Take your pick!
If I was in the high risk category, I would have gotten the vaccine. According to the CDC, based on all people my age, the chances of me being hospitalized with Covid is 266.3 in 100,000. That’s .00266. Also according to the CDC 87% of those hospitalized were obese or overweight, I am neither. That drops my odds to .000346. Also according to the CDC, those hospitalized had an average of 2.4 of these preexisting conditions; heart disease, lung disease, diabetes or hypertension. Since I also have none of those issues, the chances of me being hospitalized with Covid are considerably less than .000346.
I choose not to accept the long term uncertainty based on my odds. Enjoy your cruise...
