Even a mean person is trying their best, right?
Conceptually it would depend on if they believed the vaccine is a good solution. Unless my textbooks are lying to me about what locus of control is. It's one of those business terms that is used to identify people who are willing to do things outside of their responsibility.
Look for people with a high locus of control so that they will stop at nothing to do X.
Not just applicable to that of course. A doctor who has a will to actually help their patient's health beyond just illness will treat patients when they aren't sick, might even proactively be a member of the community for example. Their locus of control could be so high that they aim to make sure that people get treated before they would get sick for example.
Perspective is limited of course but a high locus of control agent would try to transcend that. But they still only have limited judgement.

It's free, it's for your own good and we have all had vaccinations before so what's the problem? Laziness.
People are quite simply too lazy to organize a time and go somewhere unless it immediately benefits them somehow. On some level they recognize only a complete piece of shit would be that lazy and so rather than doing it they get defensive about it, they justify it to themselves and then they try to justify it to others.
Think about it if you're not vaccinated and you don't want to be vaccinated wouldn't the smart thing to do be to keep your mouth shut and hope this all blows over? Instead they're like vegans they can't shut up about it.
Because they know. They know they're being terrible people but they refuse to admit it to themselves and that's why they keep trying to debate it with others, it's not about convincing anyone else it's about winning the argument against that little voice of doubt in the back of their mind and it will never go away because they know!

(By thread title I was hoping for some grasshopper psychic sorta shite)
Goes either way on both sides. I'm not getting it now, by choice, maybe in a few years I will. Disease has been with us through the ages, I see no reason to inject something into me that has been on the market for less than two years. Others choose not to get it based on medical advice, like those with immune deficiency syndromes who already had the wu-flu.
Some don't trust governments and pharma companies etc. (I'm somewhat in this camp, but it's not the main contributing factor, it just so happens that I didn't trust them before the attack of the bat buboes)
I guess you'll get folk who are purely lazy, but overall I believe that there are good reasons to say no. To each their own tho, this has been another example of the global populace becoming politicized about something that is ultimately about personal choice(like abortion and euthanasia.) Then again, with governments and banks among others actively pushing for it, I guess politicization was inevitable.
Same with those who got jabbed: Some do so utterly by choice, whether altruistic, selfish or practical, others because they might lose their jobs or will be barred from traveling to certain countries, or to get a 'covid pass' or whatever, and others because their parents told them to do it.
This isn't the bubonic plague, panic has been overblown from the start. Do I care if I endanger others by not getting injected with a new medical product? No. I'm living rural anyway, so see if I give a fuck. They're still enforcing dehumanizing mask laws for a disease that will probably be with humanity for a long long time to come(seeing as those with RNA vac can still transmit), many countries have actively sabotaged their own economies and therefore the welfare of their populace(total lockdown vs sequestering only the vulnerable), so right now I don't give two fucks for the narrative.
these vaccines definitely counter the virus, I'm just not getting one anytime soon. does that make me a shitty person? Never said I wasn't one.

Hypothetically speaking how difficult would it be?
How far away is the nearest clinic?
Will you have to wait in line?
Do you need to book an appointment or can you just show up?
Are they charging you for it?
Of course I can't fact check any of your answers, you're living next door and using a VPN for all I know, but if you lie you'll know.

I think them not taking the vaccine is internal locust of control.
They feel they have their fate in control, and by extension want to make their own decisions.
They also might be people who mistrust authorities on principal.
Another culprit is political bent and power-play these companies make which are not that subtle, and heavy political involvement.
It might also be a type of mindset where some might feel like not going with the herd makes them feel safer or special. Which ever or both.
Being egotistical could play role, but I have a suspicion that was wrong guess.
I used to think this, but essentially what is going on is that being egoist could just as well mean you get the vaccine. Especially if you value your life.

@Cognisant I haven't looked into it, but the process is relatively straightforward, and doable if I were so inclined. It's not a question of accessibility/expense/motivation but rather prudent selfish choice. In the end I don't fear the virus, I don't ascribe to taking actions for a greater good, and that's about it. In a few years I'll probably get a true vaccine for my own sake after adequately informing myself about the choices in supplier, but as of now I won't.
I'm cool with people taking it or not taking it, ultimately folk have agency and their choices are theirs to make, ideally without coercion from government/corporate/society(though realistically coercion forms part of everyday life in most spheres.)

Lol I do that, well except for Elden Ring.
Five years is just about the sweet spot between old enough to have received all the patches and mods it will ever get, but not so old that it won't run well on latest generation hardware.
I hate paying full price for a brand new game that's practically still in alpha.
