The infection fatality rate (not to be confused with case fatality rate) is about 0.2%, and only statistically significant for old people >60 and those with comorbidities. Anecdotally no one I know including myself who doesn't fall in these buckets experienced worse than a week of flu symptoms. The vaccines are only shown to last about 6 months, and even then aren't even effective with the latest variants.
I don't think it's unreasonable for a healthy person under 60 years of age with no comorbidities to opt out of the vaccine (or the flu vaccine, which actually is deadlier than people think, yet nobody cares about your flu vaccination).
