I'm holding off on taking the Covid vaccine right now, because of my gut feeling about it. (My gut always steers me right).
But my wife keeps bugging me about it, because she's getting hers, and her family has gotten theirs, and showing their proud moments on Facebook, so my wife has fallen for the hype.
She's telling her friends that I'm "scared" of getting it. I'm not scared, I'm just not ready to take it yet.
I'm fed up with it, and I sort of starting to feel like an outcast with her family now.

My gut feeling told me that a 94-95% effectiveness rate was a lot better than staying in hibernation. But not everyone feels the same way. Contrarians gotta be contrary.

Or she just wants you to be safe and healthy. Though with a husband who refers to vaccinations as "hype" and his wife as some kind of chump, maybe she's just tired of your baloney.

It's pretty funny that a man is scared of a little needle. I'll let you in on a secret: The needle doesn't really go all the way through your arm.
My husband pitches a fit every time he has to have blood drawn but when the vaccine became available, suddenly the needle didn't seem like such a big deal to him. He's anxious to resume traveling. The vaccinations make that possible.
Talk to her and let her know how you feel. My families are split about 50/50 on getting on the vaccine and we all respect each other's choices. Thankfully, none of feel shaming any one is necessary - in person, or with strangers on the internet. You do what you feel comfortable with, and please know that there are plenty of people out here who do respect your choice.

He should have talked to her about his feelings before the vaccine ever became available. His health care is HIS choice, not his wife's, let alone her family's. We have a friend who has been an RN for 25 years and is taking a wait and see stance. She is not alone in her view.
Shaming is not going to work. I would take that as having a superiority complex over others. They would get into fight with me. My body. My choice. My family knows this and leaves me alone. They cannot shame me into going to a doctor for a physical let alone a vaccination.
