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

    I got covid before I was allowed to get the first vaccines and I’m still pissed about that since I drove by the closest vaccination spot every day for work and it was almost always empty. I lived in a very red area so it was very much a case of “doors are open but nobody’s lining up” but I was still not part of o e of the groups they allowed to get one yet.

    So yeah, I will be continuing to keep up on it, because that was the worst 2 months of my adult life, and I am absolutely certain I got some of the cognitive side effects of covid.

    What a weird question to ask, NYT

      It’s an article about the stats of vaccination rates, and a lot of structural explanations for why those rates have dropped (mostly loss of funding for covering the uninsured or paying for getting the vaccines to nursing homes or the disabled). It’s an important discussion.

        If we can’t have universal healthcare I would at least like the goverment to cover all vaccines folks are eligible for. The cost to benefit ratio should just make it a no brainer.

      I did that a couple of years ago and got sicker than I got when I actually had COVID. I staggered them by two weeks last year and felt fine. I’m going to do that from now on.

        It didn’t affect me when i did it. Got both, one in each arm. My covid arm was a bit sore and tight around the injection site, and the flu arm was fine. I didn’t feel any adverse effects.

        My colleague did the same but felt rough as arseholes for a week or so.

        It varied across the office, but i would say that only maybe 30% of us felt anything close to being sick at all. The estates department next door were all off for days after it.

        So it’s different for everyone.

        (For context, i work in a hospital, and they go around offering these vaccines every year)

    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 :(

        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.

      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.
