I’ve already been diagnosed with covid and it was fine, a little worse than an average cold. Why should I take a vaccine and risk side effects for a disease with a 99.9% survival rate, when I’m not even bothered by it? Doesn’t make sense to me.



The probablity of survival from taking the vaccine more than 99.9%, so the benifits of vaccine is larger than the risk.


Even if the risk is minuscule, I just have no incentive to subject myself to additional risk.


You are the lucky person who only has a little symptom. The vaccine is for stopping the transmission so that the unlucky people won't get and die from COVID. Then the economy and the world can go back to normal.
