Yes. Any day, and twice on Sunday. If 90% of COVID deaths in the US could have been prevented (in fact, many could have been)[0][1], that cuts this whole thing down to a very bad flu season, comparable to the 1957 flu pandemic [3].

Would you rather not cut your risk by 90%?

Edit: Incidentally, I have been hit by cars while walking 3 times. No injuries, luckily, since they were very low speed impacts.

Why are you seemingly advocating against something (getting a booster shot) that's also extremely unlikely to harm you?
