Also have good data now on vaccine side-effects. The % chance of getting one of the major bad side effects is not insignificant, but it is less than the % chance of getting the exact same long term ill effect from covid itself. Combine this with spread and viral load of delta, and the pendulum has shifted in my mind so the risk of the jab is now worth it in my mind.
That's pretty much the analysis I made. So far no ragrets.
