As someone who has been trying to fight antivax rhetoric since long before COVID, this is an absurd take. While fear of needles is real, it is absolutely not a significant driver of the anti-vaccine movement. https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1468630151542026246 …

As the person with needle anxiety featured in the article you referenced about Canada, I can assure you greater accommodations for needle fear is NOT the driver of Canada's relatively higher vax rates. Most don't know accommodations exist (why I agreed to the article). but... 1/2

But perhaps because healthcare is more accessible in Canada we have more trust & that's a driver. Maybe. More interesting though: adult needle anxiety may stem from medical traumas. Prior trauma in medical institutions (not needle fear) probably more accurate driver of distrust
