Or why some people don't want a Covid vaccine. From July 2021, but I hadn't read it until today.

"Fortunately, scientists began studying vaccine hesitancy long before Sars-Cov-2 was first identified in Wuhan in December 2019, and they have explored various models which attempt to capture the differences in people's health behaviour. One of the most promising is known as the 5Cs model, which considers the following psychological factors:

Confidence: the person's trust in the vaccines efficacy and safety, the health services offering them, and the policy makers deciding on their rollout

Complacency: whether or not the person considers the disease itself to be a serious risk to their health

Calculation: the individual's engagement in extensive information searching to weigh up the costs and benefits

Constraints (or convenience): how easy it is for the person in question to access the vaccine

Collective responsibility: the willingness to protect others from infection, through one's own vaccination"

Great article.

LOL, for an Arizona kid, the 5 C's will always be Copper, Cattle, Cotton, Citrus and Climate.

What about ... cactus.

I can't overestimate how much the 5 C's were drilled into the heads of those of us who grew up in the 1960s in Arizona. I remember posters in home room, doing book reports (boo, I got cotton, yay, I got cattle). I can literally pop those off like old veterans with dementia can still recite their dogtag numbers.
