Ok #SciComm'ers, I have just learned that a family member "doesn't believe in vaccines" and isn't planning to get the covid vaccine. He's pretty hard headed and I lost my cool in the first conversation, so I'd like to arm myself for the next one. 1/2
As far as I can tell, his concerns "it was developed too fast" and "he doesn't want to put that shit in his body".

I need tips to dispel these and other myths!
Here's some info on the first concern, some of which I included in my arguments (the rest is new to me) https://twitter.com/Kat_Arney/status/1334464932813955072?s=19
Whether he heard it is another matter...

Related, how do y'all keep your cool in such situations? Because he'd be putting other family members at risk, I definitely did not keep my cool. I'd like to do better next time
