That's understandable. As tempting as it is to just treat everyone that's hesitant about the vaccines like they're idiots, humans really are inherently bad at risk analysis. Not everyone has the ability to be reassured by numbers that show vaccination is clearly the safer option, which is something that's difficult but important to sympathize with in interacting with skeptics. Actually seeing the near-worst case scenario arise and be dealt with so trivially does a lot more to assuage those concerns than any number of statistics will. On the flip side, this is why so many families are making the decision to get vaccinated after a family member dies of Covid: Until they actually see the disease first-hand, it's hard to recognize just how dangerous it can be.

7 of 6.8 Mil doses.
compared against 35.4k cases of covid vs 927 deaths.

i haven't been outside in 6 weeks so maybe my risk is less

Dude, that is a 0.0000000103% chance of dying from the vaccine talk about a HUGE risk!

yeah man you get it. i think also choosing to get the vaccine as opposed to having no choice when it comes to getting covid plays a big part.

My second dose was unpleasant enough that I'll hold off on a booster shot until they're actually definitively recommended. Once they are, I'll be in there as soon as I can, but unless there are actually clear, significant benefits, it's not worth it.

Of course, even then, I still might not. My province is currently average 1-2 new cases per day, which isn't exactly high risk. We'll probably see a fourth wave when students come back next month, though, so perhaps it'll be recommended then. Either way, I'll be listening to local recommendations.
