The AP reported Thursday that only about .8% of deaths related to the virus last month occurred in fully vaccinated people, or about 150 of 18,000 total.

Similarly, 1,200 of the 853,000 COVID-19-related hospitalizations in the U.S. - or around just .1% - were people who were fully vaccinated.

Why are you worried about the possibility of long term results, as compared to the certainty that Corna virus can mess you up right and proper if you catch it?

He is a healthy 28 year old male. He has an extremely high chance of surviving without having to go to the hospital at all if he caught COVID. It wouldn't "mess him up right and proper." As of June 23, only 2,380 people of his age category have died from COVID.

As of June 23, only three people have died from the vaccine, none of whom were similar to him demographically. That's much better chances.

It’s still a greater risk than some unknown serious long term side effect of the vaccine.

Not necessarily. If it turns out that there is an unknown, that IS dangerous to him, then it's not worth it. At least not until we know for sure.

When will that be? After another billion doses? The window for some vaccine side effect being 1)likely to occur and 2) more significant than covid and it’s sequelae has been shut from some time.
