Do you regret receiving the vaccination? (drug, Canada, money, state)

[DannyHobkins]

Seems like public opinion is everchanging on the topic and probably will as more time goes on.

I know too many who were hospitalized, had serious complications, an amputation and some did not make it in 2020-21.

Was vaccinated in April, 2021. Boosted twice, since then. Looking forward to #3.

The formulation of the annual flu shot changes year to year and occasionally within the year. As it relates to the flu it’s all about the most prevalent viruses in the Southern Hemisphere used to predict what will be in the Northern hemisphere.

There has never been certainty the flu shot will prevent the flu in all people, all the time. It does however minimize symptoms in most people, most of the time. Same deal with Covid.

It was eventually realized that the annual flu shot was less effective amongst older folk. For this reason, those 65 and older have the option for a higher dose.

Thinking it likely the Covid vaccination will likely track the flu shot.

While I know several people who received boosters and still caught Covid, none have been hospitalized.

I don’t personally know anyone who experienced a side effect from the Covid shot, beyond a sore arm and brief fatigue.

Please clarify: what caused this? Covid-19 or the vaccine?

I got mild myocarditis from the second Pfizer dose but I don't think it did any permanent damage. Without it I would not be able to go to Canada, so I don't regret it. I RESENT being coerced into taking an unproven drug though.

No. I know people who are now suffering from long Covid because they contracted the virus pre-vaccine. Had someone in the family die from not being vaccinated. I also know people who were hospitalized for months and put on respirators who didn't get the vaccine. Didn't want to take chances. Plan on getting the booster in the Fall.

I got the J&J vaccine over a year ago. Don't regret it, but I don't plan to get any boosters or any of the mRNA vaccines. I'm not high risk, so I'll just let my natural immunity do its thing.

[Chowhound]

I completely regret getting vax. I only got it because of pressure at work.

I already even had COVID at one point too but nobody seemed to care about natural immunity, just get that damn shot and shut up.

The efficacy is turning out to be lower than stated and for a short amount of time.

With these kinds of things you just have to follow the money, as in about every subject in life, find out who's making money and what they're pushing.

Natural immunity isn't paying well.

If I had it yo do over, I wouldn’t have gotten the first 2 moderna vaccines. I don't plan on getting anymore. I know a lot of others I know feel the same.
