Then I was fine. Like a bad flu. At least what I remember about the flu since I got it before but years ago.
With the Covid fever never went past 102 and oxygen never went below 94%. I just don't see the point in my getting some experimental shot that the administers have immunity from any responsibility if something goes wrong.
If Covid was so deadly you would have people lined up fighting to get the shots. But it's not much worse than the flu for people in non risk groups.
I personally think the whole thing is overblown.
You got covid for Christmas, Maxpen? Nice gift. lol

My first reaction was that everyone should get the vaccine. If that were to happen, we could eradicate covid from the planet. Without that, it will likely settle down some and turn into an annual thing were people at higher risk get vaccinated each year, or 6 months and people that don't want to get vaccinated, just hope they get a mild case if they get it. And that is fine.

It is unrealistic to think everyone is going to do something in this country, especially in this climate, and even if if they did, there are poor countries in the world that aren't going to be able to vaccinate everyone, so there would still be outbreaks. And in todays global world, outbreaks one place means outbreaks everywhere. So I have softened my vaccine proponent position and people should just do what they are comfortable with. For me, I will be getting my second shot in a couple weeks and if I need a booster or new vaccine for the new variants, every 6 months or every year, I will get that. There are worse things in life.
