Nothing quite as satisfying as screwing yourself.

Yeah, whatever. If you'd like to be a test subject for big pharma with a vaccine against a mutating virus, feel free. I'll no gainsay your decisions on such things.
The problem is that there is a huge contingent of totalitarian folks both here and out in the real world that want to enforce their will upon everyone. Not even the covid alarmists and bedwetters hiding under their beds with their pacifiers are disputing the fact that the vast majority of folk who get it, will experience little more than a bad cold. All of this crap is being done because of a small percentage who might have a less favorable outcome.
For myself, I'll trust in the robustness of my own immune system. Back when the West Nile virus was the bugaboo of the day I picked that one up while on vacation with my wife. It was, without a doubt, the worse infection I've ever had. Was feeling fine before noon, and by 2pm, I was in bed barely able to move. It was nasty, and from what I understand, some folks spent months in the hospital because of it. For me, I missed a whole day of work, which is in itself pretty unusual.
So yeah, I'll trust in my immune system. If my late wife were still with us, I'd be doing everything I could to protect her, because cancer and chemo had pretty much destroyed her immune system. However, the Lord decided he'd prefer to have her with Him instead, so that's a worry I no longer have.
The various totalitarians here and elsewhere can bloody well piss off.
