If only it was that simple. Unfortunately harm from covid is part of the equation.
Odds are the harm to you will be greater if you're unvaccinated when you get covid, odds are greater that you'll pass it on to someone, and odds are greater you'll be taking up healthcare resources that someone else could use. I've posted too many links to you in the past that haven't made any difference. You probably haven't read any of them. No point in trotting them out again here.
But you believe your risk is greater from the vaccine, for reasons that you dig up from a few medical quacks who will tell you what you want to hear for the right speaking fee - there were doctors who promoted cigarettes, remember - and there are endless articles from anonymous "journalists" and known crackpots and PhDs in English literature, and so forth.
For some reason you're more comfortable with them.
No shit. Personal risk is what matters. Why would i, or anybody that’s not in an aggregate high-risk group, risk a vaccination injury when we have virtually no risk from covid in the first place?
There are a lot of people out there who are compromised through no fault of their own. Some people here on OmegaCanada - the "they're only sick because they're fat" crowd - refuse to think about those people, the ones with asthma, cancer, cerebral palsy, chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis, diabetes, emphysema, epilepsy, high blood pressure, kidney disease, motor neurone disease (MND), multiple sclerosis (MS), neurofibromatosis, parkinson's disease, pneumonia, sleep apnea, ...
Then there are the people taking immunosuppressive medications after organ transplants or for conditions such as addison disease, matomyositis, graves disease, hashimoto thyroiditis, pernicious anemia, arthritis, lupus, and others.
Maybe you know someone with one of these or other conditions. There's less chance you'll infect them if you're vaccinated.

Yes, this is actually a thing. Covid risk is different for different groups of people.
That's just personal risk.
