So if you’re under 60 and healthy, covid is safer and better than the vaccine?

No. I have seen healthy young athletes die if covid rather horribly. Young and healthy people do get it abs get very sick. Even if you don’t die from it a couple weeks in the ICU is no picnic either

Prevention is always superior to cure. So, in a word, no

The vaccine uses messenger RNA to get cells in your body to produce the spike protein that is on the COVID virus. This is to train your immune system to recognize and build immunity to the COVID virus. If your dose of the vaccine is successful, this can eliminate or greatly reduce the virus' ability to infect you.

The virus uses messenger RNA to get cells in your body to produce more full viruses - this is how viruses reproduce in your body and spread the infection. This comes with potentially very serious illness and potentially death.

The difference is clear.
