Because it will take days for you to notice that you have it and you will continue to spread it. Even if you do not die from it, others that caught it from you might. If you are vaccinated it might be that you do not spread it anymore. It seems that there is no data yet for the current corona vaccines, but other vaccines prevent spreading so the new ones might as well.

- scrollaway 6y agoMany of those highly at risk (the immunocompromised) cannot take the vaccine and rely on herd immunity. It's the same story as with every other vaccines. (Why does it have to be repeated every time?) Very simple: If you want to go back to a normal life, you want herd immunity. You want 60+% of people vaccinated. NOT the 2-3% who are highly at risk. Furthermore, please remember that, much like many other diseases, you can still suffer severe consequences from COVID-19, and you can still die from it, even if you are healthy. Not wanting the vaccine because you have "low chances of dying" is like not wearing a seat belt because you have "low chances of getting into an accident". Wear your fucking seat belt.
- anonymouswacker 6y agoSuch is nature. I don't want to take even a 0.1% risk of some vaccine side-effect to protect a theoretical person. Sorry, not sorry.
