How can you possibly determine that, lots of under 50's suffering and dying from it? Do you feel lucky? No, I simply see the odds as being stacked massively in my favour. And that's backed up by the stats of just how many under 50s are dying from it. I'm not going to search for the stats though, the daily death graphs *have* been causing me ill health for the last 12 months. Under 45 and you are roughly in the regularly driving UK roads for a decade risk category. This is the URL for age related fatality risk. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-51674743 Primary school pupils are more likely to die in an RTC on the way to school than they are to die of Covid. Obviously you and anyone else must feel free to take the vaccine, I have no motivation to talk you out of it, but would like to hang onto the right to be reluctant, if that's OK? I think now that we are close to 10 million vaccinations worldwide so that any nasty surprises would have come out by now. I'd prefer the Pfizer vaccine myself but I'd happily take any that were offered. YMMV It will be ages before they offer Covid vaccination to healthy under 45's. Indeed they may never get around to it if they manage to get the hospitalisation and death rates under control by only vaccinating those at highest risk first and then summer arrives like the cavalry. Only time will tell. No reason to fear the vaccine unless you are actually allergic to almost everything. If you have to carry an epipen round with you then you should make the vaccination team aware. -- Regards, Martin Brown |
