If you haven't read my thread on how fear and anxiety are driving off-label use of drugs...
I now want to talk about how fear and anxiety are leading to inappropriate assumptions about the vaccine and witch-hunting anyone who disagrees with you as being "anti-vaxxer"

In our practice we have recommended many patients get the COVID vaccine despite unknown unknowns and unclear adverse event profiles like clots with JNJ and myocarditis with mRNA.
These discussions and decisions are between patients and us as their advocates...

In any case, what I have noticed among the pro-vax, pro-mask, pro-mandate crowd is that they have let FEAR and ANXIETY drive there decision making.
Its like the flip side of the same coin regarding people using alternative treatments

These people are so frustrated and anxious they want to assume things we just dont know.
For example, a close friend of mine today called me anti-vax for questioning the idea of vaccinating all children to "prevent community spread"

They want to believe that vaccinated children as a population will do good for all of the community and this has theoretical grounds.
But also on theoretical grounds, it could cause more myocarditis (with no clear understanding of longterm implications) than it does any benefit

People want to believe that run-of-the-mill masking in public will decrease spread
And while its true that close contacts and operating rooms and TB wards this may be true, I am not certain we know this is true
Some could argue that masking is rampant in-step with COVID spread

And I think that these people are SOOO Anxious and scared they are agreeing to force others into accepting risks that they are comfortable with. Forcing masking, vaccines and passports in a hegemonic fashion all on "theoretical" grounds.
So while many find it easy to LAUGH at people taking HORSE DEWORMER... many also LAUGH at how easily people GIVE AWAY THEIR FREEDOMS for a false sense and the "hope" of security.
Two sides of the same anxiety, frustration, fear COIN.
