The COVID shot’s real problem is that it makes you feel sick for a day and a half so you basically need to get it on Friday and plan to do nothing all weekend and you feel better in time to go back to work Monday morning. No one wants that.

The flu shot does the same to me. I still get my flu shot, because a weekend of low-grade malaise is better than a week of flu. Same with covid. I'd much rather feel crap for a day and a half than for two+ weeks with another two+ weeks of not being able to taste properly and the possibility of long covid.

The shots aren't fun, but they're awesome and I'm glad we have access to them (for now).

Wow! So the vaccines worked so well for you! If you were sick enough to need Paxlovid, you were pretty sick.

I will never take one of these vaccines again.

I think the rise in cancers since 2021 is alarming. I had the J&J vaccine, followed by one Modern jab and nothing since. I had one mild case of Covid in December 2022 and have never had it again. Honestly, the people I know who keep going back for vaccines, keep getting Covid. My teenagers will not ever be getting anymore Covid vaccines.

Hope this makes you feel better - that article has been RETRACTED. It is BS.

You got the new fall booster and you have covid already?

Well, isn't that convenient for the vaccine manufacturers? It doesn't make me feel better.

Interesting. The researchers disagree with the retraction.

I’m not as focused on the correlation between mortality rates and vaccination status but more interested in cancer diagnosis and vaccination status. We’ll see where this leads, if anywhere.

Yes anti Vaccer, because the most recent vaccine doesn't match the most recent variants

Is there any point in getting it then? I’m vacillating on whether to get a booster for myself and mother. We got flu shots, pretty much no side effects.

Virginia released new weekly covid booster data today. The results were surprising as there was almost no new uptake reported last week, leaving uptake shares unchanged. While a continued slowdown in booster uptake had been expected given historical patterns, this result was surprising. It's possible that there were reporting delays given Thanksgiving's approach, although that did not appear to affect this week's flu shot data. We'll know better after seeing next week's data as to whether calendar quirks are depressing this week's covid booster figures. https://www.vdh.virginia.gov/epidemiology/respiratory-diseases-in-virginia/data/vaccines/
