In healthcare, there is no such thing as zero risk. There is no such thing as 100% effectiveness. Benefits, risks and unknowns all have to be considered. And all things considered, vaccines historically have delivered far more benefit than risk, and are likely to do so in future.

There is no such thing as “no risk.” Those who are searching for it will never find it. Welcome to the universe; it’ll be fucking you up until you die.

I’ll be taking the Covid-19 vaccine the moment it’s available to me. Because I’m not an assclown and though I am content to take more risks than most, getting vaccinated isn’t much of a risk. I’ll most likely drive to the vaccine site, which is hundreds to thousands times more risky.

Most people seem mentally ill to me they are so incredibly bad at assessing risk.
