I am a contented VAC; that is, I'm vaccinated but not just for Covid. Thanks to my thirty years as a pilot in the USAF, my veins are coursing with all manner of medical elixirs.
Some for plague, yellow fever, dengue, typhoid. Others for run of the mill threats to my health such as polio, flu and even a tetanus shot to smite infections from small cuts that I might get especially while in tropical settings.
When offered the Covid vaccination and, later, its booster at my local VA hospital, I didn't hesitate to be vaccinated. I'm ready for recall; ready to serve my nation anew.
What I don't understand is why some of my fellow citizens don't take the elemental precaution of being vaccinated to ward off Covid. People are dying from it. Why take the risk by refusing the vaccine?
Driving a car puts you at a far, far greater risk than being vaccinated for Covid. However, although I don't understand your decision, I'm all for it, enriching the gene pool foremost
For most people (anyone below the age of 65 without co-morbidities) the risk of dying of covid is minute... tiny... negligible. Even the most scariest varient had mortality within the envelope of a bad flu. This omicron is a mild cold and effectively nature's vaccine. However the injection (it's not a vaccine in the sense of a dead or attenuated form of the disease -- rather it is an experimental mRNA gene therapy of a type which has never before succeeded in coming to market due to many concerns in regards to safety, but which has been pushed through on the basis of an "emergency") has known acute risks (especially myocarditis for the young who are at very low risk from covid) and totally unknown medium and long term risks. What is for certain though is that natural immunity is far more robust than any injection. There is also evidence that the immune system is permanently compromised by this injection and that the efficacy of the injection quickly becomes negative (!!). Which is fine if you want your immune system to be on a subscription to Pfizer... others might want to rely on their innate immunity: humanity has survived as a species not from avoiding disease but by getting sick and recovering... So in regards to enriching the gene pool: you better be careful what you wish for. I hope this helps you better understand...
You have twice defined your dilemma, when you stated "I don't understand." I stated the answer to your question. Understanding is available to you, but this isn't the place to further seek it. Take care, friend.
Bill, your musings and missives always make a lot of sense, BUT, what would you do if you were the federal reserve chairman? What about if you were the president? How can you increase interest rates, control inflation and shut down the printing press? My questions are not pompous, rather I would like to hear your learned idea about a path forward which might work, always considering what Einstein taught us; the fourth dimension time.
Well, am resting easy here Bill, brokers are telling us the only protection against inflation and printing is owning assets. They don’t specify however.

Because the risks of serious adverse effects, including death, from the (non!)vaccine are greater than the risk of death from the virus.
