Raising awareness about medical anxiety is important & offering accessible vaccinations centres is a must, but this is an awful, uninformed take— I actually find it disrespectful to many people who have needle anxiety, are quite pro-vaccine (majority), and do get vaccinated.

It is a super teeny tiny portion of the population. It is also very real for some. I have a child who faints at the thought or sight of a needle (who is triple vaxxed by the way, it was a real challenge).

Oh it’s absolutely real, but not a major driver of the movement.

Is she actually serious? What’s next? Suggesting Omicron escaped from a lab is a “healthy discuss..” oh wait…

Patient’s family: They had a heroic battle against COVID. They fought so hard and so well. They lost the fight. Me: I took the vaccine. I had a bye week.

Totally agree. My relative, who is so needle phobic she cries and faints and delayed her kids’ childhood vaccines (but eventually did it), got her covid shots thanks to very kind public health nurses. Salt of the earth, those people. Totally unrelated to anti-vaxism!

FWIW I didn't even feel the needle on my first two shots. Like "oh, did you already administer it?" The booster was a tad ouchy, it may depend on the provider who is doing the poking.

It is exploited by that movement, however. I'm sure you've seen the propaganda meme that shows a toy doll with a bunch of hypodermic needles stuck in it, right?

It’s big stretch. Trying to find a simple answer to a complex problem.
