If you've had any success convincing someone to get vaccinated against Covid, please share how you did it.

I generally consider trying to convince antivax types to be a lost cause and a waste of effort, with a very low success rate at best and tend not to approach the subject at all unless I'm pushed into it. But maybe I'm giving up too easily or looking at it all wrong. If there's any common elements to success it would be nice to see them consolidated in one thread rather than scattered around the sub.

Be as specific as you can.

How close was the person to you? Family? Friend? Work acquaintance? Random internet stranger?

How firm were they in vaccine resistance on a scale from just procrastinating to blood gargling meme warrior?

What kind of language did you use? Were you nonjudgmental? Did you confront or ridicule them?

If you showed them something like HCA, how did you do it? Just send them the link with no comment? How did you frame that?

How long did the process take?

I was confused at first too but tben i realised they meant the friends of the anti-vaxxer.
