Good news you can use: the vaccines against covid provide robust, sterilizing immunity. That means that when you are fully vaccinated, *you will not get covid at all* and you cannot transmit it to other people.https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/yes-vaccines-block-most-transmission-of-covid-19?cmpid=int_org=ngp::int_mc=website::int_src=ngp::int_cmp=amp::int_add=amp_readtherest …

Ok, we're going to play the "I'm not clicking through game". Here we go. 5,184 people out of 85,000,000 fully vaccinated developed COVID. 7 were hospitalized. 1 died. That's 1 in 16,400 who got it at all. Your lifetime chance of being struck by lightning is 1 in 15,300.

When you are fully vaccinated, you are safer from covid than you are riding in a car, eating, or going outside in the summer by *orders of magnitude*.

Your odds of being hit by a vehicle when you're walking are 1 in 543. You will be safer from getting covid at all than you are going for a walk by a couple orders of magnitude.

The thing is that covid is novel and we've spent a year+ being frightened of it but y'all, you're gonna have to let go of the trauma as best you're able and contextualize the danger in terms of things you do every day that are much more likely to get you.

I have lived with ptsd for nearly 20 years now. You have a chance to head this shit off at the pass. You can keep spreading fear and misinformation that implies that the vaccines don't work and nurturing that trauma, or you can work on letting it go.

Shutdowns and shit didn't change my life, you know why? Because the military was bullshit and nobody was there when this shit started for me to say "yeah it feels like you're gonna die but you're not, so do it anyway".

You are not going to die choosing to believe in science rather than sensationalist reporting that focuses on the literal .00601% of fully vaccinated people who still manage to get covid.

Once you are fully vaccinated, all that hypervigilance and agoraphobia and paranoia that has kept you safe *is no longer adaptive*. It will harden into dysfunction and mental illness and leave you isolated and depressed and miserable.

Replying to @AdmiralHip @NeolithicSheep
Start small and be kind to yourself if you can't resist the urge to turn around. But don't give up. I've had 6 decades w/ anxiety and agoraphobia. Recognition and treatment is better now. If you need help get it. You can do this.
