It is more complex than either you or the anti-vaxers make it. A healthy person in their 20s has extremely low risk of dying of COVID anyways. Even in my 60, my odds of survival are around 99.5%. And it is harder to catch than most people realize. I’ve had 4 friends where one spouse caught it and the other did not, even while living as man & wife during quarantine.
So many are justified in not taking an experimental vaccine for something that has almost no chance of harming them anyways.
OTOH, for those 70+ or with significant co-morbidities, the date rate zooms and they’d be stupid to skip the vaccine. Which may be why 75% of people 65+ in Arizona have already taken the shot. 55% in my age group, just below 65.
And I don’t care IF ANYONE takes it. Their choice. BOTH WAYS. I expect to get my first shot next week. MY CHOICE and I don’t appreciate people attacking me for it. But I’ll also defend those who refuse to take it. Let folks make up their own mind.
I strongly suspect the vaccine will prove to offer at least a few years of significant improvement. It is likely to become an annual shot for those over 75.
Agreed. This is as it should be!
