@SW-User I agree with your sentiment. But from the best data available, getting a booster once a year might leave you unprotected for much of each year. The protection is thought to last a little more than six months. I'm calling that 8 months maximum, until we have better data. Once a year booster would mean you are in the unprotected danger zone 4 months a year. That's the way I interpret the best evidence currently available, anyway...

@curiosi I'm not going to change your mind. But for others reading this. Let's consider a worst-case scenario. Let's say 20 years from now, it's found that the various vaccines cause cancer, impotence and (ironically) severe birth defects. Or make up your own disastrous side-effect and we'll say for the sake of argument that the vaccines thought to be safe today turn out (in hindsight decades from now) to not be as safe as we thought they were.
If you die from Covid 19 in 2021...is it going to MATTER that 20 years from now certain people who survived are suffering wierd side-effects of vaccination?
People like to focus on the low death rate among un-vaccinated people who catch covid as proof that vaccination isn't needed, ignoring the fact that PERMANENT INJURY is frighteningly common...even if you do survive.
To me, the most logical course of action is to protect yourself from harm and possible death. To not do so because there is a chance that the vaccine might be harmful? That's really not logical. We have to survive to see how this all plays out. We have to SURVIVE.
Think of it this way. You find yourself standing in the middle of a narrow railway bridge with a train called "covid" approaching. You can't outrun the train. Below the bridge is a lake filled with vaccine. You can easily jump into the lake to avoid the train, but you aren't a strong swimmer. Your choices are do NOTHING and get killed or permanently disabled by the speeding train. Or jump in the lake and risk possible drowning. You might be able to swim to shore, or you might not. What do you do? I see so many people say they won't jump in the lake as they'd rather risk catching covid. WHAT??????????????????????

Very much in favour and have had them.
I noticed when I had my annual 'flu inoculation last year, the temperature and distancing etc. precautions and the arrangment of the whole thing were such that as well as very efficient, I wondered later if the Health-centre staff were using it as a practice-run for the forthoming pandemic vaccinations.

@FreestyleArt I get the feeling a lot of people would do the opposite of what the government tells them to do. Like if Biden says, "Whatever you do, do NOT JUMP OFF A CLIFF"...and the next day we have a lot of squishy dead bodies at the bottom of the cliff. It is folly (in the extreme) to wait for "government" to advise you on how you should or should not protect yourself. It's your body. If you have any doubt about vaccine, discuss it with your DOCTOR. Not doctor Fauci (although I guess if you could, that would be OK) but discuss it with your GP or your family doctor. Or discuss it with THIS GUY:

@LadyJ how come?
mikeylyksit · 41-45, M
@LadyJ That makes zero sense. Theoretically, you are SOMEWHAT protected. But if you were going to suffer any bad side-effects, you can't avoid them by not getting the second dose. So ??????????????????????????

Undecided. I'm waiting for it to unfold more while I can. 😬 Honestly, I wish I could get it from my GP with her knowledge of my medical history if that was possible...

@CrazyMusicLover Please don't wait long! Clearly, the vaccine is effective and the risk of side effects is MUCH lower than the chance of catching the virus and getting very sick from it. Even those who develop mild cases are sometimes left with long term medical problems.

@samueltyler2 I can't get any data on the effects of the vaccine on patients with Hashimoto's. I know it's a common disease so there must be many of them vaccinated but for some reasons wherever I was searching there were no available data.
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@CrazyMusicLover I don't know if you will find anything specific, but Hashimoto's is generally thought to be an auto-immune illness, so you are at high risk for problems if you contract the virus, so, almost without any further information, it probably is correct to say that the viral illness is far worse than the possible complications of the vaccine.
