Yes I know this. It’s the severity that I am trying to minimize. It’s a safer way to build protection: Getting a COVID-19 vaccine is a safer, more reliable way to build protection than getting sick with COVID-19. Long Covid is believed to be based on viral load. The first time I had Covid there was no vaccine. And yes I do all the other things including wearing masks, avoiding crowds, etc. getting the vaccine helps prevent serious illness and that’s what I am after.
