I don’t think it takes overconfidence to realize that if someone is more afraid of the vaccine than the virus, then they aren’t afraid enough of the virus to care that much about distancing
Again, you're making wide leaps with assumptions. I said vaccine was an unnecessary risk. If catching the virus was like winning a lottery after playing 1000 scratchers, getting the vaccine would be like someone giving you the lottery prize. At the end result of vaccine or the virus, you still end up getting sick with the symptoms of the virus.
Now, the article claims that you get sick with the virus from the vaccinated. It's drawing the mental picture that someone who was given the lottery prize is giving you some of that prize money. Whether you're afraid or not of the virus, getting sick from it would suck nonetheless.

And if you had any fears that the virus might kill you, then you wouldn’t view the risk as unnecessary.
Getting sick with the cold sucks, but that didn’t make you afraid to go out in public during cold season
Again with the assumptions. I'm not making this debate about me. It's about how some of the readers would perceive it. I have my own reasons for or against the vaccine or the virus. I'm speaking on behalf of the people who may be unreasonably afraid of other people for one reason or another due to their own understanding.
