Was asked by a woman in her late 20s whether she should get the vaccine as she was concerned about the risk of side effects (never mind she was overweight and a smoker).
My reply was that whatever the side-effects of a vaccine, catching Covid would be worse.
I then said that at some point she almost definitely will catch Covid as it is going nowhere and will be an endemic infection for years to come.
Finally I told her that although none of my patients her age have died from Covid, a fair number have been hospitalised many of whom are still not back to how they were many months ago.
Still not sure if she'll get it - idiots gotta be idiots.
