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

Probably not my Trump-loving conspiracy theorist coworker who mentioned this to me and said “It’s scary”. Not to be confused with the other Trump-loving conspiracy theorist coworker who believes that there wasn’t a pandemic but several people that he knows got COVID multiple times each.

I would have questions, but I already know the answers would give me an apoplectic aneurysm. So I'm just going to let mysteries be mysteries.

I just get them every year like my flu shot.

We really ought to be doing twice a year with the current vaccines; you can if you're over 65.

Who will get them? I'd say the answer is anyone who doesn't feel the need to be sick as fuck for two weeks.

Also anyone with any health issues who lives anywhere with the anti-vaccine MAGA idiots probably should too, since if you don't take care of yourself they sure as fuck won't lift a finger either.

I am. Up to 8 at this point.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 months ago

Me. The minute I can. I have enough health issues as it is.

[–] [email protected] 86 points 2 months ago (2 children)

*Raises hand.

I sure as fuck am.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

Yeah, abso-fucking-lutely. I'll take two, pleaseandthankyou.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 months ago (6 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago (3 children)

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.
