Because covid can have lasting effects or be deadly even to healthy or young people. For every case of covid that passed without much trouble or a vaccination that went south, there are many more that are the opposite.

I've already acknowledged that in extremely rare cases young and healthy people can be laid low by the virus. People can also roll out of bed and break their necks or be stuck by lightning if they are extremely unlucky, the world is full of potential dangers and death some small and some not so small. My point is that the risk for me personally simply isn't high enough for me to pay it any mind.

I'm going to have to ask for a citation on that second point of yours. Again, people seem to keep forgetting about how this whole thing was presented last year, but one of the biggest concerns were the asymptomatic carriers. That's why testing was pushed so hard because there was a significant chance you would have no idea you even had it when you were "sick". Just that alone, a sickness so mild it isn't apparent you even have it for many, is part of what I mean about not finding it worrying. Beyond that though, it is impossible to know how many people had it and will never know in addition to the numbers we do have which show that even for those who tested positive the recovery rate was extremely high unless you already had one foot in the grave. So the recovery rate is actually higher (probably significantly) than what the CDC reports.

Hell there's a decent chance I actually have had it already myself since my roommate got it (and was 100% fine other losing his sense of taste for about a week).
