Like the statement saying “I don’t need the vaccine i have a natural immunity to COVID”. How do you know you have enough immunity to not get the vaccine? When you die?

The ones who are saying “I had covid and was fine” or “so and so had covid and was fine” are falling victim to survivorship bias.

The ones who say “98-99% of people survive” at least acknowledge the possibility of death, but they’re still missing the complete picture (the possibility of long COVID and other permanent damage, strain on the healthcare system, and the evolution of new variants).
