When something works really well and is statistically beneficial, I am not sure why you would decline any of them.

  Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not being anti-vaccine. I'm being anti-ever-growing-list-of-disease-to-worry-about.

    I understand, but I think I read it as the diseases-we-have-good-interventions-for-list. We can work on more efficient distribution, but it seems like a relatively minor issue.

      You could also put it in the "diseases-we-dont-need-interventions-for-in-most-cases-list". The vaccines aren't really effective for younger people. I still remember how it was pushed as 95% effective against *transmission* in the beginning. We don't see this panic regarding the flu and they have similar mortality in the same demographics. Give it to the elderly and the sensitive and ignore it for the rest like we've always done. There's really no need to exaggerate the risks, I only caught covid twice (first and delta variants) 2 years apart while many of my vaccinated friends seem to catch every single one only months apart. Why is that? Interestingly I've never been this healthy in my life, anecdata and probably more related to social distancing than being unvaccinated but interesting nonetheless. I don't care if people choose to get vaccinated but it's seriously time to move on.
