What I don't understand about people not interested in taking the vaccine is the obvious protection it offers you. Even if it doesn't protect you 100% from getting Covid, it does prevent you from developing serious symptoms. Isn't that enough of a motivator?
I think everyone understands by now that being young and healthy isn't a guarantee that you won't develop serious symptoms which could turn fatal. But even the "normal" symptoms are quite undesirable. My sister had it and went through a terrible time. Why not make sure this will not happen to you?
The fear of potential side effects outweighs the benefits?

The chance for a young person to get dangerously ill from it are so small that then you might as well get paranoid about lots of other things. It just scares people more because it's new and unknown. That being said I don't have any vulnerable loved ones so care for others isn't a motivator for me either. For me it's just that I want to get my old life back.
