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 …

Respectfully, I think you're misunderstanding the argument. Many ppl have a "minimum effective dose" preference when it comes to medical interventions and pharmaceuticals. If 2 shots are protective against severe disease and any additional benefit from a booster is transitory...

But for certain folks who think that even just wearing a mask is emasculating, perhaps spreading the notion of anti-vaxxers as needle-phobic would up the peer pressure to vax. At minimum, we could have some fun “needling” them.

Don’t underestimate the powerful pressure to conform to gender roles. I walked into a Mich store in 2020 and was struck that all women were masked and all men weren’t. I was surprised/embarrassed at the pressure I felt to unmask, but I saw an elderly cashier & knew what was right

When we talk about "them", we're talking about us. People have every right to choose not to get vaccinated - choosing what happens to our own bodies is a basic and fundamental human right. Let's respect choice. We're at a very dangerous juncture.https://medium.com/@nathan.munn/the-most-dangerous-moment-7c23747c2fe1 …
