This pretty much tracks with my experience with eg people screaming in horror because I said I was gonna hug my mom after I got the vaccine as part of the Phase 2/3 trial.

"YOU CAN STILL GET COVID YOU CAN STILL TRANSMIT COVID STAY IN YOUR YURT FOREVER NEVER LEAVE IT OH GOD WHAT ARE YOU DOING" I'm hugging my mom on Christmas, motherfuckers. Because *the vaccine works*.

Please note that I hugged my mom and neither caught covid nor became a superspreader. Because the vaccine works.

In the, I guess kind of admirable, urge to be strictly accurate when speaking to the public, health officials forgot to stress those three little words: the vaccines work.

It stresses me out so bad to see otherwise reasonable people I know to not believe in the vaccine because of how quickly it was developed. Especially when those people are high risk and should get the vax.

The only part that was fast was the approval process. It’s like letting a little kid cut you in line for the bathroom because you know you can hold it better than them.
