Aqute,
Literally had this convo with a relative last night who doesn't want to get vaccinated because she doesn't think covid will be a big deal if she gets it, because she knows some people who had it recently and it was "just a bad week or two."
I'm always a person she can go to for straight-up, fact based info, unlike a lot of the conservative friends she has. I explained it this way:
Think about the risk and reward of being vaccinated and getting Covid, and of being unvaccinated and getting covid:
Vaccinated and still getting covid:
You risk some side effects from the vaccine, there's still a risk you get covid, but the reward is likely a mild case it or simply being asymptomatic. The reward is a low chance of going to the hospital.Unvaccinated and getting covid:
You risk a rough couple of weeks being horribly sick, you risk hospitalization, you risk death. Your reward might be having natural antibodies, but is that worth the risks listed?- And what about contracting Covid and spreading it to all your love ones, friends and strangers alike? Fucking Covidiots!utopian

- how old is your friend? if they are 65 or younger, possibility of death from covid is insanely low.pr2
- i'm fucking afraid that at some point we're going to start talking about mutations that are immune to the current vaccines, and nobody else is there to blamested
- but these ppl. who refuse to get vaccinated.sted
- son, the virus is already out. there is noone to blame, if anything the vaxxed people, unprotected against new variants are the ones who should get the blame.pr2
- And that’s why everyone on this site thinks you’re both a moron and a royal ass, pr2.monospaced
- uh that was extra dumb.sted
- you guys have solidified concrete for brains.pr2
