re: Why would any sane healthy person vaccinate against a virus with 99.6% recovery rate?

Meh. These threads are all the same. Selfish ignorance outweighs constructive reason.

The reason that viruses tend to mutate into less deadly variants is because more deadly = less time to spread. When they become more deadly, they kill the hosts too quickly and the variant dies out. However it doesn't have to happen that way, and there is always the possibility of a virus with a long contagious period and high death rates at the end. Why do we want to increase the risk of that?
Show me where similar viruses have mutated into more deadly variants.

Little to nothing is guaranteed but we can educate ourselves and understand risk before we become intolerant of other’s point of view.

Nope. This is when the, “my body, my choice,” draw four card is used.

However, with covid expected to remain present for decades how exactly does others getting vaccinated help her?
Because present and omnipresent are different things. The more other people get the vaccine, the closer to present and further from omnipresent we get.
Unless of course the vaccine does nothing to stop transmission. Is that what you think - the covid vaccine does not stop transmission?

You are so are up with this stuff that you obviously obsessed and are on the verge of mental problems. Take a break.

I’m sane, healthy, fit and still got the shot. Don’t really care what anyone thinks TBH.

From your link to Scientific American:
quote:
We already know that coronaviruses can become much more lethal; we need look no further than SARS-CoV-1, which killed 50 percent of those aged 65 and older, and MERS, which killed one out of three infected.
quote:
Initially, many assumed that coronaviruses in general and SARS-CoV-2 in particular were more stable and less prone to adaptation than other RNA viruses because of their error-proofing mechanisms. But we have since been proven wrong. Last summer, a researcher in Texas noticed that a mutated SARS-CoV-2 virus with a substitution in the spike protein had overtaken previous forms to become the dominant strain. Since then, multiple new variants have emerged with mutations that can make the virus more transmissible, more lethal and more able to evade our immune defenses.

Operation warp speed is Trump’s success. And you are diminishing that Bc you’re being political. You and others are now experts in vaccinations. Get over yourself. Take the shot or don’t. Stop getting mad at people that do. I don’t give a frick about your opinion. #maga
I think you will find that a large chunk of the Venn circle of people who argue against the vaccine is overlapping with the other Venn circle of #maga folks. In other words, more maga people are against the vaccine than anti-maga people.

Which has never really been a thing for infectious diseases, because it doesn’t affect the decision-maker alone
Don’t want to take your heart failure meds? Maybe you frustrate some physicians, but you’re free to make your own decisions
Get TB and don’t want to take your meds? At the outset, you’ll probably get some enticements to show up for someone to watch you take your meds. Miss a few times? You’ll get a reminder from law enforcement

I have never taken a flu shot in my life.

Not so much the instant recovery that concerns me but what kind of lingering effects does Covid have on our bodies 5, 10 years from now? Im 40, healthy and got over it but the week I had it my lungs, head and nerves (constant tingling and burning in legs) definitely took a toll. I wouldn’t want anyone to experience that. If a vaccine keeps people from getting these symptoms I’m all for it.
That being said I don’t think younger healthy people should get vaccine.

How come you never asked this question for the flu shot?
I never get a flu shot either but regardless the flu had killed millions of people before it had a vaccine.
