No one wanted to read’ his book on pandemic psychology – then Covid hit
In October 2019, a month or so before Covid-19 began to spread
an Australian psychologist, Steven Taylor,
published
The Psychology of Pandemics.
The stops along the way include prejudices, the role of the media, attitudes to vaccinations, how society manages rumors, and the psychology of conspiracy theories.
not to downplay the significance of the disease
many more people have been psychologically affected
pandemics “are essentially a psychological phenomenon and about the behaviors, attitudes and emotions of people”
“how human factors impact the spreading of disease and emotional disturbance”.
Vaccine hesitancy doesn’t really get at the motivational roots for why people don’t want to get vaccinate
psychological reactance
“rules, regulation, or attempts at persuasion that are perceived as threatening to one’s autonomy and freedom of choice”.
The you’re-not-the-boss-of-me kind of response is seen particularly in people raised in cultures that take pride in freedom and individualism

Part of the reason, he says, is social media and the 24/7 news cycle
The Psychology of Pandemics was rejected by the publisher
“interesting, but no one’s going to want to read it”.
The attitude, ironically, was characteristic of Taylor’s thesis – that people tend to be too preoccupied with the present to plan for the future
We’re going to see recurrent outbreaks of Covid, but the desire to socialize is stronger than the fear of getting infected.” And that is psychology.
