    If we're talking about taking it at the expense of someone else getting it, no. I'm not in any high risk group, and so other people would benefit more.

    I also know people in pharma, and I know how they do statistics for this type of thing. There could be rare side-effects that, by choice of study size and luck, have not come to light (with 43k participants, they'd only see side effect that affects 1 in 100k people about 1/3 of the time). And they've only had less than a year, so there's no way to observe if there are long-term side effects. Again, though, I'm in a low risk group. Those odds might be acceptable for someone in a higher risk group.
