You know the vaccine trains you to make antibodies against COVID so they’re there when you need them, right? This should keep you out of hospital and hopefully reduce the risk of long COVID. It helps society as a whole by removing a naive host from the environment - remove enough hosts and the virus declines. Coupled with masking, it will reduce the chance of spreading COVID if infected, although delta might require a few days of isolation as well. It’s far safer than getting the virus into your system.
If you still do not wish to be vaccinated then at least follow the masking and other steps required to protect others. Get tested if you think you’re infected and isolate until it passes. Otherwise, if this too is something you’re not interested in doing, then you’re just a narcissist or worse. Too many people have suffered from COVID to fool around any more.
