    I'm imagining a chud who gets bitten by a bat and when they find out the rabies vaccine is like 5 shots, assumes it's a scam and refuses altogether

    Uh, does he know that 2 thirds of children and about half of all adults in the US (and up to 75% in some countries!) already take flu vaccines every year?

    And I mean that in earnest: does he know? Because you have to spend way too much time inside and not talk to people to be unaware of that.

      one of the few silver linings of COVID is that pandemic countermeasures appear to have killed off one of the four main strains of influenza, making future flu vaccines more effective

      well, you miss 100% of the shots you don't take. therefore he misses a lot.

    Do these people just think people who need to inject medicine all the time (some diabetics for example) have some sort of moral failing as well? Like I've noticed this with TERF shit as well, shaming somebody for using needles frequently for any reason, so fucking weird.

      Just trying to figure out what they think the influenza vaccine is about.

      Yeah in poor countries like mine we still get those shots that leave a permanent mark like a tiny deep burn. But only one or two. Source: my arm

      That's the BCG. It's against tuberculosis and leprosy.
