27. Covid Vaccine Anxiety

You’ve probably heard about the covid vaccine. And you’ve probably heard that it’s stirring up a lot of intense emotions from both sides of the argument.
There are people out there that have come to a screeching halt at a red stoplight, and some that are hitting the accelerator to their green lights and getting in line for the poke. But maybe you’re somewhere in between? Maybe you are in the yellow. That unsure space. Or maybe you’re red and you’re terrified.
Is the COVID vaccine giving you anxiety?
When it comes to COVID Vaccine Anxiety, there are many aspects that may be troubling to people:
Some are anxious about how fast it came out
There’s fear of unknown long-term side effects
Stress about a foreign substance being injected into your body
Fear of needles
Fear based on a lack of information, education or even from Misinformation.
There’s a lot of information out there, and some of it is true, and some of it is not true. But here’s the thing:
You’re not going to find the ultimate truth by digging deeper and deeper in reddit threads or the rabbit hole of vaccine debates on google. Sometimes research creates a good objective end of the sentence conclusion that says YES or NO absolutely.
But when it comes to the COVID vaccine we just don’t know everything. A lot of it boils down to personal choice.
When people make absolute declarative statements about the vaccine from either side, you must take the vaccine, or the vaccine is a hoax, each sides of the isle are taking a position of faith based on their education on the topic, and with respect to their cast of characters that form a foundation for understanding and interpretation of what they are hearing and learning.
