Antivaxxers everywhere will be disappointed to know I’m still just fine, do not get 5G, have no nanobots or microchips, and am full of spicy memes to make fun of them with. Go get your shots.

    I got the 3 shots required for some international travel plans, but haven’t got any since then. I have had covid a few times but I was either completely asymptomatic, or had what felt like a common cold. So it just hasn’t been high up on my priorities.

        Totally get it for at-risk individuals. But I’m a young person in relatively good health, I’ll take my chances at building the natural immunity from infection.

            You are incorrect about natural immunity and COVID, studies have shown that the immunity is roughly equivalent. They both fade within a 60-90 day period. Source 1, Source 2. In fact the first source I linked to found that hybrid immunity through both vaccination and recovering from infection naturally provided the most robust protection against future infection.

            I personally am not interested in getting new booster shot every 60-90 days. I’ll take my odds. Hospitalization rates in healthy adults are incredibly low. The current hospitalization rate is 1.2 people in every 100,000. That’s like 0.000012%. I’ll take those odds.
