Good for you.
Over 600,000 people in this country have died due to complications brought on by COVID-19. Hospitals are at the breaking point in several areas due to hospitalizations due to COVID, the majority of whom are unvaccinated.
If you choose not to get vaccinated that is your choice. I, like the majority of people in this country, have chosen to be vaccinated. I personally know 2 people who have died from COVID and I have friends of friends who have died from COVID. To me, there is no downside in getting the vaccine and possibly a huge upside. Life.[/QUOTE
Thank you for conceding that it's MY choice. I wish more of your ilk would remember that, at least for now, this is still a free country and we have the right to self determination.
Now let me throw you a bone. I am actually Pro Vaccination, and I sincerely hope that most of the people currently unvaccinated do indeed get the vaccine, but not me. I feel my risk of serious illness/death due to COVID is so small as to be statistically irrelevant, and while I believe the risk of getting any kind of major side effect from the vaccine is also quite small, it's still not an impossibility, and the chances of getting at least a minor reaction to the shot is quite high.
Given the choices of a high probability of getting sick for a day or so, combined with a slim possibility of getting a major side effect from the vaccine weighed against the disease itself which instills ZERO fear in me especially since I have been exposed multiple times and I haven't developed so much as a sniffle, the choice is easy for me. I have zero intentions of getting vaccination myself although I heartily encourage anyone actually at risk to the virus to go out and get vaccinated as soon as possible.
See, I can be reasonable too. lol

I'm not implying that you are lying, just trying to understand.
