Over what time period? It seems pretty clear that covid is not going anywhere. Eventually almost everyone will get it. The only real question is do you want to be vaccinated when that happens to you. The answer is a no- brainer no matter how you look at the data. Which is why I'm surprised and saddened by how many people can't see that for one reason or another. As a programmer who lives and breathes logic, so often I find myself unable to relate to or understand how many people live their lives largely devoid of good logical reasoning. So much emotion and tribalism.
Family has died or almost died from this disease, and it was entirely preventable. Whenever you depart from the basis of reality, by being wrong about some aspect of it, there is always a price to be paid. At times I have paid this price and I really value careful and rational challenging of all my beliefs.
- vfclists 5y ago> Eventually almost everyone will get it. Do you mean symptomatic Covid or just a positive PCR test?
- eloff 5y agoNeither. An infection, which may or may not be symptomatic.

The question is also what state the virus will be in by the time it reaches any particular person (Omicron seems likely to be less severe than delta). and what that person's vaccination status will be at that time in terms of time since last booster etc. Also, vaccines seem to decrease in effectiveness with each booster shot over a certain number.
