Some newspapers have created ads with their local health departments. One is The Anderson News in Lawrenceburg, edited and run by Ben Carlson for many years. He reports, "I’d like to think the campaign we conducted with our local health department had something to do with our county being among the top 10 most vaccinated in Kentucky," with 62% of residents and 75% of those 18 and older having had at least one dose of vaccine.
"The focus of the campaign was to have a cross-section of local people appear in the promos, ranging from high-school athletes to older white people, Hispanic people and black people. Seeing their friends and neighbors in these promos spoke directly to them, rather than just another voice from the health and medical communities telling them they need to be vaccinated," Carlson reports.
Barton didn't mention her own editorials, the latest of which concluded, "It’s human nature to be skeptical of new things, whether it’s a novel coronavirus or a newly developed vaccine. In the case of this pandemic, these tendencies are being hijacked by people sowing confusion, distrust, fear and doubt.
Those elected officials working against mandates to protect public health say they are fighting government overreach and protecting individual freedom, without offering any suggestions on how to help keep the public safe and well. Offering solutions is not on the agenda. But it’s also human nature to care for one another. People tend to want to do good by others. In tough times, we link arms to face the unknown. It’s time to protect each other and work together for the greater good. The responsibility belongs to all of us."
