Read on Twitter
I’m just going to throw out a thought, which I will 100% regret because I am a woman on Twitter dot com and expressing a thought is a mistake 100% of the time here

I’ve spent the last two months watching super self-congratulatory, able-bodied people snark about “idiots” who are scared to get the vaccine
I’m scared to get the vaccine https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤷♀️" title="Achselzuckende Frau" aria-label="Emoji: Achselzuckende Frau"> I’m scared to get every vaccine. I am not going to share my detailed medical history with you, Twitter, but I’ve had *seriously* bad reactions to probably 80% of the vaccines I’ve had in my life
And I seeeee y’all laughing and rolling your eyes at the suggestion that just B E I N G K I N D to vaccine-hesitant people might be a good thing
But here’s the thing: tonight, I told a friend about my feelings and fears. And she was kind to me. And *because of that* I’ve decided to get vaccinated and just deal with the consequences
And yes, I know I am one person. I know this is an anecdote. But because one person wasn’t the kind of smug self-righteous little shit that is so wildly endorsed on Twitter, one more person is going to get vaccinated https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤷♀️" title="Achselzuckende Frau" aria-label="Emoji: Achselzuckende Frau">
So maybe consider the possibility that some things matter more than how many ‘likes’ you get? And be kind to people who have experiences, bodies, and fears that are different that yours?
(Okay yeah plz don’t respond to this thread by telling me about your cousin who felt flu-y for a week, I am truly sorry that happened but for some of us that is the Very Best Case scenario)
