It's kinda complicated, while I'm 100% on board with vaccinating, I do see the problem..
"You have some chance of getting Covid" then "If you get Covid you have some chances of getting seriously ill, permanent damage or die"
vs
"You have 100% chance of getting the vaccine" then "If you get the vaccine, you have come chance of dying"
So it's not super simple to calculate the risk, especially not for me, so I shouldn't comment at all..
- alkonaut 6y agoThe thing is that in the 60+ group or 65+ group it's not that complicated: there have been zero concerns about the virus there, but the disease is very dangerous in that group. The difference in risk of dying from Covid vs dying from vaccination is large, even with Denmarks quite low spread. It's quite possible that people under 60, or perhaps only women under 60 should not take it. In that group, the numbers are at least starting to be possible to compare. Which is why many countries have stopped it in that group (despite the risk of covid death even in that group being higher!). So it's indeed not very simple, but you can always find a group where even conservatively counting the risk is enormous from the disease and tiny from the vaccine.
