Why take the COVID Vaccine?(Not a Anti-Vaxer)

I don’t see the point in taking the COVID Vaccine if I have a 99.97 survival rate. I already had COVID and was sick for less then a day. I don’t see the point when it hasn’t even been proven that it stops the spread of the virus. It just lessens the severity of it. I’m not Anti-Vax by any stretch. I just don’t think I need it and it was also rushed. Most vaccines take years to develop. What are y’all’s thoughts?

Why take an experimental drug?

Wasnt there a battle over the "right to try" legislation?
They were opposed to people who were dying from taking an unproven drug. NOW they want to mandate people taking an unproven and rapidly developed vaccine that is not needed.

Why take the COVID Vaccine?(Not a Anti-Vaxer)
I am not elderly, and my weight is in the normal range (albeit ALMOST to "overweight"). I have none of the standard comorbidities, and I seldom get sick enough to miss a day of work.
When I eventually get COVID (it is a virus ... everyone will get it eventually), I will feel like crap for a day or two, and otherwise I will work from home for a week or two.
Why the HELL would I take an experimental drug that was rushed through the approval process without all the normal protections?
No thanks.

I'm stepping up to the plate and donating my dose to a transgender black-latinx social worker doctor fireperson.

Flu has a 99.98% survival rate....but you still get your Flu vax every year right?

AND still carries immunities for the Pharma companies that created and are now pushing them....

People who already had it should be at the bottom of the list of those who need it.
That said:

That is just the makers being conservative. And in fact the data is coming in that seems to suggest it does stop the spread. Which makes all the sense in the world.
So if you are a healthy young adult that HASN'T had it before, you should still probably get it so that you can feel a little more at ease when visiting your mom or granny.

Not to mention the first mRNA vaccine ever.
History tells us new leaps forward in technology or medicine always, always have kinks to work out. I'm not interested in experiencing the kinks when the alternative is not dying from it anyway. I already told my wife the kids won't take it and I'll do everything legally to make sure of it. Not scared to spend money on a lawyer if that's what it takes.

So I don’t contract and give it to somebody who doesn’t have a 99.7% survival rate...like my parents who are in their 70’s.

While it may not protect you... and may not protect anyone else, it'll make you feel like you re doing something and will signal to others that you are doing something. Isn't that what's really important?

As far as I can remember I don’t think I have ever got the flu shot. I also haven’t gotten the flu in 10 plus years.

Know what's more effective at keeping you from passing it on? Getting it, getting over it and having antibodies. The vaccine won't necessarily keep you from passing on COVID. It'll make your symptoms not as severe if you do get it, though.

Could I get the link on it stopping the spread? Thanks

Honestly, if the vaccine was to help life get back to a more normal way, I would be all about it. But when you have Fauci and his congregation all saying that even after getting vaccinated you have to keep distance, wear masks (more than one), can't go to church, etc., it make me question the point of it all. They are basically admitting that the vaccine doesn't work.

I went fishing with a 58 year old guide in early December. By mid January he had passed away after having been in ICU for nearly a month. I received my second vaccination last week. When it gets bad, it's bad.

Nope.
The flu shot doesn’t protect you against the flu. And you have to get it every year- for LAST years’s strain.
It’s a gimmick.
The Covid vaccine doesn’t protect anyone against Covid. It only helps lessen the symptoms and/or length.... MAYBE.
And you have to continue to get it.
