Don't be dumb. Get the jab when getting an offer.
OIne in three infected has no symptoms. The horror trip you are saved from yourself if you get infected but are asymptomatic, you still can bring onto sombody else whom you infect without even ever knowing it. Even multiple others.

Not to sound cruel, but, so what? People have asymptomatically infected others with flu, RSV, rhinovirus, coronavirus, etc. for centuries - with some of them being hospitalized or dying from pneumonia. They've asymptomatically infected partners with STDs, as well, also leading to deaths. I'm sure some may have asymptomatically infected people with ebola.
Explain to me why this is any different whatsoever to any other virus in history, when covid-19 is acting like every other virus in history?
Rather than scrambling to have the whole world get a shot, the whole world should be using it on the elderly, health workers, and the immune-compromised and let everyone else live their lives without lockdowns, social distancing, or mask mandates and let them decide for themselves their level of risk. Eighty percent of those infected are asymptomatic or varying degrees of sick not requiring hospitalization - most don't even know they had it unless they get tested for antibodies. We need to stop acting like this is airborne ebola - of the 20% that require hospitalization, you eliminate the elderly and immune-compromised and now you are dealing with maybe 5%. Given the much improved treatments based upon a year of experience, there would be no need to ration care or overwhelm hospitals and the availability and efficacy of HCQ, ivermectin, monoclonal antibodies means you can virtually eliminate deaths except for those who were so feeble they would have been killed by something else anyway.
How do you think the very first wave of "standard" rhinovirus or coronavirus went, when it first infected humans? This coronavirus will end up the same way - becoming a nuisance fall/winter illness.
