After 6.6 billion doses worldwide, it's pretty clear. It's at least an order of magnitude safer than most of the drugs in the typical medicine cabinet (paracetamol/tylenol, aspirin, etc).

I don't know the risk of the vaccine
I'm not sure that the few million people in the States who have lost loved ones will be comforted by you effectively saying 'Hey, she was going to die anyway'.
Yep. Because it’s true. Contracting Covid is not necessarily synonymous with serious illness requiring hospitalization, or with death.

"The Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines can have side effects, but the vast majority are very short term —not serious or dangerous."
over four hundred thousand adverse reactions

Which path do you think you should take?
Which one would you take?
the seemingly hopeful path could be wrong
the seemingly futile path could be right
If the Buddhist conception of odds are different
Probably almost all were infected. Not everyone gets symptoms. I guarantee they aren't being tested.It may be relevant that 'the lovely' Sharyl Attkinson apparently has a recent record of dubious reporting about vaccines...
Interesting too that the article suggests that the community reached herd immunity when 90%(!) of the families had at least one infected member. Not sure that's something to celebrate...
And I suspect herd immunity would take 85-90% of the population to have been infected.
consider how likely the virus will harm you
since that significantly changes the odds
That factor has been incorporated. That's how the odds were calculated.
Citation? bear in mind that, as previously explained, reports of adverse reactions are not necessarily vaccination-related, and - as seen with other drugs - on statistical analysis, the vast majority reported through the Yellow Card system and the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) turn out not to be related.over four hundred thousand adverse reactions
If it was just tapwater, I guess you'd have to put the protection it provides against infection, hospitalization, and death from Covid down to the placebo effect - but the randomized control trials during the testing phase showed this not to be the case, and the level and consistency of protection provided by the vaccine in the general population is not consistent with a placebo effect.6.6 billion, that's a lot of fluid, what if it is just tapwater?
Well, if they did reach herd immunity, it just shows that herd immunity through infection instead of vaccination is not a great solution for viruses as potentially dangerous as SARS-CoV-2.Probably almost all were infected. Not everyone gets symptoms. I guarantee they aren't being tested.
Critical Appraisal pdfCitation?
you're still an order of magnitude more likely to die of Covid than to get an adverse reaction to the vaccine.
