Covid: Tryanophobia — An Extreme Fear of Injections and Needles

“Getting a Covid vaccine will require an injection. For some people, the thought of confronting a needle might be too much to bear, even if there’s a cultural pressure not to talk about it... about two thirds of kids and a quarter of adults have some serious reservations about needles. Within that group, another 10% of people have extreme anxieties and fears... though someone might stress about needles while, also, doubting what’s inside the syringe, fear of the pointy tip alone can easily dissuade some from getting themselves or their children crucial shots... 24% of parents and 63% of children reported a fear of needles.”

Covid: Why Are The Fully Vaccinated Asked To Wear Masks, etcetera

 https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/fully-vaccinated.html

The reasons that one might want to adhere to Covid safety procedures even after being fully vaccinated needs to be explained so that the undecided will not as easily be put off from becoming vaccinated. 

To begin with, it takes two shots and about two months to become ‘fully vaccinated’. So, during that time one needs to continue being careful. After that, even though you’re reasonably safe, if you don’t wear a mask and inhale Covid viruses, even though you likely won’t get sick, the viruses can briefly replicate in your nasal passages while your body eradicates them. During this interlude, you could easily breathe out some of these viruses, hence the desire for continued mask wearing is for the protection of others. Additionally, new variants are coming in to play that current vaccines are not yet proven to be effective against.

In public, other people can’t really know for sure that you’re fully vaccinated or not. It’s simply good manners to respect the concerns of others. Even telling them that you’re fully vaccinated still puts the demand upon them to completely trust you.

As for washing your hands, etcetera, all viruses and germs are passed around freely from hands to surface to hands, et al. So it’s wise to minimize the rate of surface transmission. Once again, it’s for the safety of others who haven’t been vaccinated yet. Plus, this is standard hygiene.

Note: Though Covid-19 is less devastating for younger people than for older folks, continued mutations may alter that. There’s already some drift in that direction. This may seem minor, but it is a major concern — and should provide additional impetus to forge ahead with further vaccine development. Indeed, the world may less than a year to stave off a new round of COVID-19 variants that could evade the existing vaccines. Variants emerge when viruses spread widely, so quickly vaccinating the entire world is the best way to curb new variants. This requires a continued strong proactive international stance. 

Note: Even when Covid is eventually reduced to a nuisance level like influenza is, there will inevitably be other newer pathogens that will require similar safety procedures. That’s why people in Hong Kong and elsewhere were able to hold Covid infection rates down early on — because they’d already battled other airborne diseases. They knew from experience what to do without being told what to do.

Covid: Global Call-to-arms for Vaccinations

A big part of the effort to vaccinate enough people to slow down the pandemic and eventually create herd immunity is a global call-to-arms to prevent too many more contagious and even more deadly variants from coming forth. Antibody resistance in new variants is of major concern, also. The longer the pandemic occurs, the more dangerous our future becomes. 

One example of many, many more: New Covid variant (BV-1) detected at Texas A&M lab shows signs of antibody resistance and more severe illness in young people.

Covid-19: Evolving To Be More Deadly and Contagious

The 1918 flu pandemic was caused by an H1N1 influenza virus. Though the coronavirus Covid-19 is less deadly, it is more contagious. Indeed, note that Covid’s mutant strains are becoming more deadly and even more contagious. This is similar to what happened in 1918 when the influenza virus mutated into the infamous Spanish flu strain that killed 5% of the world’s population.

‘Herd immunity’ induced by people contracting the disease or being vaccinated shall eventually slow down the pandemic. However, increasing rates of mutations shall prolong the pandemic indefinitely. Vaccinations are the reasonable way to build herd immunity and minimize unnecessary suffering.

Note: The longer the Covid pandemic drags on, the greater the number of mutant variations there will be that are less controllable by current vaccines, thus making the pandemic ‘needlessly’ even more serious.

Addendum: If someone is neither ‘immune to’ nor ‘vaccinated against’ Covid and are not properly and consistently wearing a good quality and sanitary face mask while completely following safety protocols, then they are consciously choosing to be a liability to others. Yes, it’s their ‘freedom of choice’, their ‘personal responsibility’ — and their soul.
