I'll be honest, this is the first one my family hasn't gotten. And the reason is simple. Every one of these vaccinations have made me (and some of the other family members) really sick for about 24-48 hours. I seem to get it the worst. I can't take a day or two off work every time I"m vaccinated. (I don't get that way with flu shot, fwiw. But these COVID vaccinations really cause me grief).[/quote]

Get it on a Friday. Find a 3-day weekend (there have been a few since the new shot came out, and there's one coming up soon).

I get crappy vax reactions, too. But I still get my shot. If the vax is that rough, how awful is the disease without it gonna be?[/quote]

DP, but for me, every shot except for the first one has been far worse than my two cases of COVID. It's pretty hard to justify getting it with that track record.[/quote]

People continue to have this rationalisation that if the shot is this bad, imagine if they had COVID and that just isn't statistically true for most people. Anecdotal sure, but I know people unvaccinated who had no idea they were infected and people vaccinated out the wazoo who were on death's door and lots in-between on both sides of the vaccination status. I guess it's one of those things people tell themselves to convince themselves they should continue to get vaccinated? I don't know. Its impossible to prove or disapprove because every individual is different and you can't prove a what-if scenario in this case but its just a weird argument that isn't really routed in anything other than someone's belief or feelings.[/quote]

I"m the "I'll be honest poster . . . " i have no problem getting a vaccination, no problems with vaccinations in general, and my family gets all the recommended ones. But we are super busy right now and we just can't be sidelined for 1-2 days. [/quote]

So if you get sidelined with covid for 5 days of isolation and 5 days of masking you just... won't, right? Because you're so busy? And then you and yours will pass it all around, and everyone else will just go to work/school sick because you're all just so busy? Too busy to test?

👏No👏One👏Is👏Doing👏This👏Any👏More👏

Except maybe you. [/quote]

You wish, because it would justify your lazy-ass approach to not giving a fsck about anyone/anything but your stupid self, but plenty of people can read and follow simple instructions, and also care about others. You're not alone in your clownass approach to life, but you're far from the majority, dipshit. [/quote]

Actually, this ignorant type is the majority. Most smarter people are getting the vaccines, much like the yearly flu vaccine, and masking in crowded places or when there is a surge. The people I know who want to pretend everything is "normal"...well, [b]they are getting Covid right about now[/b]..[/quote]

Okay and … ?

Has the world stopped turning? Are they dropping dead left and right?

Have you considered that some of us don’t think it’s some huge deal to catch COVID? And I guarantee the people living life as normal are event testing so they probably don’t even know they have it if they do.

[/quote]

So, if you don't care that you get covid, why bully others into the vaccine?[/quote]

DP, I don't care if you get the vaccine. That's your choice. But don't expect others to change their behavior for you to make up for that choice. [/quote]

How would my getting the vaccine help me?   It made me sick for months.   It is not stopping transmission so regardless of if I take the shot, I’ll still get Covid from you.   Stop hiding behind the vaccine.  [/quote]

You got Novavax and got sick for months? Has it even been available for months?[/quote]

My facility doesn't offer Novavax, and they are recommending I not take it outside their facility which has an ER attached in case I have another reaction.  Interesting you know more than they do.  How is the Novavax better?  How is it healthy to keep injecting this stuff in you?

If you'd simply be more cautious and not spread it, it would put the rest of us at less risk.  See how that works.  [/quote]

It doesn't matter how cautious anyone is when about 50% of infections are asymptomatic. [b]If you want to be part of society, you're going to get covid. [/b] All you have control over is whether you're going to be vaccinated before you do.[/quote]

because it's 'just a cold' to some lucky bastards, and they make the rules now. Nobody can force common sense or common decency. This is just how it is.[/quote]

Again, 50% of infections or more are asymptomatic. These people would have no way to know they're infected and possibly contagious.[/quote]

They make these things called "tests". If people used them before going into crowded public spaces (concerts, planes, god forbid schools after holiday breaks when they'd traveled), and masked, the numbers would be lower and conditions would be safer. But that would require care. Nobody cares.

The thing about not caring about others is that nobody ends up caring about you either. Why go down that road at all?[/quote]

The Covid nutters on X insist that the tests aren’t accurate anyway. If you test negative, they don’t believe you. In their minds, everyone has Covid all the time, no matter what, and every death is because of Covid. No other explanation for anything. Even road rage—it’s apparently from Covid-induced brain damage. [/quote]
