• Heard a discussion about similar a few days ago. He believed that a large portion of those still not vaccinated but are elligable for vaccination were ppl who had allrdy had the virus and and not thought it worth to then also get vaccinated. Could be a pretty large group. Esp since we were first told it protected against future infections pretty well and it was almost unheard of ppl getting it twice.
    If u have had it, how likely is it you will get it bad the 2nd time, i have not seen any numbers at all which i find unsatisfactory.

    Lets say you are 20-50 years old. A total number of deaths in sweden for this age group amounts to 170 or similar. So u had it and suffered no long term effects, what are the dangers for you in contracting the virus again? The risk reward ratio is likely not all that good of an incentive but since i never saw any numbers on this i can only guess ofc. But if the risk is still big i would have thought that could be a good incentive to get a group of ppl onboard with the vaccination that perhaps had not yet come around to it. Esp now when it seems they are not protecting their old and frail to any major degree, without numbers why should they risk it?

    I suspect a large number of unvaccinated are needlephobic. The only way I’ve been able to get through the injections without crippling panic attacks, is by telling myself that I need to be well for my kids.

  • Ah very important point that tends to be overlooked too.
    Someone in a podcast I like said that the images of huge syringes used all the time probably doesn't help people like you with phobia.

    @badboybjorn of course the "I don't need the shot" people exist. Be it because they believe it's harmless for them, or because they think that they have good immunity from a previous infection.
    But to be honest the majority of those might be what I consider antivaxxers.
    At least my small sample group of (youngish) non vaccinated friends definitely use any excuse, and claim to have had it with minor problems.
