Sounds like covid will be always with us like the flu.

They are offering large cash incentives if you get your booster shot where I work.
Long gone are the vaccination lines.
Everybody I know has gotten the bivalent boosters.

Perhaps there are no vaccination lines because so many clinics, grocery stores, drugstores and hospitals offer the boosters now.

My guess would be attention-seeking.

I had the original three shots, don't think I will get this new one. She also said they were overwhelmed with covid patients now, maybe we are peeking.
Your choice. However, as has been said many times here the vaccine is less about preventing covid (although cases are fewer in those vaccinated) than reducing severity of cases among those vaccinated. Maybe three shots is enough. I went and had four, so I am fully vaccinated.

So original four, but not the new one?

We haven't met, but I regret getting the Covid vaccine/boosters.

Worst decision of my life.

Adverse effects as written on CDC website. They're saying major illness' from the vaccines usually go away after 1 year. Only 7 more months to go to see if they're right.

No more boosters for me or any family members. Also friends are done too after seeing the effects.

I don't like conspiracy theories and think the vaccine helped more than it hurt, but being one of those it hurt really sucks.

Everyone I know has gotten the bivalent booster, too. And no one I know has had any problems because of the bivalent booster.

I’m sorry to hear about your friends.
My niece was vaccinated early in her pregnancy.
I was really worried about that and the possible side effects the child might get.
So far so good.

I’m not a mandatory vaccination fan but I haven’t heard of an increase in miscarriages.
Hopefully it stays that way and the kids don’t get any health issues later on.
