Even if you get mild or asymptomatic COVID you can still transmit it while you are infectious, reducing the infection reduces the period you are infectious contributing to preventing it's spread and keeps your loved ones safer. Now it's starting to look like the vaccines reduce transmission significantly.
Aunt or Grandma (daughter, son, wife, brother or sister.) doesn't get the vaccine, fearful from all the rumours and reports, then you give them a dose of your mild COVID case, they die or suffer long COVID. Do you take the credit for that and is that part of the risk calculation?
The vaccine isn't just about self!
PS; COVID already here in the environment, you can't lock it out with a border closure or downing all the planes.
The Government just need to make that clear that a few cattle wont make it to market and we are sorry but opening borders etc is more important than you are...
