I had 2 shots and 2 boosters 6 mo apart. I think by now it's about as harmful to me as the common cold, I actually feel a sick sort of enjoyment whenever somebody wins the Darwin award for this. Sucks for the people with auto-immune problems, though, my heart sinks for them.

Wife and I had two shots, two boosters, caught Covid in February, and we’re both still dealing with long Covid symptoms, aside from the fact that being sick itself was a nightmare.

This disease is a freaking lottery, you’ll never know how you’ll react until you catch it. My aunt and uncle are still somewhat recluse, because neither can take the shots. Really sucks for immunosuppressed people.

Careful, the Left Behind Christians want to bring about the end of the world for the same reason. It's not healthy.

I had two shots and a single booster. Got COVID last year when my parents decided to go to children's birthday party. For me it was sore throat for day and a half. But I still sat isolated for ten days and until my test showed negative.

So not even a cold for me... but I feel bad for people with less fortunate immune systems. In the end it's not about me but about those people who can't defend against it.
