I would also like to figure out how to overcome the media fear porn. I can convince some women I know how dangerous the jab might be, but they are still more scared of the virus. The fear with the TV showing people who died of COVID and repeating the CDC lie that ALL hospitalizations are unvaxxed is stronger than me showing the statistical data on the other side.
Yeah, I haven't quite figured out how to get around that hurdle either.
The trench coat example works sort of decently (more-so with women than men) maybe because guys in trench coats in dark alleys are oftentimes associated with rape, and so if you attach that imagery to an experimental drug, it's an instant "No!' from women due to the emotional response of the image rather than the facts (which is why they care less about the statistics and more about the social stigma).
But like you said, I've still encountered people who defer back to the media fear-mongering, such as "hospitals are over-crowded and the delta will kill everyone!", and they just won't listen to reason so... I'm a bit at a loss for solutions there.
