I had the original round plus a booster six months after. It felt like the wise choice at the time. Knowing what I know now, I'd do it again. I get the flu vaccine every fall so I'll probably also get a COVID booster at that time each year.

I got original Pfizer with 2 Moderna boosters, opted not to get anymore boosters and ended up getting COVID for the first time this fall and it sucked headache /fever for 5 days plus the worst sore throat I have ever had lost ten lbs because I couldn’t eat or drink , ended up getting pretty dehydrated but no respiratory issues , so will probably get a booster next time they offer it at work or with my FLU shot.

Yep I'm at #4 with the first three being the 1st gen pfizer then the 4th being the bivalent.
I just hate being sick as I have too much shit going on to isolate and get an ivermectin enema. |

Original Pfizer, 1 Pfizer booster, 2 Moderna boosters. Never felt a thing any time. Haven't gotten covid as far as I know.
This is the shit that terrifies me: https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/25/busin...ims/index.html I think I'd rather die than get hardcore long covid. |

I do.
I didn't want to get in the first place but since I work in government contracting, I was basically forced to get it or lose my job. I politely acquiesced and got the shot anyway because I wanted to be a good corporate citizen. The shot itself was unlike anything I ever had. They used a huge, almost IV-like, needle and my arm bled for several hours. I've had thousands of shots, IV's, and blood draws and have never bled like that, especially not from my damn shoulder. On top of that, about 4 weeks after the shot, I started getting radiating pain starting in my shoulder where I got the shot and extending down into my elbow. I've had it ever since and even though I cannot say it was the shot that caused, it certainly looks plausible. |

This was unlike anything I've ever experienced with getting a shot. I don't know if it was a supply issue with my pharmacist or what. That being said, it wasn't really the COVID vaccine itself that caused my problems (unless it's causing the persistent pain I still have) but more the administration of the vaccine. |

Agreed. Sounds like the administration of the shot is the culprit here. Probably injected it into a blood vessel (or nerve?). Avoiding blood vessels is pretty easy as I understand. Just have to do a negative draw to ensure to no blood is withdrawn into the syringe.

The one thing I will say about my personal experience with COVID is that it's not at all like the flu or a cold in terms of consistency of symptoms across my family. Normally, if one person gets the flu and other people get it, their symptoms are almost exactly the same as it spreads (again, in my personal experience). A dozen or so of my closer relatives have now had COVID and NONE of them presented more than a small overlap in symptoms or symptom severity and all of them were vaxxed. Sure there's some commonality (half of them lost taste, for example) but there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason. It's almost like COVID is much more specific in how it affects the body and thus present itself as somewhat "customized" to a person's physical makeup. |

I may be the champion vaccinator of this group, because I got the first two shots and then three boosters. I was traveling a lot and figured I'd minimize my odds of having trouble when I was around a lot of strangers.
I don't think I've ever had Covid, by the way. I've had a few instances where I wondered, like probably most of us. If I had it I survived it. |
