many would refuse to even look at it, the cognitive dissonance of discovering they were 'wrong', or 'had', even if it was someone else's coercion, is simply too much for some to contemplate. So they just won't go there. That has been the experience of many on these forums. I can't tell you the numbers of people who posted something along the lines of "I am the only one in my family and friends unvaxxed, they all think I am a conspiracy theorist". Try it with your most open minded acquaintance, and be gentle (no 'naive' talk), and back off as soon as they start getting upset. If you know someone with an actual scientific background, you can try showing them data.
