Anyone else feel ashamed of getting the Covid shots?

If you get the vaccination it means you may still get covid but it will be like getting a bad cold .you are protecting yourself and also it means you probably won,t pass it on to friends, family and co workers . it amazes me that people dont understand how vaccination works, the reason 1000, of people did not die from covid is most people got vaxxed hence the impact of covid 19 was limited .it,s free , and covid 19 is a deadly disease which if it does not kill you it will leave you with long covid, a long term illness which attacks the lungs and other bodily organs .

this is the most stupid thread i have seen on boards.ie ,

imagine if i posted do you regret using condoms when having casual sex ?its a waste of money.

who cares if you get a std ,big deal . stds are justmisinformation put out by big medical companys .

theres too many people reading social media , misinformation like covid is caused by 5g,

i prefer to believe medical experts and doctors that say its good to get vacccinated as a precaution ,yes there are new covid varients thats why everyone should get the latest booster ,covid 19 will be around for years ,

theres people getting covid 19 especially at big events like concerts but at this stage most people have got vaxxed

so its not a deadly serious medical problem.

if you go to a concert with say 10,000 people there its very likely some people there will have covid 19 and they

can pass it on to you or anyone who is close to them since the virus is transmitted through the air person to person .

and theres no six feet separation at concerts and other public events .

theres very little publicity about covid 19 nowadays ,.i saw ads on rte tv about getting the booster a few months ago.

i would be happy to get vaxxed every month it thats whats necessary to protect myself and other people from the virus.

it only takes 2 or 3 minutes to get vaccinated .

Of course young people tend to be reckless or they feel i,m fit , i,ll never get old or get ill .

LOL. I cannot believe there are some on here still rambling away about the vaccicnes not working.

Back when the fiest vaccines were becoming widely distributed the numbers of those vaccinated in hospital beds and in intensive care wards dropped off, whereas those not vaccinated proportionally rose. I asked back then if the vaccines didn`t work how could that be explained. Not a dickie bird then or since.

Not that I`m interest now mind you. Life it too short for chasing nut jobs down rabbit holes

Nope. Listened to the science and the rationale, read the science and rationale, considered my 4 kids, partner, job and responsibilities and got it.

3 1/2 years later, I'm still here. Providing for my family.

My neighbour, in his mid 50's, didn't take it. Nobody was allowed to attend his funeral.

Because of Covid, n'all...

Don't feel ashamed but feel at the time I got it just because of the freedom it entailed ie international travel/indoor dining etc more so the health benefits of it. Got covid in the summer of 2022 and felt it was mild but maybe that was cause of getting the vaccine and booster in Dec 2021

Not sure would I have got it otherwise if it wasn't for the restrictions. I never got the 'flu shot' pre Covid

Ashamed of doing something that benefits both me and the community in general?

Certainly not.

The adults left the room when the anti-vaxxers started abusing them.

From recollection the Moderna vaccine gave people the worst initial reactions. Some people thought that was a good thing in terms of immune response but most felt that Pfizer was an easier option. Those people used to specifically ask for Pfizer at mass vaccination centres.

Sorry this reply was to gym imposter

Bollox.

Post viral symptoms are well recognised as been an issue for all viruses. COVID is no exception and probably more likely because of the damage it causes to the perifery blood vessels. Many people have suffered permanent debilitating organ damage.

And your dubious claims don't even meet the standard of a theory.

It is known that viruses can trigger secondary conditions and long term reactions. Covid as a severe and highly infectious virus is therefore likely to do this.

It would be contrary to expectations if Covid did not manifest such impacts in a % of those infected.

Tests such as these point to some of the ways it impacts.

Nope, I'm someone who presents the evidence. The only "true believers" are those who continue to peddle dubious opinions that are either known to be false or without foundation, and in disregard to the evidence presented to them. So I don't expect such people to align with anything I say.

In a small study supported by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), severe cases of COVID-19 were shown to cause long-lasting changes to the immune system.
