I'm pretty sure that "easier" is a subjective determination. But no, I don't have a hard time swallowing pills. It's just that doing something once a week is easier than having to remember to do something everyday. The injections are also more effective for me, as they are here. And finally there's an aesthetic aspect to plunging a needle into one's muscle that I appreciate.

Yes, it’s subjective to some extent, hence why I asked in what way is it easier beside you just saying that it is? I left out “to you” but I thought the HN community was a bit smarter than that. Even if you had said “it’s easier to me. Full stop,” I still would have written the same reply...

All you said was “it’s easier” in your original point. You obviously felt the need to clarify yourself in your most recent comment. So clearly your first comment was lacking information. There was no reason to downvote me just because you felt my original comment made you look stupid.

FWIW, even though “easy” is subjective, there’s still a consensus to be considered. For example, finding piercing your skin with a needle to be an asthetically-pleasing act does not fit that consensus...

Something that _does_ fit the consensus is that taking a pill every day is a hassle.

Stop being facetious just to prove a point.

I did not downvote you, for the record. I thought your questions were useful and I hope I answered them to the best of my ability.

This pandemic has been hard on all of us. Take care.

? I’m not sure what the pandemic has to do with this.

I looked at your comment history and you say “in fact” without supporting your opinions _often_ to the point that I laughed.

Also, you edited your original comment which probably led to the downvotes.

I’m assuming you must also correlate the pandemic with your immaturity then.

It’s disgusting that I’m being downvoted when the main point in my great-great-grandfather post was explaining about the effectiveness of the trial mentioned in the article. Not whether some random Internet weirdo prefers to inject themself...
