Everyone I know who's had it, which is about 10 people, weren't hospitalised and had no prolonged side-effects (Thank God). Obviously I know not everyone's the same, but there's plenty of other underlying issues involved that kill people.

The survival rate just isn't the whole picture. The vaccine is objectively way less risky than the disease. Second dose is a doozy though.

This is now very unlikely to be true for all age groups. Preliminary data are that AstraZeneca causes more deaths than it prevents, or causes just as many deaths, until you’re over 60.

The myocarditis numbers look terrible for young men, and if the connection is confirmed, Pfizer will almost surely prove a bigger risk for them than Corona.

And where are you getting these numbers. If 6/100k drop dead ( they wont) it would still be worth it. Read about people with long covid, it will ruin your life.

About 1 in 10 of all people, less so for the young most likely, but let's say it's 1/100, it would still be way worse.

So that harvard health blog appears to cite only one actual study, where they interviewed people 2-3 weeks after positive PCR test results and found that 35% still hadn't returned to baseline health. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7392393/ …pic.twitter.com/yoznVnUsPi

All the long covid stuff is like this, vague inflated claims gathering the usual pool of fibromyalgia-adjacent symptoms under the umbrella of "long covid" and padding out the numbers with people who still have lingering feelings of exhaustion 2-3 weeks later ...

...which is also the case for many who have had influenza, btw. Not doubting that some patients have permanent pulmonary damage from viral pneumonia, but the number is nowhere near 1/10. Also there is good evidence for persistent attenuated smell some people.
