Hopefully the highly-vulnerable populations (elderly, obese) are willing to take the small unknown risk enough to drive down death rates. I'm not personally super bothered of a bunch of young and healthy people choose to forgo the vaccine pending more time and studies.

If the rate is miniscule, then it may still be an issue, but not an overly important one. >If you were to just 'let young people' out and about, hospitals would still be overwhelmed. Are we sure about that? Any numbers you can share?
