I'm posting this to ask about how to deal with vaccine fears in my extended family.
My father-in-law lives in El Paso and has stated he will not get the vaccine, his wife has already gotten the vaccine because of her risk factor.
He shared a video with us last night of all the "fake injections/vaccinations", just a montage of videos where it looked like they weren't actually being vaccinated.
I shared this fact check article with him about retractable needle technology, which covered quite a few of the "fake injections" https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-factcheck-miramar-retractable-needle-idUSKBN28X2FU
But then I found the article in the OP, and I'm at a total loss for wtf happened here. 5 El Paso nurses are set up to get the vaccination on TV, but 1 of them clearly does not get the injection, and the hospital comes back and injects him a "2nd time" after people notice?
Why is the hospital offering a zero explanation for this event? Did the nurse agree to the injection on tv then change his mind last minute? Did the person administering the injection just fuck up? Did they grab an empty syringe by accident and not notice?
Seems hugely irresponsible to offer no explanation for this fuck up because now people like my father-in-law use that as a reason to not get the vaccination, and share the video with their entire extended family to discourage them as well.
