Fear of Needle or Divine Providence ?
"La mayoría de los niños mostraban miedo a las agujas, mientras que las estimaciones de prevalencia del miedo a las agujas oscilaban entre el 20 y el 50 % en adolescentes y entre el 20 y el 30 % en adultos jóvenes" https://t.co/sBuzky11s1
@healthbyjames "The majority of children exhibited needle fear, while prevalence estimates for needle fear ranged from 20-50% in adolescents and 20-30% in young adults." Never forget https://t.co/sBuzky11s1
@maphumanintent Think you're missing one of, if not the biggest contributor to vaccine-hesitancy: trypanophobia aka fear of needles. https://t.co/kPstTFCbOS
One study found that needle phobia was responsible for flu shot avoidance in 27% of hospital workers and 18% of health employees at long-term care centers. https://t.co/sQjPf7jA25
@PrairieWisdom @DrAliSKhan Avoidance of (flu) vaccination because of needle fear occurred in 16% of adult patients, 27% of hospital employees, 18% of workers at long-term care facilities, and 8% of healthcare workers at hospitals. https://t.co/wFyx1Wmlnd

@studentactivism I suspect there's also fear of needles behind the slow pace. Roughly 25% of people have a fear of needles, & every time the media does a story on vaccination they show...needles! https://t.co/BC3M9DHYFm https://t.co/ZO0LMxpuYI
An estimated 25% of young adults in the U.S. have a fear of the slight pain caused by needles called trypanophobia, and that it may lead 16% of young adults in the U.S. to skip getting medical injections. https://t.co/vaKA7V6a0l

@vinyl_staxx @awbraxtonjr @BlackKnight10k Vax hesitancy. I knew that was coming. 🙄 As for needles, fear goes down with age. If that’s your excuse you’re a literal child https://t.co/EXN15UvlSv
At least half the vaccine 'hesitant' are needle phobic and that's okay, but there needs to be a good strategy for letting them climb down gracefully. 27% of hospital staff avoid flu vaccine because of fear of needles. https://t.co/oboUb5VldQ
How common is needle phobia, and does it result in vaccine hesitancy? Needle phobia is so common that there’s even a fancy name for it: trypanophobia. https://t.co/vnDK1KpZc2
@GirolamoMaggio Magari abbinato con questo? https://t.co/iRkF4MgYQE

@xyzdkfe @alexandrosM No matter one's view of Zeynep's tweet, fear of needles is a real thing? And apparently fairly common, too, resulting in avoidance of vaccination, blood draws, infusions, etc. From a pre-COVID (Jan 2019) paper in a nursing journal

Who avoids the flu vaccine because of fear of NEEDLES: 8% of hospital healthcare workers 16% of adult patients 27% of hospital employees I'll bet a significant ant of anti-vax sentiment is ... needle phobia. https://t.co/pzQErQNJ0m https://t.co/aSwiSn5

@CPettinicchi @TheTweetOfRhea However, I found this interesting, suggesting there are those who may not get vaccinated for fear of the needle: https://t.co/TPfIJmOM77
@banfield_jane @McFaul @ceisenstein @MikiKashtan @GeorgeMonbiot @KateRaworth 2/ there are in fact, people who are deathly afraid of needs. It suggest that needle fear can occur in 16% of adults. Consideration should be given to their needs. https://t.co

@HomieCypher @mattyglesias This meta-analysis suggests 20% of adults, with 16% apparently avoiding flu vaccines due to it. So I dont think its unreasonable to suggest something in the 10% neighborhood of covid-vaxx avoiders are doing so due to needle fear

@LaurieJBarnes Trypanophobia (fear of needles) is common, so you're not alone. I run into the "10%" figure all over but many studies suggest it could actually be as high as 25%. Like any phobia it's irrational and uncontrollable, so it's not a moral fail
