Nope.
Not unless you had Covid within the past 6 months. Immunity to newer variants fades, just like it does for the vaccines.
Which is unsurprising, considering the same thing happens with influenza. And Covid has now been demonstrated to mutate >4x the rate some influenza strains do.
I am talking about those with intact immune systems and without chronic illnesses. Those that are healthy and have intact immune systems, that have had COVID, do not currently need to get vaccinated in my opinion. There is no evidence that supports that if the goal is to not get hospitalized.
The reason to get your flu shot is because it is such a rough virus when you get it. And tha vaccination data is better. COVID now gets you a sore throat and a cough in most all instances.
Because I am arguing this with
you, I feel that I need to state again, I am talking about healthy people with intact immune systems less than 70 years old or so. Let's keep the goal posts where I have put them this time.
Oh and spare me the 'long COVID' examples if you don't mind.
So bottom line, you're suggesting healthy people get vaccinated every 6 months? Thats a joke. I'll pass and I can't not recommend that, for the people I have carved out, for this post.
Serious question, Is there anyone you wouldn't suggest getting vaccinated? I would love to know because it seems like you're all in on the vaccine. As you know, I have a more pragmatic recommendation....
