as part of supply-chain problems that C19 has caused, my laundry is running out of hangers and has a sign in the window,"please bring us hangers." Something I've done for years anyway, but apparently few people do.

You basically forced his brain to notice that there are potentially severe consequences of not getting the vaccine. It's like his brain was shut off to the risks of being unvaccinated, because he was so fixated on the perceived risks of the vaccine.
Psychology researchers should do extensive studies on that two-risk paralysis behavior which has become so prevalent in the pandemic, but is also present in other binary choices such as elections. That's where people are so fixated on avoiding one particular risk or bad outcome, that they ignore another greater risk and consequently increase their exposure to it.
Don't want the vaccine because they're worried about its known and unknown side effects, but they put themselves at greater risk of the known and unknown side effects of Covid which include death.
Don't want to be a guinea pig for a new vaccine, while ignoring that patients hospitalized with Covid are all being used as guinea pigs for the new treatments.
In 2-candidate elections, it happens where somebody won't vote for candidate A because they don't like something they said or did, or because their preferred candidate didn't win the primary, only to end up with candidate B winning who they actually hate more than A.
Imagine you are trapped in a room and you have 99% chances of survival. If you try to escape, you have 0.1% chances of getting killed. If you calculate your risk rationally, you will try to escape, but that's not what many people do. They will rather choose non-action because they don't want to be responsible for the consequence. If they end up getting killed in entrapment, they will accept it as their fate. If they get killed while trying to escape, they will consider that as the consequence of their action.

In my part of Florida- the state leads the country in new cases and deaths, we've had more cases than 40 states combined,- there is little sign of any changes. A few more masks, and the grocery store did return to mandating masks...for workers, but most shops have most workers maskless. The gym has removed sanitizers. Oh yes the county's hospital system is at an all time high in hospitalizations. In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king?

Unless you are in an area that floods in Florida, Fred is going to be a rainy couple of days. Last I saw of Grace she was falling apart but we'll see. Fred's going to cause more problems wherever it winds up hitting amongst LA, MS, AL or maybe the FL panhandle.
