    I suppose it comes down to the fact that for most the risk of dying from Covid is so small.

    It is all a matter of people being allowed to exercise their individual human rights without criticism from anyone else.

    If anyone chooses to take a vaccine with high "expected high volume" of Adverse Drug Reactions in order to protect themselves from a virus that has around a 1% chance of killing them if they catch it, then I for one completely respect their right to do so.

    I suspect it's to prove the point that with the exact same circumstances every time you can get a different result so it's not very reliable.

    While I believe you're probably right, I suspect it's also because he's a bit of a knob. The whole cave rescue thing is a prime example. Like his spacex stuff though.

    1% is pretty high when discussing the probability of something killing you or not. For context, history probably suggested a similar probability of Barnsley winning at Loftus Road last season.

    Taking a rushed vaccine that might seem fine now but we don't know the consequences of in ten years time should not be the same as yellow fever.

    1 in 100 or none in 40 odd thousand... difficult odds to choose from as it stands!

    Attitude to risk is a very subjective thing. I've had the virus already and I have lived to tell the tale. I also consider myself to be pretty fit and healthy so rightly or wrongly I think the risk of it killing me would be considerably lower than 1 in 100 and it is a risk I feel perfectly comfortable in taking. I would estimate the risk to be comparable to the risk of me dying crossing the road.... and I'm crazy enough to do that several times daily!

    As I said before.... each to their own. If you would like the vaccine I sincerely hope you are able to get it.

    Also.... I'm fairly sure the odds of a Barnsley win against QPR wasn't 100/1. I would definitely have had a bet on it if it was.

    I wonder what the statistics are in terms of the percentage of Adverse Drug Reactions manifesting within the first few days after receiving a vaccine.

    I haven't got a clue what the answer to that question is but I suspect the information is available somewhere.

    I think that data is still to be published by Pfizer / BionTech, and that and the efficacy data (also still to be published) will be peer reviewed before approved / declined by regulators to use.

    I was meaning in more general terms across all vaccines rather than specifically the Covid-19 one.

    I don't suppose Pfizer will care too much after they have sold the vaccines anyway, because it is can't be held liable to any medical compensation claims relating to vaccines.

    Not great if my experience was anything to go by. I still had residual chest pains and minor breathlessness in August after having the virus in late March/early April. I feel fit as a fiddle now though.

    I sense that you have a lot of fear so I think getting the vaccine would definitely be the right choice for you to put your mind at rest.
