To Covid Vax or Not to Covid Vax

Firstly, I did not get Vaxed.
I wasn't brainwashed into not wanting it by Fox News or Qanon.
I feel it was pushed through too quickly. There hasn't been enough time, in my personal opinion, to know what the big picture will bring.

A few things bother me about the many arguments I have participated in and seen on here regarding this.
If a person wants to take measures to attempt to not get this virus than by all means get the Vax. Why do I have to get it for you to be safe from it??? This confuses me.

The last thing I saw mentioned the over crowded E-Rooms because of the un-vaxed getting the virus. Wouldn't this imply that we should also ban mass transit being as if a bus or train has a crash then more people than an E-Room can handle could need treatment??

It seems to be an easy choice either way you lean but proof dictates that it isn't that simple.
No one is arguing over the Flu Vax. Aren't people worried that if I don't get it then they may contract it even though they have taken that Vax??

Apparently I am missing a keystone in my tunnel because I am lost on this.

I am going to see if everyone gets notified when I do this and use it to summarize what this post accomplished for me.

If I some how missed responding to anyone I am sorry I really did try to cover everyone who participated. Even the mean people who showed up.

So I still am not sure I understand this herd immunity thing, not that a few went to great lengths to attempt to get me to understand.
No offense to anyone but to me it kind of looks like cooking the books. Make it look good on paper. But there is a good chance I am wrong with that assessment.

Some have made very convincing arguments that the vax is a far better thing than it is bad. For some reason I am still worried that I will be the ONE damn person I know that will have the bad reaction to it.

Over all Thank all of you who weren't mean for participating with me on this.
This is the sort of thing I log on here for. :-)

@Dainbramadge Good luck with your choice. I'm sure you'll make the right one for you.

@Dainbramadge There is a cognitive bias whereby we give less weight to what we percieve as random bad luck (getting seriously ill from COVID) and getting seriously ill from something we've actively chosen and had done to us ie, the vaccine

@carpediem Thank you for participating in such a volatile subject, thanks to a few.
I already caught the Covid and recovered, not without incident. So I don't need to have the vax and they don't offer it either.
