Everyone must make their own decision, and I've made mine.

Waiting to see if you disappear before commenting.

Gary, my onc advised against the vaccine. I developed a low grade fever (under 100) and a sore throat in end of January.. I was set to get the monoclonal treatment, however that option was taken away. Treated with a strange assortment of meds. The symptoms hung around for a couple of weeks, but never got worse. I do not know if the meds halted and reversed the virus progression. The only thing I do know is that I wish there was more transparency around the tests conducted by the vax companies, and more options to treat the illness.

If the CDC and the FDA recommend and approve a 4th booster for my demographic, I'll get the 4th booster. As long as it's recommended and approved by the CDC and FDA, my insurance will cover it. If it turns out to be another yearly shot like the flu shot, I'll get them both every year. I had the flu once a few years ago. Not interested in going down that route again.

My sister and husband both have had COVID. My husband had the current Omicron version - felt miserable for a few days but was otherwise his usual self. Sister was sick as a dog for months, lost her sense of taste and smell, had trouble breathing, trouble moving, any worse and she would've needed hospitalization.

I'm not interested in finding out how badly I'd experience it, if I caught it.

Most people are intelligent enough to make up their own minds. We don't need this stupid government to tell us what to take and what to not take. This country is beginning to feel like a dictatorship. What happened to this great country having a bunch of idiots telling all us smart people what we should and shouldn't do.

Hey, Pat did you have a conversation with my Primary Doctor? He just told me the same thing you said almost word for word. He and his wife will not be getting shot #4.

He did advise me to get the shot. So shot #4 for me on Monday. What the hell.

I am not a Doctor or advisor to others about their decision on any shot. It's none of my business.

This is why home prices will be so much lower in a couple years.

My wife said she has no intention of getting a booster, period. She is a cancer survivor and has diabetes, had two shots and recently survived covid.

My doctor examined my blood work and mentioned that I had my two shots. Did not ask me if I wanted a booster, and I didn't bother asking him if I should.

One who would be 80-85 years or more old probably has a different view on whether to vax 4 or not.

It was never a question for me. Looked to see how the thousands people over 50 who got 4th shot were doing in Israel. They are doing fine. The vaccine doesn’t cost me anything, so everything is looking good.

I do not recall ever being told that the mRNA vaccines will prevent infection. Only "sterilizing" vaccines can prevent infection. mRNA vaccines are NOT sterilizing vaccines.

I recall VERY VIVIDLY thinking, "thank goodness I'm fully vaccinated because I will not become hospitalized and die from this virus if I get infected. I never ever thought I would never become infected with the virus because I was vaccinated with an mRNA vaccine. MSM "hammered" that fact with every reporting about the mRNA vaccines.

I don't know about the J&J vaccine because that is not the vaccine I was given and therefore did no reading about that one at all.

As an aside......."sterilizing immunity vaccines" do not make a human sterile. What they do is offer sterilizing immunity meaning the virus can not infect an individual who has been vaccinated. I do not understand why people continue to think that our Covid vaccines offer sterilizing immunity to every person who is vaccinated. They never have.

Read about sterilizing immunity............

Coronavirus: few vaccines prevent infection – here's why that's not a problem

Cancer is not the only condition that can make an individual immunocompromised. You just never know by looking at someone who may be immunocompromised. Someone in their late 80s could die from the common cold so there is that.
