Never had the flu and haven't had a flu shot in the last fifty years. Had covid but it was no more vicious than a mild cold. I'm glad everyone else gets their shots, so they can live forever. You do live forever when you get your booster, right? Just me being facetious. I am neither for nor against covid boosters and will not try to convince anyone to forego getting their vaccinations. Me? At this time, I am not getting any boosters. I had my original two shots and no boosters. I'm healthy and well past my expiration date so if I croak from covid, I've lived a great life so C'est la vie. Not planning to wear a face mask anymore either, UNLESS I have to visit a hospital and they require it. Living dangerously? Hey, I wear a seat belt when I drive and a helmet when I ride my motorbike.  |
Good for you. So there actually is a rational thinker left in this world ! Seems the more people are boosted, the more times they get it. Then they tell you they would be dead, having had it 3 times, if not for their boosters. Makes about as much sense as microbes being trapped in common food handler masks and masks made of cute quilting fabrics. But these things seem to keep people from panicking, makes them feel safe and protected, like carrying a rabbit's foot on a key chain. And that is a good thing, anything to calm the masses is a positive; it's an old psychological principle and it works. `
