Maybe if you are overweight or 60+. For me it is a simple risk assessment between an extremely low risk of getting a bad case of Covid19 and taking an experimental vaccine with unknown long term side effects, and apparently even short term side effects.

It's not a simple assessment at all. Thankfully medical researchers have studied millions of people and published the results, so we know with certainty that the risk of Covid is far greater than the risk of the vaccine.

I understand why it seems scary, but almost half of all humans have gotten a Covid vaccine, some of them almost a year ago.

We have really, really good data.
