Try it for your next flu shot and ask for the nurse to give you the vaccine.I wish I had thought of asking for a shot in the ass just to see what the nurses reaction would be.
There is an uptick now for younger people being hospitalized with Covid.100% sure you will recover? Jason Tatum has to take an inhaler before every game now. He's an elite athlete. I'm guessing you are not. Maybe your definition of recover is not dying which also is not 100% btw. Countless people with long covid. At best you could say both vaccine and virus are a roll of the dice. At best.
Sounds like it is very effective. How severe are the cases?Why is this even a story if the vaccine only has a 96% efficacy??? And why is congress holding hearings?
Nearly 6K fully vaccinated Americans got COVID-19 – out of 66 million: CDC

So you are 6.5x more likely to die from a lightning strike (1/138,000-highest odds published on NSC site) than you are to die from Covid if you are vaxxed (1/890,000)....seems like life can get back to normalSo far, 74 people have died from breakthrough infections..."
Got the second Pfizer shot yesterday. Just a sore arm.
But, just to point this out: you're only counting fatalities and this has other nasty, long-term side effects. Many of these survivals come after hospitalizations (and if you are an hourly worker, think of what that does to your livelihood...or if you don't have insurance), and a not-insignificant portion of people have longer side effects as well that we hope aren't permanent but don't know.According to the numbers in my state, 51 fatalities out of 327,715 diagnosed cases in those under age 24 99.98% survival rate....so his numbers are close...if you factor in undiagnosed cases...the number is even higher

If this were a: A) you die or B) you live coin flip it's not that big a deal (mind you survival rates are helped by us having done things to minimize people in the ICU). But it's not.
This is also true of other viruses and bacterial infections that people get after vaccinations or antibiotic treatments and yet we move on as a society.
Who is saying that we shouldn't move on as a society after vaccination? The point is suggesting that "99.8% of people survive" is making something a binary that isn't. Especially when factored into the amount of hospitalizations etc. that have come despite our interventions.This is also true of other viruses and bacterial infections that people get after vaccinations or antibiotic treatments and yet we move on as a society.
The flu and pneumonia can do the same. They just haven't at this rate in our lifetime nor in spite of social distancing etc. The rate of hospitalizations, death, long term effects for COVID are pretty darn high. And, again, my whole point is that this is with masks, social distancing, etc.Yes. The long effects occur after a serious illness. It’s not from Covid, it’s from the damage the body endures fighting a severe illness. The Flu and pneumonia can do the same. Covid isn’t different.

How many of those folks with longer side effects are under 25??

I've never looked into so so curious as to what % of those infected have long term effects?? And what are the effects/% of folks infected. And I'm not interested in 3 months after cleared still can't run like I used to...I mean real long term/permanent issues?Who is saying that we shouldn't move on as a society after vaccination?

So to recap. Second Pfizer shot Tuesday at 3 pm. Fine Tuesday night. All day Wednesday from wake up through the night was real bad flu symptoms. Then as quick as they came, they left. Was perfectly fine by mid morning Thursday. Worth not hopefully getting Covid and facing something worse but not a fun day for sure.
I'm 23 hours after 2nd Pfizer shot and feel like a million bucks. No sore arm and (knock on wood) not even as much as a headache.
