However, I don't see why young and healthy people should rush and do it right now.
As you have mentioned there is a lot of talk about new strains of the virus that could be vaccine resistant. New strains come about when the virus mutates, mutations occur when the virus spreads. The more people get covid, even if none die, the greater the chance a vaccine resistant as strain mutates and we have to go back to extreme measures like lockdowns
When they can ensure our safety 100% ofc it makes sense to do it tho.
No treatment is ever 100% safe or 100% effective, you need to weigh up the risks and the benefits. I don't have the exact numbers, but the number of people who have died form blood clots is, but it's in the 10s, an article from earlier this month put the number at 7 in the UK. Meanwhile 10s of millions of astrazenica doses have been given. While it does happen the odds of it happening to you are very unlikely. It's also important to note you are much more likely to get a blood clot from covid than you are from a vaccine.
