Been jabbed?

It's weird that this is thread # 666,666. I've seen some odd conspiracy theories lately claiming that the vaccines are the mark of the beast.

Ah, but it's 666 666 -- two 666s, making it a double negative. Therefore the evil cancels itself out

I'm not taking it and I'm not dumb as rocks. What a rude poll that doesnt consider that its not safe for some people based on medical advice they received.

There's a difference between not being able to receive the vaccine for legitimate medical reasons, and willfully rejecting it based on nonsense. The latter type of person is absolutely dumber than rocks on the basis that they are endangering the former.

Just got the third one last night. No side effects again so far.

Third one?  Is this third one a booster shot?

If a booster shot is required will you all, that are not, "dumber than a box of rocks", get that one too? After all, it's no different from getting a new 'regular' flu shot every year, and remember, they are only good for a few months.

Having gone through Covid and knowing what the alternative is, not even to speak of the risk of spreading to others, yes of course.

Of all the people I know who've had the vaccine zero have had more than a couple days of "I feel blah." Of all the people I know who have had covid, many have had awful experiences, including pneumonia. Had one friend lose their father. Had another friend lose her brother-in law (just a couple weeks ago).

When we get down to it, we're talking about simple mathematics and probability risk. How people "feel" about it doesn't change the mathematics of it and that almost everyone that isn't in a bubble is going to eventually be exposed. This thing is that contagious.

Given how deadly it is the conclusion is that anyone who is selfish enough to not want to stop it is lacking in empathy and caring not only for themselves but for everyone around them. You value us less than we value you, and that's going to keep this thing burning around the world and cause unimaginable suffering and grief. This is reality. People are entitled to opinions (what pizza is best, what color is a favorite), but not to their own facts and reality.

^ this is a few hours from me. This is absolutely the fault of adults that neglected to get a vaccine. Their children are now suffering for it. Child neglect seems to fit the bill here.

Yep! I get the flu shot every year, too. If there's something I can do to help protect and strengthen my community, I'm absolutely gonna do it.

I have not heard of a third (booster) shot given to anyone yet. They are supposed to start between September and December, and (at least here in the UK), it goes again by the most vulnerable first, and then by age.

In my country it is for the vulnerable who need a third one. I had a solid organ transplant (heart).

Oh dear; I don't know If I should be sorry to hear that or happy that you recieved one.  I think I'll be both!

My country is doing the same thing, the vulnerable come first then I don't know if it's gong to be like during the 'regular' flu season.  All I know is that I'm ready for it/them.  

Edited to add-----wait wait, don't we both live in the same county?

I was hesitant to get the vaccine at first, but after being properly educated about it and learning that I'll be able to do much more in the places I'm at I just went ahead and got it. It was the easiest shot I've gotten. Just like a flu shot. They stick you and they're done. I got both doses and just slept through the side effects that came later, but I can't tell if they were real side effects or just the power of suggestion. Either way I'm done with it and now I'm and the people around me are safer because of it.

I saw an interview recently where an American scientist said that for the immunocompromised, the 3rd jab is completion of the course rather than a booster. I don’t know if they’ve already started rolling out in the US?

Im expecting a 3rd as a booster in the next couple of months as a healthcare worker. As with the first two, I’ll be booking it as early as I can. The more protection I can offer my family, friends and colleagues the better.

edit: just seen 17 votes now saying that they won’t have it. I really hope they reconsider, but I am surprised at the numbers. And that those people feel strongly enough to say that they’re dumber than a box of rocks.

It is really scary! I will be getting the third when it is my turn.

3rd for me when green lit!

Honestly I don't see it more as people being dumb but being cautious as what they want in their body. Although governments want us to believe whatever they say it's still our free will to deny something that goes in our body. Numbers are still rising in areas even with the vaccine especially states like Florida and I don't exactly think it's because people aren't getting the vaccine. Attack me all you'd like over my opinion on it though.
