A county in Utah is exploring an unconventional approach to encourage COVID-19 vaccinations by examining the correlation between astrological signs and vaccination rates. With traditional methods failing to motivate some individuals—despite scientific evidence, personal losses, and enticing incentives—a health official in Salt Lake County decided to analyze vaccination data by zodiac sign. The hope is that the prospect of fellow Scorpios feeling embarrassed might prompt some to visit a vaccination clinic.
“Now that Mercury is no longer in retrograde, we wanted to share this,” tweeted the Salt Lake County Health Department, emphasizing that the data is based on actual statistics.
According to Nicholas Rupp, a communications manager at the county health department, astrological signs foster a sense of community and competition, motivating individuals to avoid having their sign ranked at the bottom, regardless of their beliefs in astrology.
Astrologer Luna Vega explains that the rankings reflect the personalities associated with each sign. For example, Leos, who topped the list, enjoy being in the spotlight and surrounded by others, making vaccination a priority to maintain their social lives. Meanwhile, Aquarians, who value community and social engagement, are likely to seek out the vaccine for a return to normalcy.
In the third and fourth spots, Aries and Sagittarius are equally sociable fire signs that thrive on interaction, with a strong motivation to get vaccinated to avoid disruptions to their social lives. In contrast, Scorpios, who ranked last in vaccination rates, tend to be more reserved and private, often reluctant to disclose their vaccination status.
Salt Lake County officials clarify that the intention behind this analysis is not to provide scientific evidence about vaccine hesitancy but rather to reignite discussions around vaccination amidst widespread “message fatigue.” Rupp acknowledges that both he and Vega are vaccinated Scorpios, indicating a personal stake in encouraging others of their sign to get vaccinated.
Interestingly, Leos are relishing their top position, with Rupp noting, “They take pride in being number one, and that’s fantastic.” This effort aims to inspire responsibility within the community while engaging individuals in the conversation about vaccination.
