Maybe people in their 20's to 30's are not only being anxious about the direct chance that they could die but of other side effects too? Long covid alias long lasting damages such as impaired taste that have a high impact on your life and are a good reason to get vaccinated against. Just because they most likely won't die, doesn't mean that it will be easy nor that it will be without other nasty side-effects. The vaccine has also been limited AFAIK to high-risk groups in most countries before being available to 'healthy' people. Vaccinating them will also improve the chance for other vaccinated high-risk groups to be infected less and as such help those groups over all in the long term.

  Hmm, my comment was meant to reference eeard immunity, but it's interesting that the virus load remains the same. Thank your for linking sources. Though even if the virus load is the same, it doesn't change the (in most cases) shorter duration people are emitting the virus.

> a good reason to get vaccinated against. I completely agree, but how does this explain the level of enforcement of vaccination that we are seeing?

  I can only guess that it's a mix of the drive towards ending the 'pandemic situation' (see germany for example) and the easy brownee-points some politicians see in going with the train of 'I value lives over (money|...) And that's why I will add the new mandate for vaccines' etc. Or just a lot of pilled up anxiety, that's been collecting over the course of lockdowns.
