Will you be taking a booster?

First comment: I left out the word negligible. And I did a following risk assessment of how they weren’t comparable.

Second comment: was a joke, I couldn’t resist the Dougal Maguire big red button imagery.

Third comment: I was responding to your scenario of the unconscious person. Then you threw in there in afterwards about rescue teams etc. (changing factors)

Honestly, car on fire, unconscious. Rescue team ain’t getting there quick enough. Let’s hope you’re in a built up area with a hero among us.

Have you ever been in an engineering design meeting? Do you write down every mis-quote from your peers and try to steer the conversation back to that? Do you therefore try to stifle debate?

Or, do you try to look around the room and listen to peoples’ core message to try to find the way forward?

Do you act differently in real life vs. an Internet forum? Bravery.

Lets summarise our boring debate; the readers are well aware that you AND I both agree that seat belts can kill. My comments to the contrary only resulted in a stifling of the debate (by your obsession) despite my admittance to your analysis being correct.

Yet you want something more from me. You want my blood on a plate. I can’t give you that, I’m sorry. So your conclusion is that I’m not worthy of a seat in your echo chamber. Cool.

You are contributing greatly to the boredom unfortunately.

I presented my extensive safety and efficacy internet research to my son and asked him what he wanted to do. He looked at me like I had two heads and said "eh, would you not just ask a GP?".

So I did, and he said "go for it, three months gap is fine".

Absolutley no-one I know who has got the booster felt sick from taking at all (and that's a large group of people)

Recommendation: get the booster ...

There is no evidence of immune system overload, or cytokine storm as it is medically referred to, associated with vaccines. Cytokine storm is however associated with organ failure in people who are unvaccinated or immuno compromised when infected with Covid.

Vaccines help your immune system to target the Covid virus in your body when you are infected, reducing symptoms and lessening the risk of you becoming seriously ill. They do not prevent you from catching Covid. The mild omicrone variant will not be the last.

What you should be looking at is the number of infections verses the number of hospitalisations, even though over a hundred thousand have been infected recently, hospitalisations have not spiked, yet anyway. This may be due to a combination of the milder variant, and the high rate of vaccination.

Inform yourself, it really is crazy stupid that people think vaccines can overload immune systems or that vaccines prevent any risk of infection.

Your information about immune overload and transmission is clearly un-informed.

There is 1 common denominator. Constant silly arguing. Ruins threads.

My wife and I were both double dosed with Pfizer, got the Moderna booster and it floored us the next day, fever, cold sweats, ached all over and wrecked tired. Have heard a LOT of people who got the Moderna booster had similar symptoms.

Lasted 24 hours and gone as quick as it came on.

Does anyone know if we can say to the registration person in a HSE centre what vaccine we want? Seems to be the last time it was determined for me.
