I am actually in favor of doing a little fear mongering, if it convinces the unvaccinated to get the vaccine and/or saves lives. For example, it might have saved lives that are being lost right now in Missouri due to Delta, if people had been scared into getting vaccinated. https://www.cnn.com/2021/06/24/us/missou...index.html
And it's not fear mongering anyway, to tell the truth. The truth is that some of those who get vaccinated WILL get the disease and may also die from it. Just far less than the unvaccinated.
Also, the J&J will apparently be less effective against Delta, so it does make sense to educate folks as to what the actual risks are and what they might think about doing (e.g., getting a booster or a second vaccine).
Lastly, my version of the message would be: "if you're vaccinated, you're very well protected", so that you're not lying.
