Oh God that anxiety when the printed directions tell you to turn right in 3.5 miles, and you feel like you’ve gone about 5 but you’re not sure, and maybe that slight split in the road counted as a right turn, and now you should be moving on to the next step but you’re not quite sure…
I don’t frequently have these kinds of debates in public, but the closest I’ve ever gotten to talking a vaccine skeptic out of their position was when I came from the angle of, “these shots are free because insurance companies know they work, and they would rather eat the cost of 100 vaccines than have to pay for every hundredth person to be hospitalized with the flu for 3 days, which costs THEM $40k.”

This is not true where I live and grew up as a volunteer firefighter (small towns around Northeast Pennsylvania). Nobody from the high schooler jr. firefighters, to the chief got paid for anything.
Also Syracuse. And Marathon is in the map area but not labeled at this zoom.
