Not surprising considering the fear porn the media thrives on.

I would be scared too if I didn't look past the headlines to the 12th paragraph of a story where it gives the data on actual death rates or severe illness for vaccinated people.
People still believe that getting Covid is a death sentence. Last year if you got Covid, death was a real possibility. And if you were hospitalized, that was virtually a death sentence.
That's not true now. The media still want you to think that though.
