Well this is fun.

Someone in one of the groups I'm in started a thread about "How many of us have been vaccinated?" and I asked why the hell I'd want to get vaccinated if I'd already had Der Coof and these are the responses I'm getting:
- "There are new strains of the disease that you could still get sick from even if you've already had COVID. Think about it like influenza. There are new strains of influenza each year and new vaccines developed to help your body fight against those. It's also a good idea to get vaccinate for herd immunity."
- "You're taking a chance between getting COVID again and having side effects of the vaccine. The side effects are quite mild in general and well-documented, whereas with COVID it varies widely and depends on the particular variant you get."
- "If I had to choose (and I guess I am, as a pregnant woman to boot), I would definitely take the known side effects over the unknowns of having the virus."
- "There's also the very practical nature of the vaccine passport, which may soon open up more activities for you to do, should you get vaccinated."
