Close to zero? You mean the likelihood of catching COVID dropping to nearly zero is worthless to you?
Also, lockdowns are likely to continue until COVID numbers drop. COVID numbers won't drop until more people get vaccinated.
The thought of "vaccines are pointless since you'll still have to mask" is extremely short-sighted.

If things won't go back to normal until 60% or 70% or 80% or 90% of people get the vaccine, and getting it yourself before then doesn't give you anything, the rational but selfish thing to do is say "I'll let everyone else get the vaccine but pass on it myself. I'll get the benefit of normality without the risk of side effects." As for this: > Close to zero? You mean the likelihood of catching COVID dropping to nearly zero is worthless to you? If someone has been offered the vaccine but chose not to get it, I think they would say yes to this.
