There seems to be people who are convinced getting infected is some sort of heroic effort, and vaccines are for the weak? I increasingly suspect this may be driven in some by fear of needles, which is exactly why letting people know this is a common condition is important.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1468628813710041091 …

If the beef is immunity from natural infection hasn't been taken enough into account in policies and messaging. Sure. I've agreed with that all along. But vaccines help even those with prior infections and infectious diseases are a risk to others. It's not heroic to avoid a dose.

People don't know any history. Perhaps the core story of that "more enlightened" 20th century has been an immense effort and the wholesale transformation of our societies to lessen the scourge of infectious diseases, which stalked humanity forever.https://twitter.com/tristaneldritch/status/1468641821878362121 …

Yes, I wish we lived in a world where squashed the early outbreaks with effective mitigations, and then quickly got enough vaccines to vaccinate globally. Letting the virus continue to explore the whole @#$! fitness landscape like this really wasn't a good idea. But here we are.

Agree! Was only talking about people who declare loudly and act like it's an act of heroism to avoid vaccination, like the person who is quoted. I'm getting some of that in my mentions. It seems like some of them are just afraid to admit a fear?https://twitter.com/MCBazacoPhD/status/1468663573954146310 …

I kind of wonder how many more people would get vaccinated if the promotion strategy shifted to calling the hesitant babies and cowards who are scared of a widdle needle

Wtaf? I 'earned' some of my antibodies in March 2020. By being so ill I thought I was going to die, alone and unable to get medical help. I still haven't recovered. You can bet I reinforced those antibodies with vaccines as soon as I could...
