Nope, I've got more chance of experiencing bad side effects from the vaccine than experiencing bad symptoms from catching COVID.
Are you sure about that one?
I mean you
might not wind up in the hospital, but COVID is no walk in the park, especially if you get Long COVID.
I would put Long COVID as probably the #2 worst illness I've ever had. Mono is #1, and cancer is probably #3.
But Long COVID is definitely #1 as far as longevity is concerned. Mono only lasted about seven months.
Cancer should not be compared to or ranked less severe than COVID-19. Some cancers occur without any symptoms, then by the time you do get some sort of symptoms the cancer has already spread and cannot be cured. My mum was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and is still suffering 5 years later, and it won't ever go away. She's been physically ill for 5 years, and when I say ill, I literally mean ill.
So many people, particularly younger and healthy people, get over COVID without being ill or needing treatment. But if you get cancer and it isn't spotted early enough, it is usually a death sentence.
