I honestly think this is true for a big percentage of them. Parents who went through needle trauma as a kid (and I had some seriously painful shots, so I can relate) and are eager and happy to find an excuse to not put their kids though that. For years, as an adult, I had to psych myself up and distract myself as best I could to not faint while getting shots or blood drawn, which is ridiculous, I know. But honestly, needles these days are so thin that I don’t remember the last shot I had that I could even feel, much less be traumatized by.
