The cure for covid was stay home and isolate and very few required treatment further than how they treat themselves going through a regular flu. I know of at least two people that took the shot and developed blood clots and died from the vaccine.
If I don’t take the vaccine I have zero percent chance at the side effects from it. If I do then I may or may not minimize my chances of covid(which is not fearful in my opinion) but also open up a new can of worms.
I may be wrong or I may be right. I guess I’m basing it off personal experience as much as possible and feeling that natural immunity has zero side effects and also reduces the chance of reinfection and transmission, but will not let one into a hockey game like vaccine immunity.
What calculations did you use to make your medical decisions?

If you don't take it, 100% chance you don't get side effects from it - true - but rather than basing it on the experience of you and a dozen others you know - use a larger sample size. If you want to use numbers to make the decision for you:
As of August 6 - 50.25 million doses given in Canada and 3063 serious adverse affects (0.006%).
Don't take it - 100% chance of no serious side effects
Take it - 99.994% chance of no serious side effects.
Want to include all side effects, including serious and non-serious... it's 0.018%. Still pretty good odds compared to the 1.84% death rate from Covid in Canada.
