I’ve had all the shots and have not had Covid.

Covid has a cardiac component which puts me at elevated risk, if course I’ll get this shot too. ASAP!

I got it about five or six months after getting the first round of boosters after traveling for work. I was fucking exhausted for four or five days and couldn’t start awake for more than a few hours. Still planning on getting this round because it would be nuts not to.

There’s a fair bit of masking or luck involved in that at this point. The current crop of COVID vaccines don’t prevent disease for more than a few months.

Masking is incredibly easy, and not a problem at all to anyone who’s not a snowflake, or afraid of what others think.

I still do so 99% of the time I’m indoors in public, and I’m usually the only one. I used to have an issue when cloth masks were still a thing because inhaling would pull it against my face and trigger claustrophobic reactions. But ever since the pre-formed duckbill N95s became widely available it’s a non-issue. I even use them for mowing the lawn to stave off allergies. If a fat old man can breathe just fine doing yard work in an N95, the snowflakes bitching about paper surgical masks restricting their oxygen are full of shit.

I just avoid most people. But with two young kids, yes, we are lucky. Not a single case of covid in our household.

Probably doesn’t hurt that we are all vaccinated, remind our kids to wash every time they come inside from playing, do most play with others outside (playground, bike ridesz etc), and I work from home about 95% of the time.

I’m ungodly fucking pissed that I took all the shots/precautions and I got it twice :(

For what it’s worth, you most likely had much more mild symptoms for a much shorter duration because you were vaccinated! But I still apologize, getting sick sucks.

The vaccine doesn’t stop you from getting COVID, never has.
