Fully vaccinated with pfizer!

Thank you for your reply

I am not disputing that young people experience fewer deaths in fact I would say that improved techniques have prevented many deaths. In the UK there were 99 deaths between March 20 and January 21 (Feb figures not being in yet) of people in the 16 - 49 bracket and none under that.

What is harder to find is data on young cases requiring hospitalisation (but not necessarily fatal).

So I fully understand that from your perspective why would you want a vaccine that you feel is rushed, for a disease that is very unlikely to kill you?

For older people with a greater chance of fatality or long COVID then the various vaccines on offer are a reasonable risk. Obviously we don't know what will happen 5 or 10 years down the line. So in the meantime I follow the data and make my judgement based on the resources availible.
