Merck, one of the biggest drug companies in the world, just declared that you are safer to get the virus and have your body build up a natural immunity to it than to take a vaccine.
The decision followed a review of findings from Phase 1 clinical studies for the vaccine candidates.

Merck said Monday that it was discontinuing the development of its two
Covid-19 vaccine candidates after early clinical trial data showed an "inferior" immune response.
Merck said in a statement posted on its website the decision to scrap the two vaccine candidates followed its review of findings from Phase 1 clinical studies. The studies showed that both candidates were generally well tolerated, but the immune responses were inferior to those seen following natural infection with Covid-19 and those reported for other Covid-19 vaccines.
