I can see the logic


It depends on the studies you read/believe, IMHO. I'm just pulling numbers out of my butt, but what if you have the following conclusions:

1) At age 15, you have a 3% chance of getting seriously ill if you catch COVID
2) At any age, you have a 4% chance of negative effects of taking the vaccine

That would provide some second thoughts, IMHO. Even though the ramifications of the first likely outweigh those of the second, it's a risk-reward question. But I'm with you -- the risk is still out there, it's for more than just me, so I still lean toward the vaccination. We'll be getting my nine-year-old vaccinated when it's approved.
