You’re just like Wiskey, you deal in black or white. As we’ve seen, not everyone gets hit as hard by the virus and the vaccine could help, Maybe Grandma won’t be as contagious with the vaccine or as long. It’s not so simple as yes or no.
Who's Getting the Fall COVID Vaccine?

Maybe? How about yes, yes she will be contagious.
This is black and white. Get it for yourself, but you getting it isn't magically helping others not get it no matter how much you wish it would.
My kid went to a clinic because she had a cough, not "ended up at the hospital".
You are talking out of your ass. The recommendations for children and covid were "don't worry about it".
i recall that at one point you were quite disappointed with the jnj shot and were looking to switch to mrna. what happened for you to want to switch back?
Being contagious isn’t always an exact thing, such as how long someone might be. The virus affects everyone differently and how contagious someone is can vary too.
The clinic is just a cheap emergency room. You felt the need to go to the clinic so you thought your kid was sick. You’re a fool for not taking things seriously when it comes to your kid. But that explains why you ended up in the clinic. I’m sure you’ll make plenty of stupid decisions based on your thought process.
Which is exactly why we didn’t need blanket mandates, restrictions and vaccinations.
Some of you people are just nuts. In another few months you’ll be claiming covid didn’t even exist and was all made up.
Considering how often the goalpoasts have shifted on its purpose, I'm not sure there is a defined point.
I always wanted Novavax. But at my age, I took what they had, which was J&J - and was glad to get it. Less glad when it turned out it had lower efficacy and higher risks.
I subsequently got mRNA versions. And, again, glad to get them. But some recent studies make them sound more problematic than expected. So I'd still rather have something else. The most troubling report has to do with finding spikes in muscle and fat cells, long after being vaccinated. Might be harmless, but shouldn't be happening.
The difference now is that I'm probably somewhat protected against severe illness. So I feel I can be a little pickier, despite my age. At the end of the day, though, I'll probably get the fall mRNA version, because that may be all that's on offer.
Bullshit. That was pre Delta. Stop spewing stuff out of context, you're good at it.
Sure I will get it if recommended by medical professionals. It is a little poke in the arm. Covid will be around, might as well minimize the impact of it when my household gets it.
Correct. I'll be foregoing the vaccine this time around. And no I don't want to get into a piss fest on here. There's some mixed data and I'm waiting to see how it shakes out. Good health to you my friend.
The messaging turned out to be pretty much awful, so I am a maybe leaning toward no. Efficacy and no spread were pushed so hard, with both turning out wrong. Covid also isn't raging like it did previously. Vaccines and immunity likely both relevent.
I've had covid twice and vaccines twice. Covid, vaccine (JJ), vaccine(mod),covid.
I was more sick from the vaccines both times.
One time I was presenting a weekly status to a VP level. Had to step away to vomit, came back presented the rest of my part and immediately had to go poop.
Hey, at least people aren't selfish low life disgusting assholes for making their own choice. We've come a long way.

No, the damage to public faith was due to all the lies about Covid in general, as well as the lies about vaccine efficacy and side effects.
A majority of that is fud finance. They did not know everything about Covid original as it was a new virus. They are not going to get everything correct, but for the majority it worked. Go look at the spread in communities that followed protocols vs those communities that didn't and the associated death rates. There are extremely minimal side effects for the vaccine, and there are only an extremely few number of individuals who it is contraindicated to take the covid vaccine, or vaccines in general. The far right amplified a few concerns, but for the most part they amplified a bunch of junk that just isn't true. For someone who claims to to be a voice of reason and moderate, that you believe the junk . . . well thats all you need to know. Because we all know Ivermectin is a valid way to treat and prevent Covid. Based on your post wouldn't be surprised you were a believer in that.
I think every Patriot should. I'll be getting it for sure. It will reduce, if not outright prevent, my chances of getting and spreading Covid.
I mean it was a novel virus, the biology of and the effect on the body's physiology were never seen before. A effective vaccine was quickly developed so yeah a reasonable person can understand how the understanding of the how the vaccine works could be fluid.
I absolutely will for two reasons.
I coach high school kids and my wife can not get the shot.

Nothing can be termed effective if its purpose isn't defined from the outset.
What is this round going to do? What is the purpose of this round of booster shots? What specifically is this targeting and what specifically will this prevent?
If any of those questions cannot be answered, we cannot determine its effectiveness.
Primarily to provide protection against serious illness among the elderly or those with comorbidities.
If you don't fall into those categories and aren't trying to guard family members at risk, you don't need the new jab.
Might want to get it anyway, because it will still lower your risk some, but not urgent.
At least that's my understanding.
Go look at the data from Israel and New South Wales Australia. We can play the statistics game all day long.
We knew what we wanted from the early vaccines. Fewer deaths. Fewer hospitalizations. Flatten the curve to keep our health care system and morgues from being overwhelmed.
The early vaccines were very good at all of those, even the less desirable versions like J&J and AZ.
The people bitching back then were simply wrong. It's very frustrating to me that things have changed so much that their previous complaints look more reasonable under today's circumstances. So now we get idiots claiming they were right then, when they were not just wrong then, but spreading dangerous lies that cost lives.
Cannot make a decision on this one, until I know what Fall colors it comes in.
Its "purpose" was to prime your immune system for when it actually gets exposed to Covid.
Hey, shouldn’t you be getting ready for the big pissing match with GDR today?
Got my 2 Moderna vaccinations in Feb and March of 2021.
My wife chose not to get vaccinated. We both got Covid in early September of 2021. I was slightly ill for 2 days. She died from Covid in the October of 2021.
Have gotten Moderna booster in November of 2021 and April of 2022. Got Pfizer bivalent booster in September of 2022 and May of 2023.
