Right, but that's assuming you get the virus; to properly compare it you have to factor the chance you contract the virus in the first place. I'm not saying the math works out better, I haven't done it myself, but I'd bet most people would choose to try to avoid contracting

Yeah, I'm willing to avoid contracting the virus... by getting the vaccine, which certainly isn't as deadly as the virus has been. It isn't just the kill rate, though: I truly want to avoid the long-term complications that some folks are getting. I'll avoid the suffering that comes with the virus too, even without the complications.

most people in my experience are fed up of trying to avoid contracting and would rather the much lower risk of vaccine (bare in mind 10+m people have received this vaccine in the UK with no known issues)
