.

But sure, make this about y'all being victims instead of anti vaxxers being stupid.

It seems to me such condemnation is justified. The unvaccinated are not simply unvaccinated -- they have chosen to remain unvaccinated. They ARE being willfully thoughtless in their potential to spread disease. Social contracts are not always laws, but since humans are highly social creatures, social "contracts" have likely been around even before we were human.

Bigotry may be a fitting word.

But prejudice implies that there's judgement ahead of time.
But being an anti-vaxxer already happened before the judgement occurred.

So, I don't think prejudice is the word you are looking for.

Things have changed with the vaccines. The earlier variants were more susceptible to the vaccines and the vaccines were much more effective in reducing transmission and infection. Now with omicron unless you have been boosted with a bivalent vaccine you have very little protection against infection and transmission-and even if you are boosted you can still get covid and spread it. The vaccines remain very effective in preventing severe disease but aren't good at preventing infection and transmission. So if someone chooses not to get boosted, yes, they are stupid, but the consequences of their stupidity fall almost entirely on their own head, and no one will care what happens to them. Getting vaccinated and boosted therefore is a personal choice because that decision doesn't affect others nearly as much as earlier in the pandemic.
JMO.

Unfortunately it does not simply fall on their heads.

Think Typhoid Mary.

I know people who fell for the anti-vax horseshit and put themselves at unnecessary risk. While I largely blame disinformation professionals and right wing asshole politicians, I do think that schools and employers are foolish to not require vaccination during a pandemic. Vaccination records should also be required to go anywhere on a plane.
