Not anymore. Look at the studies done in Israel. The more shots you get the higher the chances you have of getting infected with the omnisniffles.
Here's the thing.....for me, anyhow. I spent almost 25 years in a career where I never knew if I'd be coming home or not (fire service). Now, I'm not looking for accolades or pats on the back. I did it happily and willingly. Did I think of the perils? In the back of my mind, yeah......but if you worried about that every day, you'd never go to work. Same with this virus. Does it exist? Absolutely. Is it real? Absolutely. But if you worry every day about what might kill you (Covid, heart attack, stroke, falling down the steps, car accident, pulmonary embolism, blah blah blah) you'd never leave the house. I refuse to be held prisoner by what might kill me -- I prefer to live life until until it's done. Your results may vary.
Thank you for your service, Russ. I just read the story of the 3 in Baltimore that didn't make it home at the end of the day. Sadness.
You're welcome Gary, but no thanks necessary. Honestly, it's a labor of love and I'm sure all the FF/EMS/LE would say the same. Wouldn't have traded for any career in the world.

Do i get a t shirt or something to commemorate my survival?...XL please.
I feel for all of us who have lost a love one as we all do, but making it a political blame game is a new low for either side of the aisle.

Really if you wanted too all those perils with stats you mention could be thrown out everyday by the compliant news media ....I think I'd even be scared to leave the bar....I mean bed.
You're welcome....but again, I didn't put that out there looking for recognition. The point I was trying to make is, you never know when your time is up, regardless of the cause. Worrying about what might get you doesn't change that and serves no useful purpose.
I'll take an XL, too.
I’m self quarantined now, tested positive Friday
I had mild headache and fever Thursday, slight cough, been fine since Friday afternoon unless there is something else coming
I’ve had worse hangovers
I’m 57, unvaccinated, should loose 40 pounds, smoked a pack a day up until last March, divorced 3 years ago so I go out to eat and to bars or people’s house all the time, never mask up it was only a matter of time I am surprised it took this long
Btw, I told my coworker who I had been collaborating on a project with the last week on Thursday I thought I had a fever and was going home and he tells me his son had just been tested positive two days before, so he had been looking over my shoulder for days with a sick kid at home, he tells me he had the shot so he could still work ……

What a bunch of misinformation you posted.
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/facts.html
You would need to figure in the possibility that the most susceptible became infected and hospitalized/dead during the earlier waves regardless of the veracity of the virus, or any effect of the vaccine. Almost impossible to draw any definitive conclusion.

So i had to get a covid test on Sat. for a procedure today except it came up positive. I have zero symptoms. The procedure is a cardio vascular test which I guess can wait....covid without any symptoms over rides my test which I actually thought was kind of important. I doubt they order such tests on a whim.
Deadliest virus ever trumps everything.
