Where did this virus start? Who do you believe? Honest answers?

Getting tested for antibodies First. If levels good booster can wait. Also those with medical issues especially autoimmune should clear it with their doctors. An over abundance can c a use damage to the immune system. Defeating the purpose of a vaccine.

Correct, we still do not know long term effects.

We must be coming up to an election year

I hope they try to adjust the booster vaccines to specifically combat the Delta variant, but of course there'll probably be another variant as soon as that's ready! Viruses sure are tricky. I wish you well everyone vaccinated, double vaccinated, triple vaccinated or not. :pray:

Booster
 
I will get one. I always get sick in fall so anything to prevent complications I will take a chance.

Covid booster shots: U.S. to begin wide distribution of third vaccine doses next month

Hooray! I’m ready! I wonder if this will become a yearly thing, or twice a year.

Me too. Anything it takes. My arm is OUT when the eight months is up and so is every one we know and love.

I so agree with no competition as will be there as soon as I can to get it. Not even going to try to talk anyone into it! I don’t want to go through what I did before to get the shot

I have an extremely healthy immune system. I have not been sick at all for over 20 years. I did get both Pfizer shots back in March.

Tuesday morning I had a fever so I knew something was wrong. Went and got a rapid Covid test and tested positive.

Today is day three of quarantining my fever is gone and all I have is a small headache. Thank God I got the vaccinations. Only seven more days of quarantining. Stay safe out there.

Did you think that there would only be 2 shots needed when there are several lines (not 2) on the card?

But, on the other hand, we know the effects of Covid for sure.

Does that mean that only two boosters will ever be necessary for Pfizer and Moderna since there are only four lines on the card? (or is the card trying to tell me I don't need to make any plans for 2023 and beyond?)

Since the majority of people do not die, no one needs your sympathy!
