It drove me nuts in the early days of the COVID vaccine and some study came out showing that a lot of the people against the vaccine were really just afraid of needles, but had a good chance to get their courage up if the news media would just stop plastering pictures of needles in every story about the vaccine. So, what did the news media do? They just kept right on throwing pictures of needles on every story.
