Depends. If you're high risk maybe they will. If you're young and healthy you're not at any risk of dying. It's like saying I should wear a parachute walking down the street bc if I went skydiving I need one.

Except that this parachute is full of holes, whether you need it or not.

I have a cold right now. Must have caught it from someone at work last week. I'm scared I might die.

If you choose not to believe me, then go ahead and keep getting boosters at your own risk. Doesnt affect me one bit. The risk is NOT lower just because you are vaccinated as liberal media wants the sheep to believe. I know of vaccinated people who almost died from Covid and I know others (like myself) who never got Covid to this day and are not vaccinated.
I do not get my information from the media. I read research articles. I may post links to media articles because they simplify the info for lay audiences.

I know exactly what is in the vaccines.

The "many people who know others who have died from these vaccines" only know what is being claimed, not what has been proven.

I have and will continue to get boosters because the overwhelming evidence is that they are safe and effective against severe disease and death, particularly at my age {75}.

I am vaccinated and boosted. I have never had covid and the worst effect of the vaccine has been a sore arm and perhaps feeling mildly under the weather with the first dose.

The risk of dying is lower if you are young and healthy but it is not zero.

Just as I said, confirmed by an ER doctor that many people have been coming in with different viruses because people don't have high immune systems. Said too long of mask wearing messed with people's immune systems.
So go out there, shake some hands, lick the subway and get some bacteria back in your system.
Your immune system needs it!

Wear a mask if you are the one sick so you don't infect others! Or cause it's cold out. But don't wear one to keep yourself in a bubble. It will do more long-term damage than good.

You're more likely to get in a car accident going to get the vaccine than actually die from COVID if you're young and healthy.

At your age it's a different story.

Different people have different health needs and health risks and should act accordingly. I've taken my almost 90 year old grandma to get boosters same as I've taken her for plenty of other doctors appointments for things I don't need either.

My doc told me exactly the same thing! Sadly there are many brainwashed people who just cannot comprehend these facts.

I don't know if you remember this word asymptomatic, but that was also a reason why people were wearing masks
