I'm in my 60s, quite healthy haven't had a cold in at least 2 years. I've never had a flu shot and never had the flu. People don't believe me when I tell them that, but it's true. So why would I monkey with a proven robust immune system with (IMO) an unproven vaccine? I know there are plenty of anti-vaxxers out there but I have no problem with people opting for it, particularly if they are old and/or unhealthy. Covid numbers are coming down but no one KNOWS that it is because of the vaccines. Viruses do die out, you know. So that's my opinion, what is yours on the vaccine?
I don't think you are wrong or right, it truly is up to you.
I just would like you to consider the full circumstances that surround you...the whole picture that only you would know before you make your final decision of whether to get a shot or not...
Let me say first, it is Great that you are healthy and fairly young for what is considered a senior cit!
-As a healthy person, you very well may catch covid and even be Asymptomatic and not notice anything....and that is really great for you!
but what you need to also consider is any family or friends or coworkers that you have... could catch it from you and get very sick from it, if not die....and if your contacts catch it from you, they in turn could pass the covid infection on to their family members or friends that are vulnerable.
This is a disease, that is hard to stop from spreading.... if you caught it... it is near 100% that you also gave it to someone else, or two someone elses or three someone elses, according to studies, and if you catch the new variant from the UK it is likely that you will pass it on to more than three, they are estimating through studies that you will likely pass on the UK Covid infection to 7 other people and those 7other people to another 7 each, and so on and so forth....
On the other hand, it could be that you have no family or friends near you, and don't work anymore and don't go out that much, but the grocery store, and then... you wear a mask, you may not pass it on to someone else less healthy?
Or, enough of the people surrounding and in your space, have had vaccines already, and you likely won't pass it on to them?
Or it could be that you don't give a hoot about others, one way or another?
-the other thing I'd like you to consider is that even if you and the young-uns that don't get sick and are healthy....
by catching covid, you give Covid a chance to replicate and create a mutation, a new variant that spreads faster than the UK variant which is spreading now in the USA at a faster rate than the original Covid strain that we got in the U.S initially.... and the more people, even healthy people who catch it but do not get really sick from it, covid can create a variant different from the one you caught, and when you pass on the virus to someone else which studies show it is likely, there is a chance it is a new variant a mutated version...that you are passing on to them and this gets repeated until one variant gets stronger than the preceding one...and takes over, and this is repeated over and over again.
Well, bottom line is, eventually the vaccines given to those who took them that are the high risk vulnerable, along with others....will reach a point where the vaccines given, no longer protect all of society because the virus has changed so many times that it's structure is different enough, that the vaccines won't work.....
You personally, may not need one, and your circumstances may also dictate that you really don't need to get one, you can wait until it is fully approved by the FDA or choose not to at all... what ever!
But, there could be more to this than just you...that you should also consider??
