You're Far Less Likely to Spread the Coronavirus If You're Vaccinated

"Less likely?" Ok, I'll give you that since I cannot prove otherwise. However, all the folks that I know NOW that are infected, have been vaccinated. Of course, it is always good to have the positive feeling that one has made the right decision when you think others have not. Why not say something that CAN possibly be proved and that those that have the vaccination will have milder symptoms than those that did not receive the vaccination? Of course, I also know of many family members that caught the dreaded covid prior to vaccinations being available and they had minor symptoms, milder than my own that I incurred after being vaccinated and still catching covid. I am not attempting to convince anyone NOT to get the vaccinations, but I do take issue with those that use static arguments versus a dynamic reasoning process.

Perhaps a possible means of conveying the message is to inform folks that there is way more of a chance of becoming infected with the dreaded covid virus now than before and that IF they are vaccinated, they may-MAY have milder symptoms than if they are not vaccinated. You may also inform them that they are less likely to be hospitalized, even though it is still a possibility. The unvaccinated are not the enemy. Covid is the enemy.
