The compensation is not missing weeks or years due to Covid... or in rarer cases, you know, dying.

But think of the opportunity cost!

If you're under 40 and you spread the virus to your over 50 boss she has at least an order of magnitude more chance of dying than you. You could then move up the corporate ladder with her departure.

How about the reverse!

If you're a 8 year old male, you get the shot and die of myocarditis, but the 82 yr old overweight cancer patient gets an extra 4 months!!! YAY!

Myocarditis is about 8x more likely when getting COVID than when getting a covid vaccine, so nope, even an 8-yo should get shot out of pure self interest. (If their chance of catching COVID in the next few years is more than 1/8, which it certainly is.)

Sloppy job.

Yes, not having a place to live is so much better than the 99.9% survival rate for someone in my age group.

How would getting covid be in any way preferable for someone in your age group than getting the vaccine?

You're guaranteed to get one or the other, likely both.
