To Boost or not to Boost...Boosters are here next month!
 
This is never going to end and if they keep up with boosters, Covid will get harder and harder to control.....this needs to stop!

Got keep the cash cow going.

OrangeBlossomBaby 08-18-2021 12:22 PM

I'll get mine in December. I get my flu shot every year, this'll just be another yearly vaccine and I'm fine with that.

Since no one makes money on flu shots, big pharma needed another source of revenue - et voila! Yearly COVID booster. :ohdear:

Looks like I will not have to compete with other Villagers for booster shot like I did for first 2

Agree and I will definitely get the booster.

Velvet 08-18-2021 01:30 PM

I’m ready for the booster, now and later and later. Whatever it takes. What I am not ready for, at any time, is to get Covid.

I’ll wait see if the pigeons have any side effects, then I will consider it.

it's amazing to me... all the naysayers that they interview in the hospitals seem to change their mind after they were infected and were near death.. you certainly have the right to your opinion and good luck to you.. but honestly I have NO sympathy for anyone who refuses the vaccine and then gets infected especially at our age ... but then again it's one more open T-time for me

tvbound 08-18-2021 04:30 PM

As long as Clorox isn't the manufacturer, I'm up for a booster shot.

sail33or 08-18-2021 04:45 PM

They are finding that COVID stays primarily 3 feet above the ground.

After getting your Booster the requirement will be crawl on your bellies.

I HAVE gotten both shots, you don’t need to feel any sympathy for me.

Yep, keep the agenda going.

charlieo1126@gmail.com 08-18-2021 06:54 PM

Having just left my brother in laws rehab here in Boston I can tell you he wishes he could have gotten the shots he has been in mass general hospital since feb , he had no health problems before getting Covid he is in rehab to clear up the open sores that they couldn’t control all those months in intensive care and if had not been in a hospital rated one of best in world he would most likely be dead ,,someone says booster shot I say which arm.

When i got my first covid shot they told me there would be a booster in approx 6 months because that’s how long the shot would last. Did they not tell you that when you got yours? Do you not get your tetanus booster every 10 years? Boosters aren’t new or simply covid related. …..:ho:

taruffi57 08-19-2021 04:50 AM

Reports coming in from everywhere that already vaccinated are getting COVID. Many reputable Drs. and research entities say vax compromises natural immunity. Lots of censorship going on.

It's another IQ test.

Jeez, Get the little baby shot on the way to the links. So so much trouble.

If you want to belong to a group, belong to the not dying group. Score a little higher.

Don't you watch "World's Dumbest"

tsmall22204 08-19-2021 05:20 AM

Why do people blame the covid issues on the vaccine/booster? If all would be vaccinated there would be no need for a booster.

And how do you propose “this” to end? Boosters are becoming necessary because too many people don’t want to believe the medical community, and continue to party with everyone. The only other way is to lock down everyone in US, lock all borders (not a bad idea on the South) until the virus dies out. I’m sure you are not for that either.

Blackbird45 08-19-2021 05:43 AM

What is the big deal.
You join the military and within the first couple of weeks you become a pin cushion.
I watch these big bikers covered in tattoos saying there not going to get the shot.
If your not afraid of needles and you still do not take the shot and you do get covid you should just stay home and deal with it.
Why go to the overrun hospitals, with the chance you going to infect someone else.

banjobob 08-19-2021 05:44 AM

The cash cow , and fear factor in the news , I say if you have a healthy immune system . Forget it and live your life ignore all the hand wringers and fear mongers.

Thanks for citing your references and URL’s on the “reports coming in from everywhere”??? Turn of Fox noise and stop listening to conspiracy theory nutz!

The Covid19 virus can not reach herd immunity...ever.

If it could we would not be seeing the common cold exist.

Also non sterilizing vaccines can cause variant's to occur from the vaccinated.

Look it up..Let Me Google That

Coal Miner 08-19-2021 05:56 AM

Boosters
 
Covid will be around as long as there are antivacers. Ill get my booster in Oct and my flu vaccine in dec.

bonrich 08-19-2021 06:08 AM

I would rather test for antibodies first, and if I had the correct numbers I would forego the booster.

graciegirl 08-19-2021 06:53 AM

Me and mine will be getting the boosters. Doc told us yesterday to wait eight months from the date of the second shot. Get the same kind unless they have decided otherwise at that time.

Lots of people agreed with me about getting the booster on my Facebook page too, young and old, Villagers and folks clear over in London. A really nice list posted that they would be sticking out their arm to get the booster when it is the right time. The Villages Health Centers now offer the Moderna Shots.... Our daughter had the Pfizer, (we drove her to Orlando to get hers)...because she was younger and that is the place that it was first offered for those younger.

Every single person I know and love have had the vaccine. Except for three. I keep hoping that they too will get the first two. Before they get sick and you know...

Andyb 08-19-2021 06:58 AM

And the date they started this reporting? CDC umbers started back in January when a large portion of Americans were not vaccinated. I’m tired of being deceived.

Bay Kid 08-19-2021 07:02 AM

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

FromNY 08-19-2021 07:04 AM

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.

Andyb 08-19-2021 07:05 AM

Correct, we still do not know long term effects.

Waltdisney4life 08-19-2021 07:13 AM

We must be coming up to an election year

La lamy 08-19-2021 07:17 AM

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:

rjn5656 08-19-2021 07:17 AM

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

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.

Jacob85 08-19-2021 07:33 AM

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
