those that have been infected and survived (around 99.9% of cases survive)
The survival rate of infected individuals, that is those that don't die, is between 99% and 95% of those that catch Covid. The survival rate with no long term associated conditions is about 75%-85%. The survival rate among 60+ is much lower graduating towards 60% and below 40 year old or so better than 99%, with current strains that is. The US is running at just under 2% death rate from Covid pre vaccination, the UK running at about 2.5%. Australia is around 2.8%, so to be specific your chance from dieing in Australia, should you catch Covid is currently sitting at 2.8%, or 97.2% survival rate. Which is roughly the same chance of dieing if you try to intentionally kill yourself using prescribed medication, so intentionally catching Covid gives you similar rates of death to intentional suicide attempts.

The vaccine is classed as experimental in the USA and is released here in Aus under an emergency authorisation.
If you are referring to Astro Zeneca, only two versions manufactured in Asia are classified as such. Don't rely on simple google searches for this stuff, it is actually complicated and different manufacturers and location of manufacture of the same named vaccine have different approvals for use.

The manufacturers and the government plus the doctors and nurses are all indemnified from any liability regarding the administration of this vax
All Covid vaccines have been given general exemptions to liability.

In ten years we probably wont find a never infected person. Except perhaps lead balloon on his 11,000sq property
The down side to this tactic is that when you are finally exposed to the virus it could be worse, as you havn't built up progressive immunity to its effects. Similar to the European nations introducing viruses to native populations around the world. The longer you sit out these things the worse it could be for you.
