So if you are under 50 and not vaxxed, there's about a .025% chance you have a "severe case?"
But the messaging is if you aren't vaccinated you are committing suicide
Pretty much.

Oh well, those in charge made their bed, and now they must sleep in it. The vaccine is objectively good, but the messaging has been an absolute failure. That's on them.

This does not take into account good health, lack of comorbidities and antibodies from previous COVID infection...all which substantially reduces the risk of a sever case of COVID.
I'm still not convinced the vaccine is the proper route for people like me in the low risk groups.
its an added layer

That’s not a lot. You know how many people live in Louisiana? People have lost all concept of reality when they hear Covid stats.
your risk is very low to be hospitalized if you are 30, but what is your argument for not taking something that reduces that risk 31 times?

They are selfish. Covidians live in fear and think if you are healthy and unvaccinated, theyre in mortal danger.

With OG Covid essentially 0
With delta we have had maybe 5-10 under 50 healthy skinny people die at our hospital

The arguement would be even though it's 32 times less likely, the absolute risk is still astronomically low, and there's still long term uncertainty with the vaccine. Combine that with the horrible messaging, to the point of straight up lieing, by the decision makers stirring up distrust with what they say in general.

I'll pass on the added layer that has known short term and unknown medium and long term side effects.

So basically over 40 it may be wise to vaccinate if you so choose, but under 40 you should stay far away from this thing

Because the risk is already low and to spite the frick face politicians and “doctors” pushing fear for compliance.

I caught my error and fixed it.

I believe it also shows how low the risk of severe illness is in general. The risk for a person under 40 seems almost negligible. It doesn’t start getting real risky until over 60.
We were clearly hit with a numbers game with delta. If a person wanted to take a chance with it then their chances were really good;however, with it being so contagious the hospitals are getting over run bc the number of people infected is so high.
I would actually be more concerned about getting in a car accident requiring medical care during this time than actually getting covid.
