“Vaccines are not just for disease prevention, but it’s also to prevent you from getting a severe form of the disease (if you get infected) that sends you to the hospital or worse. Flu every year and Covid every year still cause significant mortality in the country.”

Correlation vs causation. Think ice cream sales and crime. Both increase during summer but buying ice cream does not make you commit crime. Re: Tylenol - A 2024 Swedish study of siblings compared outcomes of siblings who were either exposed or not exposed to Tylenol. No causal link was found.
