Good News -
Previous COVID infection (assuming survival) gives protection.
So the scare figures of millions of 'cases' might not be so bad after all.

People who recover from coronavirus have a similar level of protection
against future infection as those who receive a Covid vaccine – at
least for the first five months, research suggests.
A Public Health England (PHE) study of more than 20,000 healthcare
workers found that immunity acquired from an earlier Covid infection
provided 83% protection against reinfection for at least 20 weeks.
-------------------

Bad News -
1)  Some people do have a bad reaction to the vaccine.
2)  If COVID mutates rapidly (as seems to be happening) then there may
need to be an annual vaccination, like the flu jab every winter.
