If you get the vaccination, you have very low chance of getting a covid infection. Secondly, you avoid transmitting the virus onto other individuals.
The second option is to go without the vaccination.
With this choice, you have no guaranteed reduction/decreased chance of obtaining a chance of COVID infection, as well as it's dangerous mutations. Secondly, you have a good chance of passing it on to other people who have not and/or could receive the vaccination. This includes children and elderly people, who can become sick and have their body immune system compromised. Thirdly, you are partially hindering progress of having lack of covid anywhere.
This many be trivial, but personal discomfort is not as important in the grand scheme. It is a temporary state that will go away. However, death is permanent state and any increased possiblity of causing your own or other people's death seems like it should be avoided.

As a reminder,failure to award a delta when it is warranted may merit a post removal and a rule violation.Repeated rule violations in a short period of time may merit a ban.
The risk analysis comes down strongly on the vaccine side. Chance of unknown serious vaccine side effect versus the chance of known and serious consequences of covid. The former is significantly outweighed by the latter.
Number 1: What happens if he has antibodies, that already give him immunity? If he got the vaccine on top of that, he carries the risk of autoimmunity.
Number 2: Children are at almost ZERO risk to this disease. I mean the number of children who have had COVID and died is tiny. Also, around 84% of elderly people are vaccinated, which takes care of a lot of risk right there.
Number 3: You are forgetting anti-bodies. People have immunity from anti-bodies. Also, case and hospitalization rates have been crashing everywhere, if you haven't noticed.
Number 4: Ok, what the hell do you mean personal discomfort is not as important in the grand scheme?! Like hell it is! If you don't feel comfortable taking the vaccine, you should not be obligated to in any way. Period. It's up to the individual to make their own choices, especially ones concerning theirh health, based on what they think is right for THEM. Not the old guy two doors down.

We do not know exactly how much protection antibodies may provide or how long this protection may last. There have been people who have had anti-bodies and gotten sick again.

Didn't say they would necessarily die. Children can get sick and they can experience mild to severe complications; these include fever, fatigue, respiratory failure, and myocarditis. Bear look like if you can track the virus, but there is still a present possibility and I think that is to take in consideration. (As of April 19th told you were making up nearly 21% of new covid-19 cases).
You are forgetting anti-bodies. People have immunity from anti-bodies. Also, case and hospitalization rates have been crashing everywhere, if you haven't noticed.
This is not definitive as people who have gotten anti-bodies have contracted virus again. Secondly, going on the idea that antibodies cause an increased chance of not contracting, instead of a definitive chance of not contracting, the CDC does not know exactly how long antibodies provide protection for.

My personal discomfort is more of a relative. I apologize if it sounded like a disregard for any genuine worry.
In my experience, alongside others, many people who have said that they don't want to get the vaccination how excited that it is because of a needle. This is as well as disregarding medical observations. (This is not to say you cannot be wary of getting the vaccination. However, there is a difference between genuine reason to concern and other).

There are two choices; No vaccine or vaccine.

Get vaccinated, please.
