I avoided getting vaxxed until Feb, when I got the Pfizer shot to prove to someone that I loved them.

Had a very strange reaction. Not pleasant.

The first time was a day after the shot.

I got a small feeling at the back of my neck like the chills which would then spread over the next 15 seconds to all over my body. I'd shiver like crazy for about half a minute, then it would fade away over the next minute.

It still happens occasionally.

Not getting guilted into a "booster".

Did Spike love you after you did? I hope so. That dude has it bad for you, keep him in your good graces if you can. He doesn’t get much support here.

as far as the shots, I’m 66, had two Moderna shots, no booster. My wife, who is 73, has had two Moderna and a booster.

both of us are retired, and neither of us has had covid. I never get the flu shot. She always does.

but we took reasonable precautions, and we finally took off our masks last week.

Somehow, covid decided it wasn't worth going after me.

All my exes and kids have been vaxxed and all have contracted mild cases of it.

Well, very little side effects so far from Booster shot yesterday.

No fever.

Just some overall body ache soreness and the usual needle injection site mild discomfort.

When can I get my 5th vax or 2nd Pfizer Booster?

I think Pfizer is putting some of the blue pill ingredients into this Booster since I have had a raging hard on since last night.

I mean you can hang an Iranian flag on this shaft.

I've been wanking uh working at home the past couple months, but yeah I'll get boosted before I go back to the office.  I mean its due dilligence.  However, I don't see the vax as the be all and end all some do.  Your overall risks seem to be blood type, age, weight, pre-existing conditions, and did you have it before.  Frankly, get the vax but realize its probably not gonna do too much good.

You're taking an experimental therapy with unknown long-term effects because you think it's "probably not gonna do too much good?"

I wish you valued yourself more.

Suppose I told you it wasn't even experimental.  IMVHO, the active ingredients are sugar and water.  That's right, its a fucking placebo.  The side effects are psychosomatic, the hives, the chills, and what not are there because you heard or read about them and so your mind literally invents them.  The vaccine itself is sugar water and only exists to make the pharmas lots of money and to stop societal chaos so people would feel safe going back to work, school, vacation, restaurants etc.

The virus? Yeah, its real and people are still getting sick and dying.  The factors of getting it or getting it bad? BMI, weight, overall health, genetics, blood type.  

Where'd the virus come from? Wet Market, cave, or lab.  What's sick is we are creating variants in Boston.  All it takes is one fuckup and we have Wuhan Flu all over again.

I sincerely hope you're right about that. The majority of my friends are vaccinated (although curiously, not 'boosted' -- not sure *why* if this thing is so 'safe & effective.) And several of my extended family members are vaxxed as well, although the majority of my extended family is not. (outliers!) 

I certainly hope most people got placebos as you're saying. (That isn't a claim I've seen much! Do you have a basis for it?)

In any case, there's certainly a percentage of the population that's having a bad reaction to it. And obviously we don't need that happening to a majority of people in this country.

Just a personal theory based on anecdotal evidence

You know, pneumonia kills about 5,000 Americans every year.

There is a vaccine.

How many here get it?

Anyone?

I got them. But pretty much only because the doc asked me if I wanted them, and since it was free , what  the hell.

I asked my doctor's office today about the shingles vax and I might as well add pneumonia to that.

Same reason with me. Vaccinated because I believe their original vaccines did what they were supposed to do. I got one booster and they had no effect on getting Covid again, as far as how sick I got from it so I’m not getting any more boosters.  no mention, haven’t had Covid, most of us feel like we’ve got a good boost of antibodies. Anyone that’s healthy probably doesn’t need to keep getting boosters. Anybody that’s not that is probably better off getting them and hoping for the best
