Not even trying to be an ahole. I drove an hour and a half to get my shots because it was the first available day I could get them so I am not an axi-vacver .Got my booster the day after Thanksgiving. According to my workplace I am no longer considered vaccinated because my 3rd shot was more than 6 months ago. WTF?
 
By your workplaces definition I’m not “vaccinated”. I’ve not gotten a second booster. My first booster was back in October or November. My workplace has only been concerned with folks getting the initial shots. I haven’t decided if I want another booster or not.

Nope. There was a guy from our small rural area who had been to wuhan a little before we knew what kung flu was. Looking back, I am pretty sure I had it before we knew what it was. It wasn't any worse than other flus I have had. Not going to get the jab unless someone knocks me over the head and jabs me while I'm unconscious.

Twice...never again. Too many issues after shot and household is now in quarantine with virus. Have had flu with worse symptons.
 
Our family is better protected as well. One of my sisters, not so much.
Out of the 23 members of my immediate and extended (nieces and nephews) family, all are vaxxed and boosted except for a 3 year old granddaughter and 3 year old great nephew. Of the 23, the only people who still got Covid were our son, his wife, and our granddaughter. Their symptoms were very mild and they were better within a week or less. Myself, I haven't had even a hint of a cold since sometime in 2019. I attribute much of that to upping my hand washing game, using hand sanitizer when I can't wash, and limiting my interaction with others, which has actually been an added bonus that I plan on continuing regardless of any pandemic.

These last 2.5 years have been wonderful for the neurotic, introverts, and shut-ins. 😂

I never, and I mean never, wore a mask, wasn’t vaccinated, went on a couple vacations…nothing. Last September, we were basically threatened by our job by the manager of our division (a company in Kentucky), so I did it. Almost immediately I felt uneasy and didn’t feel well. The week later, I caught COVID and it put me in the hospital (I had pneumonia)

I was in for 10 days and came home. My primary doctor told me, under no circumstances, if you are even thinking about another vaccine, dont do it until after Christmas because it will seriously screw with your immune system. The COVID thing screwed my legs up…had to go to rehad to get leg strength back because I couldn’t life my legs to go up stairs, so I was off work. No crap…that manager texted me a couple of times with the message 1) how are you and 2) when are you getting another vaccine. I was so f’ing pissed since I even told him what my doctor said (they said they wouldn’t allow me to return to work without a second vaccine).

I only did it because my kids are on my insurance, but I was pissed. Got it right before the new year and right before I was coming back to work, he called myself and a few others that they were dropping our positions in our department. I lucked out and transferred to a security position, which was a great move in hindsight.

Got to the new department and speaking with a girl. She told me half of them in our department aren’t even vaccinated and no one put a mandate on them. To say I was livid was an understatement. The way it sounded, it was our previous manager’s mandate.

To this day, that vaccine screwed with my immune system, weakening it, causing me to get Covid. To this day, I’m seething at the whole situation. I don’t think I’ll ever get over how mad I am.
 
Biden test positive again…back to isolation. Maybe they are trying to keep him out of the public eye for other reasons.

Just wondering, does covid give you diarrhea? If so, they may have to hire extra help to keep his butt wiped.
 
Vaxxed to the max.
Have not gotten it………. Yet.
Haven given into the realization that I’m probably gonna get it……. Just know too many people who have been just as, or more, careful than I, who have gotten it.

Thus, am vaxxed to max, living healthy and will stay that way.

Not too be a smartass, but we are ALL vaccinated (99.9%). MMR, polio, all that. Got to it with no yelling or spitting too!!

I got the first two shots when they first came out. Then got COVID twice within 6 months.

Then realized the immunity doesn’t last long enough and the thing keeps mutating. So haven’t gotten a booster. Omicron was basically gone by the time omicron vaccine was even released.

Just living with trying to avoid it. Same as I do with flu, etc.

good luck and good health guys.

Go Big Blue!!!

But your not trying
 
Received the initial two shots and stopped there. Had no side effects and haven't had covid (yet). I'm in the camp that whatever you want to do is cool with me. Mask up in certain places? Cool. Continue to get boosted along with the flu shot? Cool. Don't want to do either? Again, cool.
