I think he is but he's been in college for quite some time so it wouldn't be too far fetched if he took a variety of classes.

Hmm so if I just carry the virus but don't get sick from it, and happen to pass it on to someone else...this is a problem?

I fail to see my motivation for vaccinating myself if I won't get sick from it.

If I get someone else sick without any personal symptoms, it's just my immune system exerting its superiority over theirs.

Natural Selection, I guess we just go the good immune systems. Natural Selection is out there for a reason, its so the world doesnt become overpopulated, but it is now becoming that. Vaccines = needles = no

I never understood fear of needles. Is it an explainable thing, or is it just one of those things that freak you out the way some people are terrified of spiders?

its just a phobia.

I won't watch an injection on myself, but i dont freak out if i need one, same with taking blood.

Did I mention that it usually makes me sick and I stay that way for weeks after, and that I'm fine when I don't get it? I'm sorry if me not getting it because I want ME to be well is an inconvenience for other people, but I have to prioritize.

When I was a little kid (maybe around 5 or so), I went to go have blood drawn. I guess the nurse couldn't find a vein, so she wiggled the needle in my arm for about a minute or so as I was screaming and crying from the pain.

Ever since then, I can't do needles.

I dislike needles as much as anyone, but I'm not particularly afraid of them - people think I'm strange because I prefer to watch the needle go in, disliking surprises - and I'm more resistant to pain than most.

If you don't think about it the problem is minimized.

That's always my strategy, look straight ahead (or down/up). I'm not scared of needles really but I think it's normal for most people to start to sweat a little when they see something sharp and pointy coming towards them.

For me its not really the needle actually piercing the skin, but just the feeling of something getting pumped into or out of my vein, like giving blood, i mean ive done it a few times, but just for like surgery, but i just cant stand it.

Yuratuhl · **Posted:** Sat Oct 01, 2011 4:04 pm

I've never given blood so I've never had the problem of a nurse looking for a vein, but I always watch when getting vaccinated. I also take issue with the notion that needles hurt, because they're almost not big enough to hit nerve. Maybe it's a luck thing, but I've barely ever felt a needle.
