Should You Get The COVID-19 Vaccine? An Analysis Of The Evidence & Risk

Alexander Emmanual Sandalis Talking Chimps Podcast 🦍

Is it riskier to get the COVID-19 vaccine or get COVID-19? This video aim's to objectively summarise the literature on the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine and how to interpret and critically evaluate the data to make an informed decision on the risk associated with receiving the vaccine versus not. However, this video does not just analyse the empirical evidence. It considers how the evidence is applicable based on one's subjective risk profile and tolerance for risk. I hope this analysis can provide clarity, objectivity and critical thought to help people make informed decisions around COVID-19.
