In this thread, getting a vaccine has been compared multiple times to wearing a seatbelt.
If I ever didn't wear a seatbelt, got into an accident, and died, so be it. It's done and over quickly.
But if I didn't wear a seatbelt, got into an accident, and had to live paralyzed for the rest of my life, knowing that if I had just put the seatbelt on things would've been different, that would be the most painful experience of all.
I cannot imagine how some of these people feel in their last moments with that very simple thought. That alone would push me toward getting vaccinated if I were ever on the fence.
And all of the above isn't even considering that getting vaccinated is actually doing a societal good. Actually being patriotic. Actually sacrificing if your initial inclination is to avoid it.
