I'd rather not get sick and risk dying, even if I'm under 50. Thank you very much.

And more importantly, even if the risk of death is low for me, I can still transmit it to high risk people.

I'm not saying you shouldn't have the option... but there's plenty of us that understand how risk works.

And there's plenty of us that understand that "low risk" is still risk, that getting sick without dying is not without long-term health effects, and that vaccination is not only for you, but for your community.

And there's also plenty of us that recognize what some are certain is best for the community, may not be. E.g. politicized forced vaccination
