Covid is different for everybody. Some may feel like crap for a day or two, others a week. Some months. Some have lingering heart, lung, liver, etc issues due to Covid. It's not your typical flu by any means.

We're now into year two of "this year's" seasonal flu strain

No I dont.
A flu vaccine is also much different that the mRNA type. mRNA types are new and not fully vetted or understood. Its my body and it should be my choice.
I choose not to take some rushed medicine that more than likely will cause problems. It wont be long and we will start hearing ads that ask "did you take the COVID vaccine? If so you might be entitled to compensation".

serious answer
I know plenty of healthy people who've had rough bouts with it (and were ultimately fine) and I'd prefer not to do that

It's a weird one for sure. I know an 85 year old overweight female who can barely climb a flight of stairs, she was just in bed for a few days. A mid-fifties male who's not an ounce overweight, runs and exercises regularly, it damn near killed.

The wife and I are almost 70 and we have not had a vaccine for shite in our married life (almost 50 years) and we ain't starting now over bullshite Big Pharma and Demon rats trying to push it. Too many people having reactions to it

Oh, it's not just Covid/flu. It's Covid:
a. cancer
b. diabetes
c. heart failure
d. kidney/liver failure
e. renal failure
ETC.
All of these causes of deaths are on the decline because they have been renamed.
Doctors don't even have to do a Covid check on a patient brought into the hospital already dead. They just look and say 'Yep, mark it down as covid.'

What type of reactions?

So I don’t contract and give it to somebody who doesn’t have a 99.7% survival rate...like my parents who are in their 70’s.
Correct me if I’m wrong but aren’t they saying you can still contract and transmit the virus after you are vaccinated (you just don’t get sick or have severe symptoms)? Hence why they say you must still wear mask and socially distance?

Since the jabs are basically pointless, as admitted, perhaps they have another purpose, even nefarious in nature as some have alluded to?
Let's make a shite ton of money and kill off a few million useless eaters in the process. The survivors we'll treat like pets.

No. Never. Haven't had the flu for about ten year or more.
Flu is much worse than cov19 to me. covid19 is so mild compared to the "just shoot me" flu.

They are not saying you CAN contract and transmit, just that they are not SURE you can't.
To be clear, the same thing is true about getting the virus. They are not sure you that you cannot transmit it again even after you have had it, or how long any immunity still lasts. Remember this virus is just over a year old.

We need a "Why take the vaccine board". Dead Horse

I had the Covid. It was like a 4 day Flu. No damned fun. My wife was sick for 16 days and had a mild case of pneumonia. It effects everyone differently.... some get pretty damned sick.
Under 35.... no vaccine
In your 40s- consider it
In your 50's (me) consider it even harder

I hate taking meds, but I am getting it (hopefully this week). I am often in confined space (small planes) and I am around elderly people fairly often. I am also not around any urgent care facilities and would have to travel in a small plane to get to one. I know I can still be a carrier, but I still want to do my part to reach herd immunity.

Several members of congress have tested positive after getting the vaccine. I think it's a personnel decision each person has to make.
Posted on 2/8/21 at 3:02 pm to Sleepy6969
I’ll probably survive, I know that. I just really hate being sick.

Because a novel virus like this getting loose into the human population is not already hopping into other species it's already mutating in us. So now the vaccines will hopefully provide less petri dishes so it stays in milder forms and we also prep our own defenses down the line by prepping for our bodies for the fight down the line where we don't need boosters.

This post illustrates what my first post on the topic was months ago. This virus has been a great lesson on homeostasis. The fact that human individuals operate at widely various levels of fear tolerance.
I posted here that living life during Covid has changed my self perception on fear. On a scale of 1-10 (1=scared to go outside; 10= scared of nothing at all) I always considered myself a '5.'
Now I feel like a 9. There are a LOT of pussies out there.
I don't care that you want a vaccine and to wear masks. But don't mandate it for the rest of us.
