The Unvaccinated? Why?

Why do you think 30% of Americans still aren't vaccinated? Don't trust it? Hate being forced to take it? Don't see a need to get it? Have more important things to do? It does look like the unvaccinated rate is declining, maybe because people are more scared of the Delta Variant, but of the people I know, they don't trust the seasonal Influenza vaccines either.

Fred,
You left out those people who have had Covid-19 and have antibodies The reason to get the vaccine is to "create" antibodies to the virus.

Good point, a few of the people who I know aren't vaccinated believe they already had it months ago.

You beat me to it. Does anyone wonder why the Covid survivors and their natural immunity rarely ever gets mentioned, not even by the president?

I think more studies need to be done looking at which is better immunity, natural vs vaccines. I'm guessing natural is much stronger but less politically useful.

Getting Covid-19 would be the same protection as getting the J&J vaccine. BTW, vaccine effectiveness has been declining since the Delta Variant arrived. Down to 80% for some vaccines.

What are the chances of dying if you come down with COVID 19, compared to your chances of dying if you get the J&J vaccine?

What are your thoughts about people who already had covid but don't want to get the jab?

What are you thoughts about answering the question I asked first?

You ask what are the chances of dying if you have Covid?

Effectively zero. That is with the caveat that being killed in a motorcycle accident while having a positive Covid will not be considered a Covid death.

Statistically? About the same, less than a one percent chance of either happening. But even lower if you have the vaccine.
