Not everyone who could have gotten exposed to COVID is exposed. Not everyone who is exposed develops an active infection. Not everyone who is infected develops noticeable symptoms. The last one is most likely, especially if you're young and/or don't pay a lot of attention to your physical condition. Maybe you just thought you had a cold; maybe you just felt a little "off" for a few days.
You may as well say that guns don't exist because you went outside without a bulletproof vest and nobody shot you.
>>13870935>over 50% would have died anywayWrong. 100% would have died anyway, because LITERALLY EVERYONE DIES, eventually. The issue is more about how long it takes. I know you're probably still a teenager and think 70 is old to the point of being unable to move or take care of yourself, but that's not reality. Maybe you think it makes no difference if someone who has a perfectly happy and healthy existence lives another 15 years, or dies today, but there is obviously a difference.
>is not tested for long term effectsThere is nothing novel about this vaccine that would require such studies, as its mechanism and effects are already understood, in whole or in collection. If Coca-cola develops a new flavor of soda that is slightly different from any other's they've had, are you also going to demand they study it for a decade to make sure it doesn't somehow have some unknown side-effect, that no other soda has? Of fucking course not. That's absurd.
As for myself, I had it once in July of 2020. It wasn't bad because I'm healthy and in my late 30's, but it was definitely different from a cold or flu, with different symptoms and presentation. My roommate was tested positive, so Occam's Razor indicates I also had it.
