I just got the COVID booster and Flu shot at the same time yesterday. Not taking any chances.
A real idiot is someone who is so desperate to bolster his shaky confidence in the vaccine, he insults those who don't make the same decision he makes.Those Moderna boosters were a smart way to go. Covid is potentially a killer and has to be taken seriously -- an attitude that some of the (ahem) Covidiots around here unfortunately lack. BTW We have a Tuxedo that is a dead ringer for yours. Great cats.
I think it makes them feel safer psychologically. But I am fine with being unvaccinated. Vaccinated people can still catch, transmit, be hospitalized with, and die from covid despite all the boosters they take so what's the point 3 years into this?A real idiot is someone who is so desperate to bolster his shaky confidence in the vaccine, he insults those who don't make the same decision he makes.
Results of a study recently came out of Ohio University in Cleveland that shows the more vaccines you've had, the more at risk you are of contracting COVID.I think it makes them feel safer psychologically.

And all cause death for anyone who has been fully vaccinated, so I hear. I still feel the no product liability was all the warning I needed. How does a person ignore this?Results of a study recently came out of Ohio University in Cleveland that shows the more vaccines you've had, the more at risk you are of contracting COVID.

The wife and I are of course fully vaccinated and boosted. A year ago we attended a Christmas party and contracted what I suspect was the Omicron variant, but couldn’t get tested for 2 weeks, after the symptoms (the head cold from Hell) were gone, so the test was negative. Last fall it recurred. Now we had test kits and were positive. In both cases hospitalization was not necessary. Good for us, but millions of others, around the world, have died from the disease. When those in this thread make claims that those deaths were not Covid related and vaccination is unnecessary, or even harmful, I believe you are endangering your elderly audience. Disagree? Of course. Which of us is correct? Who knows, but why take the risk?Since I'm not getting them, there are more available for you.
Depends on which "risk" you decide is worse. The risk of an illness that most people survive, or the risk of harm from a useless vaccine.The wife and I are of course fully vaccinated and boosted.

Actually, I can answer that...... How does a person ignore this?
Most may survive, but a lot don‘t . Current daily US deaths, 398.Depends on which "risk" you decide is worse. The risk of an illness that most people survive, or the risk of harm from a useless vaccine.
It would make "good common sense" to get vaccinated......IF it offered protection and didn't have risks. From friends & family who were vaccinated - including some who were very sick -, I can honestly say it offered no protection whatsoever.In the senior community (55+) where I live, pretty much everyone without medical restrictions has had two vaccine shots, plus three boosters. Most of us have also had a flu shot. Sometimes the flu and covid shots are combined.
Many of us, myself included, have had mild cases of covid, not even as bad as the average cold. We are all glad we got inoculated. Haven't heard of anyone with the flu yet this year And since the covid vaccine came out, I haven't heard of any of the local people being hospitalized, or much less dying, of covid. The third booster seems to be very effective. I think it's just good common sense to make use of the latest boosters as soon as they are available.
About half of the people still wear masks when mingling with others. I usually don't any more most of the time, but I do when I'm going into a crowded place. Yesterday, I did wear one in Costco.
Sunny, just wanted you to know that you and I are on the same page in regard to Covid and the importance of getting vaccinated and boosted — flu included. The only way to go.In the senior community (55+) where I live, pretty much everyone without medical restrictions has had two vaccine shots, plus three boosters. Most of us have also had a flu shot.

There are other venues though, @Murrmurr. I am beginning to believe vax and boosted folks must feel more secure not accepting the truth because it's everywhere these days.Actually, I can answer that...
When the explanation and results of a medical study are published, scientists from all over the world replicate that study exactly to see if they get the same results, and they publish their studies. That's called peer review. Until it is peer-reviewed, the original study is called a Print.
If the benefactor who funds peer-review studies doesn't like the results of a print-study, the peer review study won't happen. If the original study is never peer-reviewed, it will remain a print, and never accepted by mainstream science. The print could sit in the public domain forever, but the results will be ignored and eventually forgotten.
Two of the doctors I watch who post medical lectures on YouTube, posted a video lecture about this study, and within 2 days, TPTB at YouTube made them take those videos down. The only explanation; Community Violation. A third doctor I watch published a lecture about this study yesterday, being extremely careful to use certain words and repeat his disclaimer, but he still might have to take it down. So it's similar to how it happens in real life.
If you are interested in the truth, here it is:There are other venues though, @Murrmurr. I am beginning to believe vax and boosted folks must feel more secure not accepting the truth because it's everywhere these days.
CDC investigating possible link between PFIZER booster and strokes...I am trying to figure out if we need to get a second Covid booster. Got one booster a year ago.
Looking at CDC site, doesn't say anything about a second booster, but I hear people talking about a third booster.
The more I google, the more I get confused.
Do we NEED one? or is this on the principle of do we WANT to get one?
thanks
I had the Pfizer booster late last year and had a horrible reaction. I lost control of my right leg for a few hours and suffered from hallucinations for several days after the shot. Never Pfizer again for me.
