[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My post is above.   [b]Think of us people on cancer drugs that lower our immunity![/b]  If the fever is over 100.5 we’re supposed to call the doctor and it can mean ending up in the hospital in an isolation room.  I had 103 fever with Covid and my lungs hurt so bad with the coughing.  I didn’t call because at that point I didn’t think they could do anything.  It would be more preventative than anything.

Then you by all means should be getting every booster.  My kids not getting one has absolutely no impact on you. Sure it might lessen their symptoms (which were a minor cold btw) if they get it.

How is it 2024 and people still don't know this?  [/quote]

Actually, herd immunity is a vital part of public health. It's very sad that we've had such a breakdown in our cultural sense of responsibility to one another. Polio is actually a very mild illness for most people (and, like covid, actually worse for adults than children), but we decided that the risk of potentially deadly and debilitating illness for a few is worth vaccinating everyone. What has happened to our sense of obligation to the public good?[/quote]

I completely agree with herd immunity. We get all of our vaccines and stay up to date. This particular vaccine, however, is marginally effective for such a short period of time that I don’t feel like we’re contributing anything to the health of the herd by getting it. Besides, we haven’t gotten covid since May 2021 and we do test on occasion.[/quote]
