I think you got the meaning of what I was saying. No point in pedantry about words. To be clear: here not needing means that it won't be beneficial in a meaning

  I think it's also important to understand to whom it is beneficial. If it doesn't harm, perhaps it's worth still participating in something for the collective good. I know you Americans don't often reason that way. That said, one could question whether vaccinating healthy people will indeed lower the transmission speed qnd thus be q collective good. But I often hear people just considering what's good for them as individuals as if that was all what matters

  If the difference is getting sick or getting a little less sick, I would say I could benefit slightly but don’t need it.

    perhaps if you get a bit less sick, you may be less likely to infect other people who are not as blessed as you are with perfect health. EDIT: just to make clear, I'm not advocating for compulsory vaccinating people who don't want to; just trying to offer a different POV so people can choose to behave in a selfish way while fully understanding that they are indeed acting in a selfish way, benefiting from a functioning society and choosing to not give back even if it doesn't cost much
