43, elementary teacher, and I still have yet to catch covid once from the germy children (or elsewhere). Last shot (booster) was in December 2021.

For highly vulnerable people? Fine, go get it. [b]Decently healthy people? Nope.[/b] [/quote]

Why?[/quote]

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. [/quote]

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

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.

[b]My immune system is the strongest it’s been in my adult life.[/b] 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. [/quote]

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.[/quote]

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. [/quote]

Tell that to virus.[/quote]

[b]Do you even have any sense of the serious consequence risk of Covid for somebody below the age of 65 with normal/low blood pressure, better than acceptable blood lab reports, normal BMI, exceeding 150 minutes of elevated heart rate exercise per week, healthy diet, etc..? Rounded to a fraction of a whole number, it is still zero.[/b]

So, I won’t be having a “discussion with virus.”

The default to having more drugs is the polar opposite of normal. These vaccines are just that-drugs. I’ll take my chances on my own. [/quote]

Plenty of dead people like that. [/quote]

So the quote remains available: “Do you even have any sense of the serious consequence risk of Covid for somebody below the age of 65 with normal/low blood pressure, better than acceptable blood lab reports, normal BMI, exceeding 150 minutes of elevated heart rate exercise per week, healthy diet, etc..? Rounded to a fraction of a whole number, it is still zero.“

Do you have some evidence to back this up? The answer will be no. Maybe by plenty you mean some absurdly low number, maybe like 0.000000001% of infections or something silly like that. I’m more at risk riding a bike than I am at risk of dying of Covid by orders of magnitude. [/quote]

Bud, i don't give rat's a$$ what you do. Your illness and even death is not worth a quarter to me. You talk a lot btw.  [/quote]

Then why did you respond?

The risk profile is directly germane to the question of whether people will continue to get boosters. Your dismissive attitude speaks volumes. And, you are making shit up about “plenty” of healthy people below 65 dying or having any significant complications, especially since omicron appeared. It’s just not true - boosted or not.

A normal person considering any medical intervention actually considers whether the juice is worth the squeeze. Crazy that thought.

Or maybe you can live in some weird deep web fueled alternative universe where Covid is some outsized risk. [/quote]

In the District of Columbia, 30% of people who died of Covid were under 70%.

Well this is from July 2020, so we have that. [/quote]

We have what?[/quote]
