85% of COVID-19 hospitalizations were among those not fully vaccinated.[0]
90% of people who are dying from covid are unvaccinated.[1]
10 in 100,000 people in your likely age range experience myocarditis.[2]
However, yeah, if you have had a bad reaction before, you are likely to have another bad reaction. I'm sorry you went through that.
> Yes it's 80% effective at eliminating _hospitalization_ but vaccinated people still get Covid, still go through fever & long covid symptoms (loss of taste/smell anyone?), and still must quarantine else infect others.
I would argue 80% effective at eliminating hospitalization is not a trivial number. That is extremely effective. I will take those odds vs the chance of having an extremely rare myocarditis episode.

- maerF0x0 5y agoYour myocarditis source seems to be off?
- honkycat 5y agoHow so? ``` Among more than 2.5 million vaccinated HCO members who were 16 years of age or older, 54 cases met the criteria for myocarditis. The estimated incidence per 100,000 persons who had received at least one dose of vaccine was 2.13 cases (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.56 to 2.70). The highest incidence of myocarditis (10.69 cases per 100,000 persons; 95% CI, 6.93 to 14.46) was reported in male patients between the ages of 16 and 29 years. ``` seems pretty clear cut to me.
- maerF0x0 5y agoUnsure if edit or my off by 1 issue when I looked at them (I thought you referred the atlantic source)
- aldebran 5y agoIs this thread being brigaded by antivaxxers? Seeing so many asinine comments claiming vaccines were useless…
