A friend of mine got the original shot only and has gotten covid 3 or 4 times since. She works from home.

I do think covid does a number on folks' immune systems, making it more likely they'll get it again after the first time.

Great anecdote! I on the other hand have only had the original two shots back in Spring '21, and have never had covid. Despite being around my kids who have each had it each twice, coworkers who have had it, and in large packed with hordes of people convention centers many times for my kid's sport.

See how that works?

Right? PP, completely ignorant, says, "I do believe." I had one initial round of Covid vaccines and have never had Covid. I work in an office, grocery shop, go to parties, the mall, travel. And I do not wear a mask, ever. Just like many viruses, including the 1918/19 flu, the virus ripped through the community, killing those who were vulnerable at very high rates. Herd immunity kicked in, the virus mutated, and became endemic. This was going to happen. It always happens, for millennia. The vaccines had nothing to do with it. Biggest scam in history.

^^ you can’t compare the Amish to other people. They are brave and work hard (they won’t accept social security payments). They don’t scurry around in fear of death or anything else and are confident in their beliefs.

I've had every vaccine they'd allow me to get.
Just a bad cold so far. And I am not a very young, healthy person - lots of underlying conditions.

I feel the vaccines protected me from the worst of it.

Feelings are important.

How do you know you're not asymptomatic carriers?????

Are they healthier in general? Fewer toxins, less smoking, less obesity, etc?

The problem with Covid is that it is still mutating into variants that are avoiding previous immunity, so herd immunity cannot happen. The good thing so far has been that the new variants are less virulent and/or previous immunity offers some protection against severe disease.

The fact remains though that an average of 1000 Americans per week are dying of Covid, and that number will increase as we go into the winter. And long Covid is a real thing.

You PP may be like my DH, 2 of his siblings and our oldest DC - so far immune from Covid. All of those people in my family have been living their lives just like you and have numerous stories of being somewhere where everyone else got Covid, but they didn't -- I believe something in their genetics keeps them from getting sick. You should be grateful instead dismissive of the vaccine, which has saved millions of lives.

It will exponentially increase - especially after the holidays. There is a "delayed" effect and people are thinking this year is mild.

Omg. Basically you believe the covid vax is a magical amulet then you make all the other sh*t up.

I actually do truly doubt the intelligence of people who vaccinate/boost their kids at this point, especially older boys. Unless the child is particularly at risk, giving a child annual covid shots seems like evidence of an anxiety disorder.

Not what I said. No anxiety disorder here. When i get sick, I get very sick (immunocompromised). So yes, I will continue to follow my doctor's recommendations, not the ramblings of someone on a message board. I also don't have unlimited time off as a teacher so getting sick is a big disruption to myself and my students.

It is interesting how people like you get so angry when you hear that others are doing what they can to protect themselves from illness. It seems sociopathic to me.

Thank you. It is so weird that people are downright hateful toward others making choices about their own health.

Like the pp who said they believe vaccines are a scam? If the shoe fits...

Getting sick sucks and is so disruptive. A cold, the flu, Covid.

Why are people so willing to be sick?
