if you get a serious adverse event following a vaccination, however unlikely, who pays for your medical expenses since the link with vaccines is always denied?
Why are you emotionally invested in trying to bump up COVID’s kill count? If you can explain the motive, maybe we can find an alternate way for you to work towards that goal with fewer casualties.
Your health insurance, presumably. It's another argument for public health insurance.
Understand that the expected benefit of getting COVID vaccines should be positive for everyone -- the expected harm from side effects should be less (often much less) than the expected harm from COVID infection.
There could be public policy reasons for being generous with compensation for side effects, just to increase the vaccination rate, but I think that's a separate issue, and has more to do with the unequal distribution of benefit in a vaccinated population. It could make sense for the old to compensate the young, as the old get more benefit out of others being vaccinated.
Everyone, including the vaccine manufacturers, is aware of the possibility of rare reactions. This system exists because "no one will make vaccines because a jury of twelve lay people may award a $500M penalty because little Timmy got autism despite there being no link" is a national security threat.
