Easy for Jonathan Isaac to say (me I’m not chancing it)….

The loving your neighbor line is so freaking frustrating. Taking the vaccine is the easiest way to actually make the lives of those around you better, particularly if they're immune-compromised or suffering from other critical illnesses that require intensive care. He himself acknowledges that rarity of his having adverse symptoms from a vaccine. Like, being supportive of everyone's decision to take or not take a vaccine doesn't actually change material living conditions of your neighbors, but having a population that is highly vaccinated can literally save your neighbors' lives.
If he goes with the language, "I'm scared of the vaccine and I'm not convinced that a second bout of Covid is riskier than the side-effects of a vaccine" at least he's being intellectually honest. But hiding behind 'love your neighbor' as a way to preemptively shield himself from criticism is such a vapid, empty sentiment.
