When vaccines work, people stop noticing them.
Now that I actually think about it, I don't even remember half the vaccination that I've got in my lifetime. Why? Because they work! Crazy to think about!

perfect vaccine analogy. I’m not sure one exists; no single comparison can speak to all questions, concerns, and enthusiasms about vaccination.
Someone is always going to have a question or concern about it because it is such a new topic with so much information.

“We know that shaming of any kind just doesn’t work,” Cora Scott,
I feel like shaming someone would only make them feel a certain way and not receive the vaccination. Additionally, I feel like they would not listen to the COVID experts bc they already have a mindset of being shamed on.

don’t totally hit the mark
When using an analogy, metaphor, or simile; they are easier for people to remember but they do not always "hit the mark." I feel that the subject of COVID is to big of a subject.

umbrellas block out the rain, sunscreens shield us from burns and cancers, and castle guards fend off raids.

turned to analogies to help
If turning to analogies helps you as a writer and you are good at creating them in your head, you are one step ahead of the game. I know a lot of people who struggle creating analogies while writing.

Everyone is bad at describing the vaccines, including me.
When people think about a vaccine in todays society, I feel that the first vaccine they think about is the COVID vaccine. The COVID vaccine is such a new vaccine that not a lot of people know a lot about it. It is already simply hard explaining and describing a simple vaccine that has been around for years. Imagine the pressure someone would get to try and describe a new vaccine that hasn't been out for a long time.
