      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 …

      Do you see the context in which it is responding to a particular person and type of argument? I wrote a long article on the myriads of reasons for lack of vaccination for the NYT. Obviously not saying it’s a broad major driver for everyone.https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/15/opinion/covid-vaccines-unvaccinated.html …

      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

      For sure, my NYT article goes on and on about mistrust (deliberately fostered by politicians/grifters, medical experience/trauma, insurance issues, etc.) as key issue, and needle phobia is but one factor and id'ed as such—still a thing in the mix. But my tweet wasn't about that!

      I responded because the quote tweet is clearly misrepresenting even the tweet, let alone my very public views on this, and kinda weird wasn't corrected but happens.🤷‍♀️Quote-tweet is great for lazy dunking, which doesn't matter to me tbh, but I believe in politely engaging, once.😀
