If I'm reading the charts correctly, the incidence of infection after recovering from Covid is around 13-15 per 100k after 6-8 months, and after recovering from Covid + Vaccination is around 10-14 per 100k after 6-8 months.

So it seems like vaccination does not present a clear benefit for someone that recovered from Covid? (The confidence intervals overlap)

I think the main benefit is that taking vaccine re-sets the timer on your dimnishing immunity from prior infection.

So if you had covid 8 months ago, but took the vaccine last month you have significantly better immunity than if you didn't.

While a person that took vaccine 8 months ago and was also sick even further back (for example 12 months ago), has roughly the same immunity as a person who was sick 8 months ago and didn't vaccinate.

>does not present a clear benefit

It sounds like youre operating from a premise of unnecessary doses being slightly bad, vs slightly good. Is there a clear benefit to not taking pascals wager?

The premise that injecting experimental substances in my body is not necessarily a good thing.

With over 6 billion doses taken worldwide it's currently about as experimental as aspirin.

We know how and why aspirin works, and we've had it for decades. I don't want to live through class actions and apologies for long term vaccine effects.

lets say you have 40 years of life left. are you going to wait 40 years for data? is the 10 they have not enough? 1 more year? 5?

the premise that long term effects exist is also quite a leap.

i think a premise of "this is bad until i know it is good" will be one youll never satisfactorily escape.

I'm not interested in vaccines and it's not my job to be. There are scientists who dedicate their lives, and I'm waiting for results. Asking when I'm satisfied is asking a Las Vegas algorithm when its satisfied - it's irrelevant.

This is the result. After 10+ years they deemed it safe and gave it to 60% of the planet.

Youre saying youre waiting for some "results". The scientists say they are satisfied, but you say you cant hear them say they are satisfied. It's not that they arent, its your, in as polite of french as i have, fingers in your ears.

Youve decided they arent satisfied, despite their statements to the contrary.

I do take aspirin. I love it. Amd I'll take one/two/three/four covid shots in 10+ years when they're deemed safe. Right now, though, I'm wondering why so many athletes are getting injured all of a sudden, and why I hear people complaining of shortness of breath and such.
