Yes, don't want to risk ending up on a ventilator
No, Covid is no longer an issue unless you are old or sick
I'll wait and see if there is a big Covid wave this winter

Fellas let’s be honest
If you get the shot you’re a pussy
Nicky Pipes say: Just say no the the Vax
The important thing to realize is that 2020-21 COVID (original, Delta) was VERY different than 2022-23 COVID (Omicron).
Prior to 2022, COVID was killing middle-aged people (I personally knew several), and permanently damaging many others.
After Omicron took over in early 2022, that stopped. The danger to middle-aged people fell to virtually zero, and even semi-elderly people were in much less danger than before.
I always saw the vaccine as a math equation. The vaccine had its risks, and anyone who denied that wasn't being honest.
I saw the COVID risk to me -- as a 49-year-old with high blood pressure -- to be much greater than the vaccine risk. Was there a chance the vaccine would be much more harmful to you than COVID would have been? Yes, but if you were middle-aged in 2020-21, it was far more likely that COVID would harm you than the vaccine.
I do not regret the COVID shots I took in 2021 -- the two initial ones in the spring, and the booster in October, 3 weeks before my visit to WSOP.
I do regret the one I took in 2022, as I knew Omicron was not really a danger to me, and I took the vaccine anyway, hoping it would hold COVID away from me during the '22 WSOP. I got COVID anyway, so the one reason I took the vaccine was out the window. It's possible my mild case was due to just having had the vaccine, but it's also possible my high Vitamin D intake at the time was more responsible for that.
In any case, I'm done with the COVID vaccine forever, except if a fluke occurs and COVID somehow transforms back to the more dangerous version we saw in 2020-21. This is not expected to happen, as viruses rarely mutate to being more dangerous after they've already mutated to become less dangerous. In general, viruses mutate to become milder so their hosts can more easily transmit them. You can't transmit if you're dead, and you will not transmit to many people if you are lying in bed all day. Viruses do their best when people are healthy enough to walk around transmitting them in public.
For the past four weeks I've been giving vaccinations at a hospital in Northern California. Flu shots are manditory for employees and COVID shots are available but optional. Of the 1000+ employees who have come in so far, about 2/3d's have opted to get the COVID shot as well as the mandated flu shot.
These are highly educated and skilled people who are aware of what's going on in the world. As of 10/26/22 rates of reported COVID infection are steadily rising in NOCAL. Beginning November 1st several counties are restarting masking requirements for indoor activities.
Here are a few interesting facts:
The vast majority of employees I've seen are under 60. (If you are over 60 you get a high dose shot.)
About half who get the COVID shot get it on the same day as the flu shot. The other half want to wait at least a day between shots.
Most who get them both at once want them in the same arm. Some want one in each.
only a very few seem to resent that they are required to get a flu shot to work there.
This hospital is in one of the most affluent and expensive areas in NOCAL. (I couldn't afford to live there!) I don't know if that means anything.
It's been an interesting experience!
At the height of the scamdemic when the streets were abandoned and the entire world was on lockdown, I was the one rolling with NO MASK (unless mandated by law)
NEVER VACCINATED
NEVER ‘BOOSTED’
but most importantly NEVER GOT COVID
I like being smart
also important to note that when I was still shipping, I had to take an incredibly thorough physical annually and had a vaccine ‘yellow card’ which was necessary for any overseas travel
I gladly accepted my shots for yellow fever, typhoid etc etc there are a bunch of others
why ?
because they were PROVEN through years and years of peer studies and didn’t need a massive radio/television/billboard/merchandising advertising blitz to sell their effectiveness
It amazes me how the entire global population was so easily duped by fear tactics and mob mentality paranoia and happily wore that stupid fucking mask (and still do lol) even after the CDC came right out and stated they were/are useless
Once again my instincts were SPOT ON and I just watched all the LEMMINGS like Bart Hanson and Ike Haxton and the rest of the gullible dumbasses buy into the big lie without even putting up a fight
the very worst part of the scamdemic were the failed policies imposed on the masses which were derived from fudged data
the 24 hour ‘death ticker’ on CNN that mysteriously disappeared right after the election
the cancelling or de-platforming those that proposed alternative treatment such as Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine, or natural immunity
Sometimes I just sit back slack jawed at just how dumb people really are, and how effortlessly the vast majority of the American population were duped
not to mention how easily most people just gave away our civil liberties with very little (if any) resistance
I can go on for DAYS about this lab engineered ‘virus’ that crippled the global economy and did more damage to this country than we can even imagine
Yes the notion of danger related to an exceptionally expedited medical intervention with no possible understanding of the long term comprehensive implications delivered rapidly to the majority of the population of the entire world IFR rate of what again? average age of death?
"I also had zero side effects from shot and boosters, so I wouldn’t hesitate"
Nice sample size faggot

When the thread asks will YOU get one, I am the sample size you fucking moron. Go post your New Zealand Reddit copy and paste bullshit on some conspiracy site with people who don’t understand basic math.Yes the notion of danger related to an exceptionally expedited medical intervention with no possible understanding of the long term comprehensive implications delivered rapidly to the majority of the population of the entire world IFR rate of what again? average age of death?

I was saying the exact same thing since fucking DAY ONE

Given that I work with tons of medical professionals (many of which in research) and many who are much more intelligent than me, almost certainly will be getting one as no one credible is against it. Lots of evidence Covid causes long term damage. Daughter likely won’t get Covid vax but will get her flu vaccine. I wouldn’t lose any sleep if she did get it though, it’s amazing how many people don’t understand basic odds and probabilities.
Like literally the one guy on my Facebook feed going off about vaccines is literally one of my dumbest friends, barely completed highschool, and went out west to try and find employment to live as a single bum for the last 20 years. Basically guy is angry at the world as he is nearly 40, has no home, no family, no savings, and wants someone to rage at for his failure in life. Rest of people I know (including pro vax)don’t even talk about vaccines much because it’s such a non issue.
FTR it's been nearly 2 years since I was last vaxxed and also always been against lockdowns given damage they do.

Actually agree with this. If you had previous bad experience with boosters makes sense to skip.

I read that getting flu bad and Rona vax at the same time is a terrible idea, ups your stroke risk in older adults, not sure where older starts….so Bart is probably ok
How is this a hangable post, guy is merely giving his experiences in the field, it was an interesting read. You are a pretty angry guy. Might want to instagram Dwight Howard and see if he is open to working off some of that hostility for you.

Bilbodoggins: Thanks. Maybe he thought I was calling him stupid?
You spelled the word mandatory with an i
I gave you the noose for the part in bold

If have and run rolled in the last six weeks you should hit a vet at very lest within a week.
