I had an almost identical conversation w a very smart, healthy 50-year-old physicist relative in summer 2022 (!!!) who was so relieved he got the vax before getting infected because he would have had a 2% chance of dying. Unlike your experience, when I sent him the studies and stats he ghosted me. In 99% of my attempts to expose panicking Pauls to real data all I get is a blank stare/no response. That’s what really scares me...

I've found the same thing: I've been able to persuade my close friends when speaking face to face, but email and social media posts have got me nowhere. The isolation of lockdowns inhibited normal discourse and polarised the issues: text is very inferior to human face to face comms.
