I wonder how many anitvaxxers

Are antivaxxers because they have a strong hatred or fear of the actual shot.

I honestly believe this is the major reason people have been against vaccines due to childhood trauma of receiving shots as a child.

No one likes getting a shot but the pain is temporary compared to what you are being vacci ated against.

This post inspired by a commercial for a nasal flu vaccine that works like a nasal spray.

Most are preventing children from getting it. So if you're right, it's a displaced fear.

@RosaMarie I mean, i get it. It hurts to have your baby get a shot. You feel badly because they don't understand even though it's in their best interest. For some, that hurt is easier to deal with if you just don't go through with it. But the loss of your child due to a serious illness is even worse,especially kniwing you had every ability to prevent them from getting it.

Sometimes, the idea that the side effects are worse than the disease itself is wild. I don't know how they can make that compromise.

No need to convince me. I'm up to date.

@RosaMarie me too and happier for it with the way everyone has suddenly come down with the sniffles and coughing. Glad I'm not in that group.
