Are you planning to/did you get your covid boosters?

I am pro vaccines, but if you're not sure what you're sick with and the covid test came back negative I'd say it's not covid. Only your doctor can give you credible medical advice. It's also good to note that it's flu season and bugs are normal this time of year. My coworkers and I all have a bug, too. It's not covid for us, either. Tis the season.

No. What number booster are they on now? Every person I know that's had the vaccine and any number of boosters regrets it due to it either not protecting them from the real thing when they caught it or the side effects they're now experiencing from it. Not to mention how even the diehard liberal bodily autonomy proponents completely abandoned that in favor of vaccine now. Just goes to show how serious they were about protecting our rights to choose 🙄 As long as it fits in with the current narrative amirite?

I never took the initial vaccine, will not be taking any of it at all. It's a shame game designed to train us to comply with government mandates, not an attempt to protect the population.

Go ahead and call me a conspiracy theorist. But if the last few years of bs and 'new normal' haven't at least made you wonder then I must question your intelligence.

I am not trying to start a debate on here, this is just my opinion. I got the first two Covid shots when things were first happening, because I wanted to be able to travel so I complied. I’m not getting any boosters or anything else, I don’t get flu shots either. I’m okay with fighting things off naturally. I’m in Canada and I’m not okay that people were fired from their jobs for refusing the vaccine. No one should be forced to do anything with their body and the fact that it was so heavily enforced has left a bad taste in my mouth.

When I got the first COVID shot my period disappeared for three months. Other women I spoke to said their cycles were out of wack as well. But the media and the CDC all denied this could be a possible side effect. Then like a year later they admitted that it messed with women's periods.

They really do not care about women and I will never take their stupid shot again.

Nope, I never had any of the vaccines because I smelt bullshit from the get-go(dont get me started). I also first hand saw the vaccine fail to work many times in multiple ways. I saw vaccinated people both catch AND pass on Covid. The only argument for it left is that it lessens symptoms but thats highly convenient since its literally impossible to test the validity of that. I've had Covid multiple times, and each time it became more like the common cold. All that plus the fact we dont know the long-term effects etc etc? No vaccines or boosters for me.

I didn't take any of the covid vaccines. The whole thing seemed very shady and the ethics surrounding them (like forcing people to take them even though it doesn't stop transmission) were questionable at best. Besides I didn't need them as I'm a healthy person and therefore in 99.9% of cases covid is just like flu to me. And I didn't catch covid even once from what I've seen. I also did it kind of out of spite cause I was getting fed up with relatives that tried to guilt trip me into taking the blood clot juice. "Omg the experts on the news said that covid is developing into ebola you have to take the vax quickly or else we all die omg"

No, not this time.

I got all the vaccines and boosters during the pandemic because I was taking care of my father during that time and I didn't want to risk infecting him or getting very sick myself because there was nobody else who could have taken care of him. No vaccination would also have meant that I couldn't accompany him to doctor's appointments or the hospital. He has passed away since then (not from Covid) and I am a healthy, fit person with a decent immune system and nobody depending on me, so I'm not getting the shot (no normal flu shots either, but in my whole life I have also never had the flu).

I got Covid after he passed and it was two days of light fever and strong cold symptoms, followed by 5 days of no fever and a scratchy throat until my test came back negative. No idea how it would have been without the vaccination but among the vaccinated people I know there were all kinds of cases: never getting it, getting it but only having light symptoms (that was the majority) and getting it and being so sick they needed to be hospitalized. I have no idea how much of each case can be attributed to the vaccine and how much to having a decent immune system in general.

I'm not against vaccines and have all the standard ones against illnesses you really don't want (like tetanus) and I don't think anyone here seriously wants diphteria, polio or the smallpox back but I think not all vaccines make sense for all people and you have to look at the individual and their situation to weigh the risk of side effects of the vaccine against the risk of the illness it is supposed to protect you from.

A vaccine with no or harmless side effects that protects you against a widespread illness that means an almost certain, painful death or a lifelong disability if you contract it? Sign me up.

But it makes no sense to get the FSME vaccination if you are an office worker and never anywhere you would encounter ticks carrying it. It would make sense to get it if you are a woodworker in a tick-infested area.

If youre already sick, the vaccine isnt going to help. Youre actually supposed to wait a while after recovering before getting a booster (I forget, a few weeks or a few months).

If you do have covid right now, then once you recover youre going to have boosted immunity anyway, so the vaccine would be superfluous.

Get a pcr test. If thats negative, then think about a covid booster if you want.

No. I'm sick of this already.

It's not for me to tell anyone else what to do, since we're all different.

In my case, vaccination might have helped, and it's not causing problems. So I'm likely staying the course and keeping on getting vaccinated.

I got every shot that's been offered to me (total of 4, all MRNA, mix of Pfizer and Moderna), and have not been infected with COVID.

My friend never got vaccinated, she got COVID. That was back in mid-August this year. She said it felt like razor blades in her throat. I felt fine, but took a test myself, just in case, since she came over to my house and watched a movie with me 5 days before. Test came back negative for me.

It's almost the end of October now, she's still not feeling great, still has a cough, though at this point she's not contagious, as far as we know.

Protection from the vaccine is supposed to wane after six months, and the last one I got was the bivalent Moderna one on Oct 6, 2022.

So I don't know if the vaccine was the thing that kept me from getting infected in August. It shouldn't still be effective anymore after 10 months, right? Now it's been more than a whole year.

Probably would have gotten the new booster already if it was available to me. But it's not. Not sure when it will be.

How's your sense of smell? If you can still smell things, you're probably okay.

Nope. I did not and will not take any of the clot shots. In fact, they are recommending to take it off the market all together because of how harmful it is, vs the very small benefits that are really only for those who are elderly or immunocompromised.

Def not anti vax but the covid vax is sus as hell esp since its so rushed out. Me and many other people have permanent debilitating side effects, me personally my periods are still long and painful and I have a stomach disease.

All i got was the J&J shot too! My coworkers who got Moderna shots all have hives and huge welts all over their bodies and have to take a $10k allergy shot every month for the rest of their lives.

Don't take anymore!

I'm concerned with the lack of knowledge among the general population regarding this vaccine in particular, I hope this doesn't come off as pretentious but as someone with an educational background in biology and life siences I think it's important for people to know that covid is not necessarily new and the creation of this vaccine began many years ago. Personally I haven't had any side effects from the covid vaccine and I don't know anyone who has, I know many nurses and people who work in Healthcare and they all recommend for people to get vaccinated.

I'm very pro vaccine so I believe everyone should get vaccinated. I have an autoim disorder that caused my kidneys to fail, my immune system can be quite weak so of course I'll get any and every booster lol

We've been studying SARS since the early 2000's and mRNA vaccines for even longer, I just hope everyone is well informed before they decide whether or not they want to get vaccinated.

I got the first two vaccines, mostly because my mom had recently gone into cancer remission and I was paranoid about that. I will not be getting any more.

I got the covid booster every time I could and I never got covid.

I’m fanatical about annual vaccination and routine masking when I know I'm in contact with people who work in hospitals though so sorry for not being much help.

Yes, along with my flu shot. I have all 5 shots and I’m getting my sixth next week.

I work in a place that has lots of people coming in and out of the building, so I gotta do it. In addition, it’s a work requirement.

I'm thinking about the booster after reading about the antivaxxers in the replies

I got the most recent booster / new shot and felt like hell for the entire day after. I felt fevered, congested, SO tired, and had intense body aches and headaches. I just figure those symptoms would be worse if I actually got covid. I don't regret doing it, but it definitely sucked. I had the initial vaccine and (I think) two boosters before this and never had side effects before this most recent shot.
