Ditto.
I've had COVID twice. First time was before the vaccine. I was tired and had a headache - no respiratory issues.
The second time was after I had both doses of the vaccine (no booster). Symptoms were much worse, but I was not hospitalized (again no respiratory issues).
I know at least 10 people who have recently had COVID. All of them have had both shots plus the booster. Some have had the same symptoms I had... some had worse.
I am not going to get a booster shot.
Why?
1. Because it's not going to prevent me from getting COVID.
2. If I get COVID, it doesn't mean my symptoms will be less severe.
Everyone has to do what they feel is right for them. I respect everyone's decision. But for me... I'm not getting the booster.
