Only a dumbass gets a vaccine with a 98.8% chance of surviving it,

Only a dumbass believes there's 98.8% chance of survival across the board. There are several factors that significantly chip away at the survival rate you're quoting:

There's age (over 60) and there are "comorbidities" (other illness) that put someone at greater risk of a long recovery or none at all --- at any age.

These risks include: obesity, lung disease (COPD, asthma), cardiovascular disease (arteriosclerosis, heart valve disorders, heart rhythm disorders, high blood pressure), diabetes, liver disease, existing immune system disorders.

So that blanket 98%+ recovery may be giving some folks a false sense of security. I repeat, the responsible thing to do is encourage people to make the best, informed decision they can make for themselves after talking with their personal physicians.

Stop passing judgment and giving advice on treatment based on your expertise and knowledge.

Most Americans have one of those preexisting conditions unless you happen to be a very young person and you haven't developed one yet.

Gosh, so sorry. The survival rate is now 98.5%. Better rush out for your vaccine.

And there is no possibility whatever that the above might increase the possibility of "vaccine" side effects. If you think about that possibility at all you are an uneducated rube, a jackanapes, mountebank and poltroon.
