A vaccinated person who gets #COVID has at least a 3% likelihood of developing #LongCovid.
People taking no precautions and getting infected repeatedly tell me all the time they think I'm crazy to ride a motorcycle "because it's so dangerous."
The motorcycle fatality rate is <30 per 100 million miles.
I'd have to ride >100,000 miles for my risk of death to equal the risk of disability from one COVID infection.
People are horrendous at reality-based risk calculations.
