If you are young and in shape, then the likely hood of you dying is extremely low.

- pb7 5y agoExcept if there are severe consequences that will only arise years down the line, which we're already seeing, right?
- tfehring 5y agoYeah, mortality risk is only part of the picture, and probably not the most relevant part for young and healthy people. But there are lots of other medium-term (at least) impacts of COVID that have already been observed, and at this point I think it's really unlikely that the expected long-term harm from the vaccine is anywhere close to the expected long-term harm from COVID even in young, healthy people. The cognitive effects of COVID alone (discussed recently at [0]) are probably much more harmful in expectation than the vaccine side-effects, even accounting for the relatively high likelihood that those effects are not real, not causal, and/or reversible.

- PKop 5y agoThis study does not show a before and after cognitive decline from having COVID. It shows correlation between people with lower cognitive levels having COVID vs those who do not have COVID. The causality could of course be going in the opposite direction from what you are implying (lower IQ -> more likely to get COVID).
