There are other mechanisms of delivery such as oral vaccines. This is a valid reason, phobias need addressing. But plenty of vaccines are available via oral delivery.
Ive had a bone marrow biopsy done. Those are done fully awake with no anesthetic except for the skin incision.
You literally feel the push of the sharp needle cutting through your bone. Slowly. methodically. Half a millimeter by half millimeter every time the practitioner puts her weight on the needle.
Then, as they aspirate the marrow, you feel as if your balls are being sucked into your hips.
Then, despite the pain, I volunteered to sign up as a bone marrow donor.
Please, call me an idiot if you must, but don't explain away my distrust of vaccines with cowardice.
