Chode You said you’d rather develop natural immunity, which surely means you’d rather get Covid than have the vaccine. Seems an odd choice, that’s all.
Ah, yes. I see what you mean.
I didn't phrase it very well. Though I think, on balance, I would probably go for getting natural immunity (by catching it) than having a vaccination. I have done nothing special to stop myself from catching Covid since March. I have always washed my hands when I come in from outside, public transport etc, and before and after touching food. I've done nothing different at all. I've paid for things with money rather than cards; I've picked stuff up off the floor; I've eaten a sandwich in the car without "sanitising" my hands; I've not bought anti-bac stuff; I've not wiped shopping; I've been to friends' houses; I've had my teenagers' friends here; I've eaten out; I've basically ignored everything except social distancing and masks - but that's because I'm not quite enough of a dick to inflict my own done-careishness on random members of the public.
That said: if I were immuno-compromised, say, and would be likely to die of Covid, I'd opt for the vaccination. Though if I were an immuno-compromised 90 yr old, I wouldn't, on the grounds that something's got to kill me at some point, so it might as well be Covid (doesn't mean everyone should think that, or that I'm wishing death on all old people: just the way I would think about myself).
And if, as a PP mentions as a 'what if', 60% of the population having the vaccination meant that we could be released from this Covid Hell and get on with our lives properly, I'd have it then, too.
I'm absolutely not an anti-Vaxxer. Just have a bit of a preference not to vaccinate unless it's absolutely necessary.
