You're ok with a 1 in 50 chance of dying?

I know that people can have difficulty interpreting probabilities, but given the outcome, you don't think those are really terrible odds? Of course the medicine also has a risk profile but it's clearly much, much lower.

Also it should noted that even when covid doesn't kill you it can have debilitating effects that linger or are permanent.
