Yeah, I'd think anyone who wants more boosters is probably an anxious person or needs one for some medical reason, or older people.
I never got my 3rd one (I was just lazy/forgot) until I learned I had been exposed, rushed out and got it but it was already too late at that point really. Pretty stupid because then I had vaccine side effects and covid at the same time lol.
I really have no inclination to get any more at this point until they either update the vaccine or some really bad new variant comes out.
I'm not getting any more either. I rather regret the third shot, I did it because my girlfriend and family were insisting. I got omicron a little while after (3 months later I think it was). I didn't get any side effects, but I didn't not get omicron, so yeah. Clearly there is no point, and also clearly it's not protecting anyone else if I get it or don't, at this point. Viruses mutate, and here we are. I don't regret getting the original vaccine doses, I got covid before I got those and all the data I've seen suggest that it was quite effective against the original strain of the virus. But it's time to admit that it isn't doing much, if anything, against omicron, and also that omicron isn't even scary unless you're old or immunocompromised. In which case, like during every flu season since forever, you have to protect yourself.
I can already tell you that it'll be a study where 30% of the people will experience one of the many possible symptoms say 5 months after infection.
Fatigue, headache... So yeah, totally meaningless. I have a headache right now.
Yeah you have to be wary of those studies that show such a high percentage of long covid occurrences. My girlfriend got really worked up and scared about one of those studies. I read it and it was exactly like you're saying, they gave respondents a follow-up survey like a month later, or 2 months maybe, and indicated they had "long covid" if they answered yes to any of the symptoms, which included such mild and subjective things as "I have felt more tired than usual", "I have had a headache", "I have felt brain fog", etc. I feel brain fog often in the morning... I get headaches sometimes. Sometimes I'm really tired. But that's nothing new, those things are normal to experience sometimes.
A friends father had some weird shit happen with one of his eyes, some inflammation
I had that, too, actually. My uncle also did, but he didn't get vaxxed, he it it after getting omicron, so given we both got omicron, and only one of us got the vaccine, I am inclined to pin that on covid itself, which causes autoimmune responses due to cytokines.
