> How does getting a vaccine affect a young healthy person negatively?
Isn't that a reason people don't want the shot? Because they're not sure of the answer to that question.
I got my 2 shots. Had to drive 1.5 hours each way both times, find someone to watch my kids and burn up 2 Saturdays that I could have spent doing something I wanted to do that wasn't getting a shot.
To claim there is zero cost is insincere at best.

I am not sure which country you are in because I can walk into pharmacies and grocery stores and get a shot while shopping. Vaccine appointments were booked out early in the year in the United states. You could have just waited. The US government/pharma companies cant produce 600 million doses in a couple of weeks.
For me both shots were zero cost, as for every other person I know.

I was flying all over the country for the entire lockdown period. I didn’t want to wait to get the shot.

You had a peculiar outlier situation that simply isn't true for 99% of Americans. Glad to see that you judged that the vaccine was worth spending 2 entire days on.

If you answer my question I'll answer yours.
The vaccine does not come with 0 cost.

What was the cost to you? Sore arm? Feverish for a day?
It sucks to be surrounded by people who won't give a shit about senior Citizens, immunocompromised neighbors or older folks in their own families. It is indeed a lack of morality.
It is immoral for the same reason as refusing to help others survive at zero cost to you.
