you're taking a risk either way
so it depends on what risk you'd rather go with
Exactly. I will choose the one with thousands of medical professionals and scientists behind it checking everybody else work to make the same conclusions that have doubled our lifespan (over the last what hundred years?) over people's 'feels'.
Ok - and it's also totally normal that some ppl might die from covid or end up in the hospital....but at least 90% won't right?
I guess what you might be missing is that the people who are in the hospital from this, would have been what 10% of the people who get Covid in your example, if they were all vaccinated, that 10% would have 95% of them not likely to have ended up in the hospital. 10% hospitalized (unvaccinated), or .5% hospitalized (vaccinated), 9.5% is a lot of sick people and unnecessary strain on our healthcare system.
That is complicated, but important point to understand.
you don't know that
why do you have to wear a mask still after you get the shot? why do you still have to social distance?
1. Because like others have said, you can still get sick (like if your vaccine didn't take) and pass along the virus.
And 2. Because maybe it is time to learn as a society that we cannot safely linger in everyone else's spew range. I find it odd that we haven't figured this out with about 60,000 people dying every year (and untold amount of lost economic output due to people working sick/getting others sick (both people they work with and people they come in contact with throughout the day)), but we now know.
It is crazy that people think that they can just ignore the very real reasons to just get used to wearing a mask when in large groups and are indoors and staying home when they are sick.
