Hello, would you like to participate in a research project to help judge the public's willingness to be conned, coerced, ridiculed, or shamed into taking one of our worthless vaccines? If so, we would like to speak with you.
We are preparing a test to determine the best way to convince the public to poison themselves. Among the approaches we are considering is the use of guilt, embarrassment, and anger, along with accusing anyone who doesn't fall into line with our program of being ignorant, selfish, and cowardly.
Would you like to help us?
We can't afford to pay you, however, we do promise that you will be first in line when it comes time to poisoning the public.
If you wear a face mask while driving or while inside at your home, we would like to talk with you.
If you have ever snitched on your neighbor for sneezing or called 9-1-1 to report fellow citizens not living in fear, you just might be our ideal candidate.
Call now, operators are standing by: 555-SHEEPLE. No experience or intelligence necessary.

Other: Trust in science message 1/15 of the sample will be assigned to this message about how getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is the most effective way of protecting one's community.

Outcome Measures Go to sections Primary Outcome Measures : Intention to get COVID-19 vaccine [ Time Frame: Immediately after intervention, in the same survey in which the intervention message is provided ] This is a self-reported measure, immediately after the intervention message, of the likelihood of getting a COVID-19 vaccination within 3 months and then 6 months of it becoming available. During analysis, responses among those assigned to different intervention messages will be compared to those in the control group.
Secondary Outcome Measures: Vaccine confidence scale [ Time Frame: Immediately after the intervention, in the same survey in which the intervention message is provided ] This is a validated scale. This scale will be used to assess the impact of the messages on vaccine confidence. (Outcome assessed only for the half of the sample that answers these items post-treatment)
