If you think a simple shot that in the worst case has you feeling kind of off for a few days is comparable to ... taking off your skin, then frankly you are a lunatic.

It's also not as much about my risk if I were to get infected, but me transmitting it to somebody else.

Like say my grandma. She's vaccinated, but she's also 80. In that age group, vaccines might not be enough. Look at Colin Powell. Vaccinated twice, still dead from Covid.

I'm tired of inconsiderate assholes making up elaborate excuses to continue being a risk to everyone cause they don't want the inconvenience of a needle

The biggest thing you can do is get vaccinated and lose like 50 lbs. My grandpa is 85, he got it and it was nothing. He's also not carrying any extra weight and still works and repairs watches. He got Covid at work. I think there's mental aspect and physical aspect. Obviously an anecdote but I think there's few things to take a way.
