The Prophet 22;c-420043 wroteHave decided against it so far. Will probably wait awhile longer here In Brazil. I live in a closed campus. We have had people in the city actually die after having the shots. The only thing that may speed up the decision as if I decide to come home at Christmas. Otherwise I am waiting until 2022.

How many people have actually died as a direct result of having a shot? Were the deaths related to a specific vaccine? How many people in Brazil have died because they weren't vaccinated and contracted Covid? Perhaps getting some reliable data would change your views.
Here's some numbers to consider for Brazil:
Population of Brazil - 213,908,943
Coronavirus cases - 15,815,191 (7.4% of total population)
Coronavirus deaths - 441,864 (2.8% of total cases; 0.2% of total population)
I can't find information on adverse effects from COVID-19 vaccinations in Brazil but looking at the US numbers, deaths resulting from vaccination MAY be as much as 0.0017% in the US (17 people per 1,000,000 vaccinations):
Over 273 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines were administered in the United States from December 14, 2020, through May 17, 2021. During this time, VAERS received 4,647 reports of death (0.0017%) among people who received a COVID-19 vaccine. CDC and FDA physicians review each case report of death as soon as notified and CDC requests medical records to further assess reports. A review of available clinical information, including death certificates, autopsy, and medical records has not established a causal link to COVID-19 vaccines. However, recent reports indicate a plausible causal relationship between the J&J/Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine and a rare and serious adverse event—blood clots with low platelets—which has caused deaths.

Being a poker player you obviously understand odds. Don't you think the odds are in your favour to get vaccinated sooner rather than later? Just sayin.
