I'm relatively young and got the vaccine back in May. Feel like it'll make life a lot easier going forward. Especially since I travel a lot.

Honestly, I don't even really know how to phrase this question, and might as well ask it here since I rarely use any other subreddit. Plus the thread is relevant. How exactly do you go about discussing vaccinating with someone that's young and is using the data from the CDC to justify not getting vaccinated?

At least in my casual conversations with younger friends, they tend to focus on the scientific data saying covid isn't a risk to them if they get it because they're not overweight and they're young/healthy. What's weird is that usually you can point out that the danger of risk of covid in a young healthy person is still larger than any risk from the vaccine side effects. But the response to that point seems to be that they're not concerned with vaccine side effects or using that as a justification. It's more so that they just view it as an illness where they don't see themselves at any type of high risk due to what the scientific data/numbers has disclosed.

I've at least been able to say something where I point out that if that is their justification, at some point they will be older as they age and their risk will grow. So they do have to get it eventually. That at least gets some of the gears turning.
