Because its mostly undefined what long-covid even means. In the worst cases it means organ damage, but Ill bet you anything those are not anywhere near 10-30% of cases. More likely people randomly feel like shit for a while sometimes, like every other year in my adult life.

Swine flu took me several months to fully recover. Nobody made this a topic back then but i know some other people who too had issues for months.
Which is exactly my point - we don't know what or how prevalent the long term effects of COVID are.
Agreed. But I guess I'm the odd-man out to err on the side of "not-fear".

I'm not sure what this means. So you got the vaccine then because you're not afraid of it, right? Or you didn't get the vaccine because you're not afraid of COVID-19?

I am also not afraid really of COVID-19 but I got the vax because I'm also not afraid of that. Mostly I'm afraid I'd get it and then pass it to others where that could have been avoided by me just not being lazy for a second. I don't feel like an odd-man though.
