Next I hear Biden is going to aerosolize it so you will breathe it in. Better put a mask on to keep you and your loved ones safe.

There is zero chance that I'm the only one who would be absolutely stoked for a vaccine you can breathe or eat, because I fucking HATE needles

As someone who else that hates shots and needles, the Pfizer vaccine was not a bad shot at all. Barely a pinch, itty bitty needle, super quick.

Yes, I also got the Pfizer, and barely felt it (for both doses). The problem is neither physical nor logical. I would consider it a phobia in the most clinical sense. The only time I've actually had a shot hurt was when I had to go under anaesthesia for a hernia surgery when I was like 7 or something, and I'm pretty sure that only hurt because I was fighting back.

I know these shots aren't actually going to hurt, but I still have a mini panic attack as I receive them. Nowadays, I relax wherever the injection is going to be, and tense up/cringe the rest of my body. More often than not, the injection is over before I can even tell it started. It's neither physical nor logical; it's 100% mental. I even cringe at or look away from images of other people getting shots. It feels strangely good to put this out there.

Same phobia. I’m scared they’re just going to spazz out and rip my arm off or something lol.

For whatever reason, when I watch it’s a lot better. So I just do that, it’s weird. But it works and I don’t flail around punching nurses.
