People need to remember that we're not taking the vaccine for fun, we're taking it because COVID is out there and we know for certain that it has some lethal side effects as well as non-lethal side effects and possibly other long-term side effects that we don't yet know about. We weigh that risk against the risk that there might be some long-term side effects of the vaccine. To the best of our knowledge, the risks posed by COVID are more dire than those posed by the vaccines and we basically have to choose one.
