Covid Vaccine. Your plans?

[BrightonCorgi]

As soon as Paxlovid is available world wide, the mandate for a vaccine becomes less necessary than ever.

They'll just make the drug half as effective... unless combined with the vaccine!

First two doses were Pfizer. Six months later, I took the Moderna booster. Nothing but a little local soreness for 2 or 3 days. 

I still wear a mask when out

We had to cancel Thanksgiving at our house.  Figures since I bought a larger turkey than normal...

Two of our guests both got Covid (our only guests).  They work in a 3 person office with the 3rd also getting Covid.  All have been fully vaccinated and the third has their 3rd booster shot. 

Expect to get 4th booster shot soon if you are not already on your 3rd.  3rd shot did nothing.

Haven't been vaxxed. Haven't had the virus. Life is good.

Vaccine mandates are in the US appeals courts right now. My prediction is they will be killed, as Brandon was not elected to be a ruler and king.

It should have stopped after targeting the concerned age groups and low immunity people. Why a healthy 30 y.o is forced to get a jab is beyond me. Never been a big conspiracy theory guy but ...

I'll take my chances with my immune system which has a 99% chance of beating it.

I have a healthy 15 y.o. daughter and would no doubt home school her if she were to be forced to take the jab or not be allowed in school. But we live in South Carolina ( a totalitarian free state)!

Living with a father like you will make her learn much more than being in school anyway. She can learn so much more being at home and researching about the differents subjects. Don't submit to the agenda and wait. In 3 years she'll be able to get in college vaxx free. Even if college is off the chart by then, then college tuition money you saved for her over the years can enable her to make a living.

nooooo kidding. wow.

the thing that convinced me to get the vaccine was the story about Marco Rossi, a 1st round draft pick in the NHL that got covid. 19 years old, workout nut, in the 99the percentile of healthy people, and almost died from myocarditis from a "mild" case of covid.

I see it this way, if you're required to get vaxxed before you are allowed to travel or enter a country, but people refuse to get vaxxed, all it means is it will be less crowded the next time I go on vacation.

Or you could take some of your amassed fortune, buy a private island complete with a lavish beach house and a helipad for your private copter and not worry about nor see another person until desired. LOL

66 yrs old 

Had all 3 pokes so far.  Not a single negative thing to say or feeling to talk about it.  Never had a flu shot in my life but this is different, IMO.

I still can't believe the idiots out there spewing crap about chips in the vax and the government being able to watch and track you because you now took a jab in the arm. 😵

If you have a cell phone, you are on ANY social media or forum platforms (like this one) you are already being watched and tracked.  Everyday you go for a ride in your car, your picture is taken several times in just a short ride.  People are so paranoid and freaked out about this crap all I can do is laugh. 🤣

My feeling is if you don't want the vax...that should be 100% up to you and no one should be forced to take it for any reason.  But if that's the case....stay home, don't travel, stay out of my grocery stores and restaurants that I eat at until you're done being paranoid about "the government"

You should be more scared of your wife or your girlfriend!

There a few islands off the coast of Australia for sale. Not an unrealistic idea.

I’m a recent de masker. Wondering around the grocery I don’t need to talk to you all day. Quick intersections are cool. If I get rona it will be from someone I know

Honest question about boosters...

I'm a 51 yr old male, healthy (no underlying health conditions outside of liking beer & grilled animal protein), got J&J shot end of March '21. Considering a booster, should I get another J&J or Pfizer? Or, not do anything for the near term?

Feel great now, but don't need a possible problem down the road.

Thanks!

You're asking that question on a cigar forum?  You should ask that one of your own doctor, no matter what credentials may be presented here.

100% agree, and will definitely consult my chosen medical professional before making a decision. Just didn't know if somebody here had been (or is) in a similar position and would be willing to share some knowledge. Not at all recommending a cigar forum for medical decision, and appreciate your guidance here.

College is a total scam.  Would not recommend going to college for most high school graduates.  Plenty of better trade or higher learning opportunities than college.  My degrees are mostly worthless paper.

I think "total scam" is a bit hyperbolic, no? Though I agree that, at least in the US, we need to do a better job presenting the trades as a valued and respectable career path. I think it's painful for a lot of kids who aren't academically inclined to have higher education offered as a the only correct choice.
