For highly vulnerable people? Fine, go get it. Decently healthy people? Nope.

Why?

Lots of us went through the “immunization” routine and got Covid anyways. Many of us are very healthy and under the age of 65.

In the before times, you would question an intervention before you bothered with it. Now, to do so is immediately faced with pressure and suspicion.

These new “boosters” will have the uptake of a fart in a space suit. No thanks.

Did you think vaccine will protect you from getting COVID or from getting really sick/death?

The later. I always understood it would not prevent infection. By the time my wife and I got Covid it was January 2022, when everybody got covid. By then, our primary series was meaningless. We got the booster three months later and that was the end of this nonsense for me.

My immune system is the strongest it’s been in my adult life. I have zero concerns.

For my parents who are in their late 70s. Yes, they should be worried and should be using the intervention given the risks. For healthy people in middle age, to many unknowns and the risk is effectively zero.

No one will get it except old people.

Why not? No different from getting a flu shot. I’ll follow my doctor’s recommendations and our pediatrician’s recommendations, per usual.

I made it through the first few rounds of pressure to get the original shots and boosters. Had a mild case of covid in April 2022. I don't intend to start getting covid shots now or in the fall.

Sorry Fauci and big pharma - no more boosters.

I'll get it. It's a bit annoying to feel sick the day after, but it is only a day.

Nope. Not interested in the least. Officially done with boosters since December 2021.

I may pay attention if the UK and EU presses talk about boosters. I trust them for Covid news more than any American sources.

That's because the shot does not prevent you from getting Covid. The shot prevent you from getting deathly ill when you get Covid. I will get the booster if it's offered along with my flu shot, which I also get every year.

I got both last year why would not you be able to?

Same reason we do flu shot.

I get it right before thanksgiving to get me through the holidays.

I've gotten all shots I've been eligible for as a healthy 47 year old, but now that I've gotten COVID last fall (thankfully after the new booster, which I think helped my case be extremely mild), I have hybrid immunity and at this point it seems like boosters are mainly to boost antibodies in people who are immunocompromised and older.

If the recommendation is different and they are recommending I get one, I'll consider it, but it seems like it going to be for the over 50 crowd.

+1. I will take as many as it takes. I don't understand anti-vax idiots posting here.

I'm not anti-vax. I had my first, my second, and my booster, that is enough. I'm not doing this again. Just not. Go ahead and wish death on me, it's fine.
