About
You Don't Need to Worry About the Vaccine is a phrasal template used to mock concerns some may have about the COVID-19 vaccine. The meme states that other activities may be more detrimental to one's health or privacy than the vaccination (similar to Do Not Worry About Biden's Tax Plan). The template reads:
If you X, then you don't need to worry about the vaccine.
Origin

The tweet received more than 424,000 likes and 41,000 retweets in less than two weeks (shown below).
