Sorry. I never said and never even meant to imply that you should try to get sick instead of getting the vaccine. Only that if you were already sick, that it greatly shifts your own risk/benefit profile in the direction of not getting the vaccine.

Currently, I think the numbers for a person in that case are then 1% chance of getting COVID again naturally vs vaccine’s 0.001% chance of allergic reaction and a reduced chance of getting COVID again of 0.5%. (Using very round numbers)

Which risk do you choose?

I’ll personally take the risk of being reinfected with COVID.

Either way, at a <= 1% risk of re-infection, I’m no longer a real liability to society so please just leave it for me to decide and don’t force me undergo any unnecessary medical procedures.
