New round of covid boosters. Will you get yours?

I'm apparently high-risk due to heavy asthma & overweight but decided against any jabs as I believe Covid was only high-risk for elderly, obese & immune-compromised, and that the jabs didn't affect transmission. Injecting myself with a long-term untested new type of vaccine-technology didn't seem to be a sensible risk/benefit scenario, especially given that I've a history with weird unpleasant side-effect reactions to certain active-ingredients I've had medicated from time to time. I preferred to trust my immune-system to grant me anti-bodies at the infection level.

Turns out these considered assumptions were correct. The vast majority of unvaccinated non-risk individuals had relatively mild Covid, and now have natural immunity at least as effective as the 'immunity' granted from the jabs.

I'll leave out the politics since that discussion gets sideways pretty quickly, but you should brush up on your science, IMO.

A jab doesnt stop you getting it. Nor transmitting it.

They reduce the symptoms and they reduce the transmission.

A lot of people have trouble understanding math/s when it comes to issues like this, but it is also complicated by the fact that the math/s are on a large scale but people think in terms of n = me. Still, so many reject the vaccine similar to rejecting umbrellas because "I used one, but I still got wet. See? These don't work."

Early days of the whole nightmare, I could get it. Vax = No Covid.

But 3 years on?

I'd probably get one if offered as I've had felt absolutely fine after every single one. Pretty much every I know who felt crap after a vaccine (which is a a lot of people) , said they won't bother which is fair enough. I probably wouldn't if I felt crap after too

I’ve had 3 boosters and covid 3 times since my 3 boosters. Like WTAF. If it isn’t going to even work what’s the point. It’s all just a money spinner for bigpharma. I wasn’t a conspiracy theorist about it at all but I look back now and wonder. I never used to get ill, I’ve been pretty bad with it on all 3 occasions since the jab.

Why get boosters when we’ve all obs had it by now one way or another? We should scrap anything even closely linked to covid. Let’s get back to normal please.

Just dont trust any of them and it’s getting worse. Remember kids these are the dickheads that say cannabis and mushies should be illegal. Yet they make us get these jabs and pump us full of antidepressants and anxiety meds.

Both extremes!

full of antidepressants and anxiety meds.

Death-stats in the US from overdosing on prescribed such meds is breath-taking. A far bigger problem than Covid ever was. And unlike Covid it's not getting any better.

This is why we can't have nice things.

Knobheads cry about the big bad pharma but put petrol in their car every week and don't blink an eye.

I’ve had 4, still yet to get COVID but I’ve had 1-2 scares where I thought it might have been, proven negative with testing

The several have made me feel terrible for 24-36 hours. I’ll still take a booster next fall. If the vaccine does that too me, I’d hate to experience actually being infected.
