Yeah. I’ve actually had moments of skepticism. I’m fully vaccinated (as is my entire family) but had a family member get hospitalized by myocarditis after their 2nd Pfizer dose. When I did the math of COVID-19 prevalence in our area (cases were very low at the time) and rate of myocarditis for his age group it was actually a higher probability for him to get hospitalized from myocarditis as a vaccine side effect than from COVID-19 at that time (young athletic males seem to get this way more than other demographics). Now… when you take into account higher cases, SIR models, the Delta variant, and that myocarditis is easy to treat it’s clearly the lower risk option longer term. There is also the ethical part where it’s the right thing to do for your neighbour and Countrymen. My point is that it is not always clear to everyone, especially those who may not have the skills to make sense of academic research. I’ve even gotten sucked down the hole of “what happens when an mRNA lipid nanoparticle crosses the blood-brain barrier?”, which is quite interesting.
