By "SAVANT", I mean "Sorry Anti Vaxxer And No Transplant." There are people who face certain death if they don't get an organ transplant. They're told they cannot get the organ transplant they desperately need unless they get vaccinated against covid first. They refuse to get the covid vaccine because it's not 100% safe.
OPTION 1: Vaccine: 99.9% safe
OPTION 2: No vaccine = no transplant: 0% safe
Anti-vaxxer: "I'll go with Option 2 because Option 1 is not 100% safe!"
Can anyone understand this "thinking"???? If you can, please explain it to me.
I think it’s multiple things. First is their cognitive dissonance. They have to reject evidence they were wrong. So they cannot be wrong about the vaccine safety. They must continue that thinking or else all of their suffering is worthless. Also this bleeds into self identity now. So many have planted their flags that they have to stick with it for their cult membership to remain intact. And, third, many are fundraising off of this and hope to circumvent the system by getting enough $ to go elsewhere for transplants. I am sure some have even vaccinated and are just grifting.
