I have a theory. Not a very scientific one but it's a theory.
I think you are either strong or you're not. So in this sense Covid will either kill you or you'll sail through without symptoms. I think it's the same with a vaccine. They've tested it and although we don't know what the true long term side effects will be you'll either be fine or it'll strike you down with some sinister side effect. I guess I feel like at this point it's all down to how tough you are built anyway so I may as well get the vaccine and run around guilt free. Bank on my tough third world genes to get me through.
It's a calculated risk imo and someone has to take it.
That isn't quite how it works though. You might recover from the illness but have adverse reactions to the vaccine.
The problem at the moment is we don't know; the vaccine is in very early stages.
I know for a fact I have and will recover from COVID 19. That does NOT mean that I will have no adverse reactions to the vaccine. No-one knows that at the moment. Because it has not undergone long term testing.
I do agree it's a calculated risk. I think the people who get the vaccine will come into these categories:
A) have underlying conditions that out them more at risk of death from Covid
B) live with people in the above category
C) have had and recovered from Covid and do not have underlying health conditions that could make an untested vaccine risky
