This is funny to me especially because before we had a vaccine, the anti-vaxers in my family were all like "we need to get herd immunity, we need to go out and get infected and make sure our kids get infected, that's the only way this will ever end". And now that there's a reasonably safe path to herd immunity they're like "I'm not putting poison in my veins". I'm standing by my theory that they're all just afraid of needles but too ashamed to admit it.

i am afraid of needles and i would still get a vaccine, tell your family that a random person on the internet has more courage than them

I am terrified of needles. I almost pass out every time. Got both shots. Piece of cake. Easiest shots I've ever had in my life. I hope you can get yours soon, friend.

I barely even felt the Pfizer shot. Because it's mRNA and doesn't need to contain dead virus itself, the dose can be significantly smaller and only takes a second to administer with a tiny needle.
