" #COVID19 has 99% recovery rate. Why Vaccine?"
This is dangerously 1-dimensional thinking.
That "99% recovery rate" has come at the cost of deferred or delayed treatment of Non-COVID pts, who by the way are equally important.

Estimates say, only by May 2020, globally, 2,84,04,603 surgeries must have been cancelled. Imagine what that figure must be now.
Here's that study from CovidSurg Global Collaborative.
An estimate for India stood at 5.8lakh surgeries - In MAY 2020. https://bjssjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/bjs.11746

Hospitals have managed to accomodate treatments of COVID patients by having to cut down on elective surgeries, delaying treatment to non-emergency patients and pts with chronic diseases, etc.
Add to it, hesitancy of pts in going to a hospital due to fear of getting infected.

While you may bask in your "99% recovery rate" shown by the media,
Doctors and Nurses have constantly been risking getting infected in non-stop COVID duties for 10 months now.
Don't forget India's 1.5lakh deaths includes Healthcare workers as well.

The fear and apprehension of getting infected, the many many many effects of a pandemic on the mental well-being of a human being cannot be ignored either. That "99% recovery rate" doesn't mean we let this pandemic go on and on and resolve on it's own.

Just because there is a pandemic at hand, it doesn't mean that other essential and non-essential healthcare services stop existing.

You ask me why Vaccine?
Your opinion is shaped by the media that is only reporting a "99% recovery" and "vaccine side effects".
My opinion is shaped by the real world situation, considering a huge number of factors, in hospitals all across the nation.
We are not the same.

We all want this pandemic to end.
That "99% recovery rate" is not going to end it.
A vaccine will.
