    You can still get covid if you’re vaccinated. Lots of us have. The vaccine’s primary goal is to significantly lower your chances of getting serious illness.

    That said, the risk of myocarditis from COVID is higher than the risk of myocarditis from vaccination. And unless you think you’re never going to get covid, you should probably just get vaccinated if you want to make a rare thing (myocarditis) even more rare.

      I think people only read your first line and assumed you were an anti vaxxer. As someone who has all the jabs and still had covid twice, I can agree that it’s much better to have covid with the vaccine than without. Shit suuuuucks

      Yep, that’s me! the vaccines made me feel like complete shit, and when I got actual covid it didn’t seem as bad.

        Ditto for multiple vaccine shots.

        First vaccine: Immune system went hard to attack the new thing.

        Subsequent vaccines: Immune system has seen the song and dance before. Just a sore arm.

          funny thing… my country had mix & match as their method. I had 2 sinovac, and the rest have been Pfizer.

          That 3rd shot (1st pfizer) oh lord. I think that one really knocked me on my ass.

            Yeah, now that I think about it, it was the second shot of my first vaccination that knocked me out for a day.

            My subsequent 2022 and 2023 boosters have been uneventful now that my body seems to know what’s up.

            But we’ll see. I have my 2024 booster today.

        Me too but even when I was down and out I was still thankful I had the shots beforehand so it wasn’t as bad as it could have been.

      what’s the deal with the downvotes? This is all stuff the FDA and CDC agrees with.

      Unfortunately, this only weakens your argument to anti-vaxxers.
