I have no plans on taking this bullshit vaccine, but this story doesn't mean anything.
I, personally, have about an 80% of getting light headed or passing out when I get any sort of injection or blood draw. Some of us just don't like needles.
*that said ... Why the fuck are they broadcasting these injections? What is the point? It's just ridiculous theater.
People go down from needles for basically no reason. We had just finished a long ruck and everyone was getting an IV of ringers at the finish line. The moment he got stuck, my 220lbs teammate calmly stated, "going down," before he and his 55lbs ruck collapsed on this poor 100lbs nurse. Her arms and legs were sticking out like a cartoon. No one could help the poor girl because they were laughing too hard.
That usually happens before or during the injection though, this was supposed to be 10 mins after. Still it's just one case and people do faint from needles all the time. I don't expect any of these televised injections to be that dangerous, because the reason they do them at all is supposed to be installing confidence for people to get it.
I hate to defend this stuff, but I'll say 10 minutes after is still risky for me to walk after getting blood drawn. But I don't give a fuck about needles or pain, it's a blood phobia. I act like a child getting it done and then I have to hang out for a while because passing out and waking up cold, wet, and confused on the floor is really unpleasant (the staff don't like it either). Though I have a history of blood issues and am on blood thinners.
Now you know what propaganda looks like in the wild.
And yeah, I hate needles too. At least I've already gone through the "waking up full of tubes with a breather in yer face" worst nightmare scenario thing. I guess I can take them without being a big baby any more, but I still try to avoid 'em. And I'll never understand the weirdoes who do it for fun. There's other ways to get high that don't risk the shit that poking yourself exposes you to.
I did take this year's flu shot when I got my prescription renewed a month or two ago, though. My reasoning has to be that, well, if I do get sick, I don't want the flu getting confused for the wuflu. Cocksucker did give me the muscle pains and shit this time, though. Never did before. (I usually take it every other year if I remember. Sometimes I forget.)
And I did get my childhood shots updated, because whooping cough went around here recently. Fuck that noise, my mom told me about how unpleasant that shit was. Crap, when I last got my booster in grade 7, either they didn't tell us we had to do it every 10 years, or we didn't listen. Yep, they used to give it to us in school.
I'm still not taking this shot, though, not until everyone else has and it's been a while.

which I no longer interpret as a benign act

Probably means nothing, still fucking funny that it happened right during their vaccine dog and pony show.
Found the nail and hammered it all in one.
