re: Any folks who took the shot who regret it? Why?

Got the shots, don't think about them ever.

I had to do it for international travel. My entire family is in a medical field (most doctors) and it's not something worth worrying about, honestly.

We thought the very same thing when the covid hysteria started. It was annoying watching the covid nutsos then, it's annoying watching the vax nutsos now.

There was a pretty big push that the shot could help residual symptoms for awhile.

Thing is I don’t have any other symptoms. Plenty of energy, can exercise really hard, strong, no respiratory issues, etc.

I just get a shitload of PVCs and bigeminy (extra beat every second beat) for hours after pushing really hard and probably 20 an hour or so when I’m relaxing. Best guess by cardiologists and electrophysiology is just a pocket of cells got inflamed and just wants to go now.

They’ve told me they see it in younger guys both from Covid and the shot.

So you haven't taken the boosters?

Nope.

I don't think they'd hurt me in any way, but none of this has stopped covid so why would I?

Nobody has asked me about it since back when it was required for me to travel overseas.

If you are really from a medically oriented family, you should be able to admit that this shot does in fact cause unintended damage:

It's pretty evident now that the immune response to covid vaccines mimics - perhaps conmeasurately to the effects of the disease - the immune response to covid itself.

Hard not to see that and stats - even from the mfgs show that.

Statistically, though, the overall risk is insanely low. It is higher in younger people (as is the risk for myocarditis and pericarditis in infections, as well).

So to me, and my abandoned medical background, none of this is in any way surprising. What the governments and pharma companies did was gloss over all of that. They told people these were 100% safe, which is nonsense for every single vaccine in history.

The biggest failing is not recognizing the duration of efficacy would be as short as it is, particularly given our long experience with similar upper respiratory pathogens.

If they had said "look there's a good chance you'll have lesser symptoms but this will not eliminate your odds of getting covid and you'll have to continuously be boosted to continue this" I think a whole lot fewer people would have gotten on board.

And given all of that, the idea of suppressing the virus in the entire population to shield the weak was always a fool's errand. There was never a need to recommend this for anyone under 25 or so. Would some younger people get myocarditis, etc., from covid and similar infections? Absolutely, they are today. But that's a risk we've lived with forever.

You may not have been affected, you should be glad you were given the shot properly so it didn't cross the blood/brain barrier.

Unless some people are getting the shot directly in the brain, subQ or intravenous are effectively the same in terms of the blood/brain barrier.

I took the original 2 dose series. I regret it, but mostly because it’s useless. I took it to prevent forward transmission, not for myself. Now Tony is giving speeches where he explains that an intramuscular injection and systemic immunity (such as it is) doesn’t prevent infection of the upper airway and thus doesn’t prevent transmission. That should’ve been communicated at the time. I ended up getting heart inflammation after my third infection, and right now I just hate the whole fricking thing. All of it. The virus should not exist, and those responsible need to be held accountable.

I had tix to Spain several weeks ago. Found out they required a nasal swab for the unvaxxed so I changed my ticket to a different country??

Took 4, main jab (2 shots), 2 boosters; all good here.

Same story here, multiple COVID shots.

I got exposed last month, tested positive at the doctor's office, felt kinda crummy for two days, then felt fine since.

Biggest side effect was MAGAs' dirty stares while wearing a mask in public following my positive test, per doctor's orders.

My biggest fear are the non vaxers. On this very board Ive been verbally and sexually harassed, physically threatened. These people are worse than nazis or the klan. Its obviously guilt from the fact they have given non vax advice to a loved one who ended up paying the ultimate price. Thus they attack the vaxxed. Its akin to men with latent homosexual tendencies lashing out at gays and rather obvious. No doubt the federal govt will have to put in some classification for hate crimes against the non vaxxers for their violent threats to the vaxxed. At least I hope so, they are a far greater threat to society than antifa or blm ever were.

Satire?
