Oh, it 'just' saves your life. Oh well, if that's all...

  Potentially saves your life if you're in a risk group with co-morbidities yes... Not downplaying anything here. Reducing the symptoms is great. But interesting also to not that we don't even knows why it does that: > The reason for the efficacy of the new mRNA vaccines is not clear. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MRNA_vaccine#Efficacy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MRNA_vaccine#Efficacy

    Where do you get the idea that the vaccines only work on people who have co-morbidities? That’s certainly not the experience here I’m the UK. They seem to reduce the death and serious illness rate in otherwise healthy people just fine.

      > Where do you get the idea that the vaccines only work on people who have co-morbidities? How do you draw that conclusion? I never said that. Vaccines work across the board. But to illustrate an extreme, they do practically nothing to kids. For 80+ year olds they're miracle drugs.
