  1. I, on the contrary, feel I am doing the right thing by discouraging two particular groups from getting the vaccine. The first group is those who have had covid-19. Even if your infection has been asymptomatic you will now be immune, and that immunity lasts as long as it has so far be possible to test for. So even if the risk posed by vaccination is very small there is no logical reason to take any chance at all. The second group is young people, probably anyone under about 40. Almost all of these people who contract covid-19 will experience symptoms that are less bother than a bad cold. However they will then achieve natural immunity. But here's the thing. These vaccines typically presents just one antigen to your immune system whereas if you get covid-19 your immune system will have been exposed to the whole virus. What this means is that there is a good chance that natural immunity may well be far better than that given by vaccination. It may well last a lot longer (even a lifetime) and may protect better against variants and similar future viruses. By getting vaccinated you forgo the chance of this happening.
