I had an extremely mild case of covid 15 months ago. I have never been vaxxed. Since then, my double vaxxed and boosted wife has had covid twice and just been much sicker in general. I took no special precautions either time she had covid and never caught it. Like many others I know she now regrets ever rolling up her sleeve. Not only did I refuse to take the needle for the covid shot, I also refuse anything and everything the CDC recommend for seniors.
I was seriously considering getting vaccinated in the early days. I did LOTS of research on previous vaccines - primarily for the H1N1 flu (2008??). Lots of pros and cons, but one of the cons that I recall (I can’t find it now) was that the vaccine actually made one MORE susceptible to variants of the original flu. And deadly in their test subjects (ferrets??). All of the animals died when exposed to the new variants. I don’t think they were the mRNA style that most people took for Covid.
I was still on the fence with all of my researching. It was only until the government (state and federal) mandated that I get a vaccine in order to work on their projects. Screw them - if they are using those types of tactics I’m not getting a vaccine - even if I am still on the fence if they are good or not. I lost a few jobs.
