Are you vaccinated?

Postby oldmansurfer » Sun May 29, 2022 5:08 pm

I just got my fourth covid shot. I decided to do Moderna all the way. How about you? Supposedly this shot makes it unlikely that I will ever test positive for covid. I am 68 so this is advised for people my age.
So what is worse.... dying or regretting it for the rest of my life? Obviously I chose not regretting it.

I’ve had three so far. Last was in February so I’m due again soon. Here it is mandatory to show that you have government registration of your proof of vaccine using a QR code app for entry to most major public and open to public spaces (malls, grocery stores, office buildings, etc).

Nope.

I don't have any issue with people taking the vaccines, and think older folk should do so. However, the level of coercion and general propaganda/corruption around the whole thing in the UK was absolutely disgusting, so I abstained for that reason.

I've also now had Covid, so I have my immunity that way. The vaccines are awful at preventing transmission so everyone will catch it anyway. The only question is whether you're 'at risk' enough to require the vaccine as a primer.

The real question is do you want to risk death or long haul syndrome because the only way to reduce your chances of that is to get vaccinated

My first two were AstraZeneca and the last was Pfizer. I have managed not to catch it in spite of working around hundreds of co workers and a endless parade of rotating hotel guests for the duration of the pandemic. Good times.

My wife and I are getting second boosters this week. We're in our 70's and don't want to worry about being with our toddler grandson who constantly visits with a runny nose. :roll:

Three times vaccinated. While this gives no garantuee (and there will be no garantuee with a fourth, fifth or sixth shot either), there is fundamental scientific evidence that you reduce your risk. Not happy with politics and communication either, but sometimes the most obvious choice is the right one. Especially after seeing what Long Covid can do to even young and healthy people .
