I honestly do not get the point about being afraid of getting the vaccine. I hate needles as much as anyone else, (the worst being in the mouth when I have to get dental work done, I just do not like sharp object near my face or anywhere sensitive thank you) But its far less painful than being sick with the shit, which I was prior to the release of the vaccine last year. Having a week of nothing but high fevers, and a hard time breathing among the other issues was not easy to deal with. Hell one of the days my temp rose so high I basically put myself in a tub of cold water to hopefully bring myself down. It technically worked, but the rest of the day my internal temperature was fucked and all over the place. Never had to deal with that before honestly, and I hope not to do that again.
People think that covid is somehow going to get eradicated when it is nearly impossible to do so, the best case you can hope for is a variant that while spreading fast will not have a deadly payload for most of its infected. If its anything like the typical flu then the rate of death will be much lower and be resided to those who have compromised immune systems or older age (or those who prefer tinfoil hats than the vaccine). In the long run most people will probably not even need the vaccine except for those that simply cannot handle getting sick at all. That's why we have flu shots, and above that we continue having flu shots because (shocker) the flu virus also changes up every season. For a lot of people its optional to take the vaccine for that now as most of us can handle it. Covid was something new that the human body was not familiar with, and as a result did things that were different and potentially more damaging the first time around. Future variants however should have lesser impact on most people if things go the way they should. Omnicron shows that this outlook is very much obtainable in the short term.
But hell, if you want to still be afraid of the vaccine, just remember that you put worse things in your body every day whether it be soda, junk food, fast food, anything with caffeine, or if you are a city runt that wonderful atmosphere you are breathing in every moment you are outside. Plus those fake ass cures probably have more dangerous chemicals in them than anything you get pricked in the arm with. All I have to say is, if you want to avoid it then please do the rest of the human race a favor and just down the rest of your favorite fake cure so you do not have to be a problem for the rest of us much longer. The Darwin awards will await you all.
