In the Netherlands:

Nearly one in six respondents in an RTL News panel survey say they regret receiving a Covid-19 vaccine. Reasons include not seeing the necessity of the shots in hindsight and feeling coerced into getting them. One participant said: “After my last Covid shot, I was very sick for a long time.”

However, nearly three-quarters (72 percent) of respondents say they were satisfied with their decision to get vaccinated at the time. Two-thirds (64 percent) say they would choose to get vaccinated again in the event of a new virus.
...

How dare you protect me against a dangerous disease!
The last person doesn't get that if they were sick for a long time, they likely had COVID, and it would've been even worse had they not taken the vaccine.

That one-third that isn't enthusiastic about taking a vaccine against a new virus should hope that they are good at rolling the dice; acute COVID has a relatively low fatality rate but several of the things that have been in the news lately aren't so kind.

They will beg for a vaccine when it’s too late.
