The pandering to people's fear and uncertainty I am seeing is as dangerous as the virus. Thank you for being a voice of reason and for setting an example.

Agreed. Nothing more to add....

Agree that very vast majority of people should get the vaccine. However, in a free society, nobody should be forced to take it. And herd immunity might never be achieved via the vaccine, unfortunately. Different diseases have different thresholds for herd immunity. Measles was 95%. Polio was 80%.

I’m boosted ! I’m Pfizer so I got mine a few weeks ago.

I am planning to get my booster just not sure which one as I had J and J. I also think this likely will be something to deal with for a very long time.

I don’t disagree

For certain populations at risk it may make perfect sense. Shaming others to take it though “for the good of mankind” is not good. I’m addition, legislating compliance via social control techniques like what see happening in NYC this week is also I’ll advised. Should mandatory vaccination for first responders move forward we may see 20% of firehouses close. There are almost 90 heart attacks a day in the City and it’s boroughs. How many citizens will die?

You can already see garbage piling up on city streets. (Only 67% of sanitation workers have had the first jab). Part of being a free society is having control over your body. Isn’t that the first tenet of abortion rights ? In addition what ever happened to HIPAA compliance ? No one should have to share their health history in a public forum unless they want to.

I personally saw the value of being vaccinated. The positives outweighed the negatives in my mind. The reality is that many people have been advised by their docs, due to pre-x conditions NOT to get the jab as it may be toxic to their immune system. There is also no guarantee that a 3x vaccinated person (see Colin Powell), will not contract the virus as it may not work in some people.

Lastly, I think judging people for not letting their young 5-11 year old children get the 1/2 jabs is not reasonable. Parents need to make a very important decision here and the fact that less than 0.0038 of children have died from the China originated virus does not mean that we have to compromise their lives (with 8 decades of life to live), to “save or protect” our elderly who may only have 1-2 decades of life span left. This is not cruel it is just a fact. .

With all the data out there, and seeing so many searches for COVID-19 vaccine related items (Google has done a good job sending people to the CDC), I'm still a bit surprised it is taking this long for people to realize the science is real. I'll admit I didn't like being knocked out after my second shot, but will be getting my booster later this winter.

I jumped at the opportunity

I'm boosted too!!!

Made sense to me to get Boosted. I believe in the science!

Boost! Boost! Baby!

I had Covid March of 2020. It was horrible. I am now a long hauler. Covid threw my thyroid out of whack, I was always hypothyroid and now I am hyperthyroid. I have to have my blood tested monthly to see where my thyroid levels are. For the first year I also tested positive for antibodies. Once I now longer had antibodies, I took both vaccinations (Moderna)--I was sick (really sick) both times. Recently, my endocrinologist told me that I have Graves disease (it's not as bad as it sounds), it's not good either. She told me that this was from Covid AND the vaccine. She had to repeat that last part 3 times.She continued with "We just don't know enough.". I went home, googled it and sure enough...I might have re thought getting the vaccine if I knew this info beforehand. Hypothyroid is easy to control, Graves disease, not so much. I still believe in science, however I do not believe in mandates.

I'm so glad that you are protected. I am too, with a Pfizer booster in early October. I still wear a mask because, sadly, so many others don't seem to care.
