CV and mad panic behaviour

[Mav]

If we think it’s OK for them to give it to their youngies why don’t we give it to ours? Would that be seen as pragmatic?

In a country where Covid is circulating a lot, it’s a lot easier to disregard the fear of individuals that they might die of side effects. The logic becomes that there is a much greater chance of a person of any age dying of Covid as opposed to side effects.

Individuals are also more likely to make a rational choice to vaccinate if they have a 1% chance of dying from Covid and a 0.00001% chance of dying from side effects (I’m putting those percentages up only for the sake of argument: the actual percentages might be different).

In Australia, the prospect of the Eastern States eliminating Covid in the near future makes it harder to weigh risks and benefits.
