“Residents, families and staff become confused about how many vaccinations are required to stay up to date, and many are reluctant to continually inject vaccine product into their bodies, particularly more than once per year,” she wrote.

So, it’s not that they aren’t available to them. They just don’t want to take it. It’s twice a year, not a hard calculus to make and if you refuse the vaccine don’t fucking cry when you’re on you’re death bed. Fuck these people.

Meanwhile their shitty voting habits are making it hard to get vaccines to the working poor. I say the more of them who are dead the better. One less vote against common sense.

I would if I hadn’t had COVID too recently to qualify. Was miserable. Do not recommend.

If you just had it, you get some immunity for awhile. Then get the vax as soon as allowed. That will help you ride out the later end of the winter surge, while others’ immunity is waning.

I guess I got lucky. Got Covid for the first time (as far as I know) last month. Was basically just a bit tired for four days with sniffles. Maybe I’ll wait until December to get this shot before the holidays begin.

Got Covid for the first time last October and ran a 103 degree fever for days and struggled to feel completely normal for almost two weeks. I was already planning to keep getting the shots prior to catching it but definitely keeping up with them now. I hope to never catch that one again.

For what it’s worth, the first time anecdotally seems to be worse a lot of the time.

The vaccines produce very specific antibodies which do help, but when you get a real infection your body is able to make all sorts of other antibodies as it’s not only based off the very specific vaccine output.

So the 2nd time you get it, you now got the various vaccine antibodies / knowledge, and the more smorgasbord of antibodies and knowledge from the actual virus.

Not to say it still can’t be bad, but there’s a little hope that it might not be as bad.

If you or someone you know are having trouble making reasonable decisions right now, take my advice… Get it. This variant is FUCKING miserable. The peak lasts longer than previous and then just fucking lingers and lingers into a persistent dry cough that lasts (for 5 weeks at this point).

Get vaccinated for yourself and the people around you
