Here's the deal: Without the vaccine, if you come in contact with the virus in a high enough dose to catch it, you're almost certain to catch it.
If you catch it and have high-risk medical conditions, you have an unreasonable chance of ending up dead. Even if you don't end up dead, there is a very good chance that you'll have long-term damage as a result of the virus. Heart problems. Lung Problems. Brain function problems. Vaccinations reduce the chance of catching COVID to something like 10% for Pfizer. Plus, if you do catch it, the severity of the disease is much reduced. All of the vaccines are almost 100% effective at preventing hospitalizations and death. This means that with the vaccine, we're more in the statistical range (or less) of dying or having long-term effects from the Flu. I'm willing to take that chance. The only wildcard here is the variants, and if we'll squash this before there is a nasty variant that pops up which gets around the vaccine.
