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.

My secretary's brother bragged about his healthy immune system and then he died of Covid, whereas his wife and 85 year old mother in law (both vaccinated) also got Covid at the same time and did not die.

So maybe he was wrong about his immune system but you are not because you got your immune system tested with the immune system strength test and got an A+ grade, right? Or did God speak to you in a dream and tell you your immune system is strong? Like, I'm wondering how you can say this with such confidence with and what that is based on.

I only had the first 2 shots. No thanks.

What variant are they targeting for the fall?

I'm 45 but I want the RSV vaccine. Very much.

I’m 42 you dolt. Setting aside your dumb impossible hypothetical about testing, I’ve been around a lot of sick people for extended periods of time in the last 1.5 years since I’ve had Covid and I’ve been fine. This includes my wife who sleeps right next to me. I’ve never been healthier. That about all the reassurance I need. I also know exactly ZERO people in my peer group of many thousands who had any serious complications from Covid-vaccinated or not.

Im going to go out on a limb and take the average likelihood that your secretary’s brother was at least 55 and was probably an idiot and not very healthy. That’s normal for the US.

I’ll take my chances without further intervention. You know the crazy old school thought that you consider the benefit of an intervention compare to any risks. Crazy that thought. You might do some critical thinking once in awhile. It’ll do you some good.

It is puzzling when people say they got the vaccine and boosters thru Dec 2021 and never hit COVID, ergo the vaccine doesn't work. It's not possible that you haven't had covid because the vaccine DOES work?

[Anonymous]

I’ll take a booster any time they’ll give me one. No hesitation whatsoever.

+1, 54F. I'll take another one.

+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.

Tell me how you got there though. Do you hate shots? Was it the side effects? It took me 5 -10 min to stop by and get the shots. If you are not against vaccine, I don't understand what changed your attitude towards it.

Because it won’t change the outcome. If I get it I’ll get sick and then get better. With or without the vaccine.

That’s a remarkably uninformed view. I have a friend who just got COVID for the second time. She is monumentally sicker than she was the first time.

Repeat COVID infections are strongly associated with higher risk of bad outcomes, not just from COVID itself but from post-COVID complications that are clearly linked. Anything I can do to avoid that, I’m doing.

Relative got vaxxed and boosted.
Caught the rona.
Got a little sick.
Got dizzy, fell, broke their back.
Got emergency back surgery.
Rona got worse.
Pneumonia.
Died.

Who knows.

I heard that COVID was just like the flu.

So why would someone get an annual flu shot but not an annual covid shot?

[Anonymous]

I will get the booster just like I get the flu shot every year. I trust the science.

[Anonymous]

Meh, never got the annual flu shots back in the day. No one ever asked about it either. Imagine that.

A group of 30s/40s in my office were talking about getting it. I just kept working and alternating between , and

Until feds come clean on lab leak, and big pharma comes clean that the vaccines were not needed and hazardous for those under 50, I'll never trust them again.

+1. I’ve never done flu shots. I’ve never had the flu. I had 1 Covid shot. I have not had Covid that I know of.
