Will you get vaccinated against COVID once it's available?

Add to it, all the risks people take with things they smoke, eat, drink, breathe, and so on. Why are possible risks of this vaccine so overblown compared to literally everything else we ingest?

Because there's no political angle to the others.

Aren't 3 out of the 4 examples youve given a choice?

Self induced illnesses (including almost all of those pesky co-morbidities) can 99x out of 100 be cured with diet and exercise some are just not willing to change their lifestyle, and must accept the side effects and consequences.


If it will reduce your anxiety about getting covid, that's a reason right there to get the vaccine IMO. They could even give you a placebo and you'd feel great, get outside and back to normal life.
