COVID Omicron Booster
« on: October 12, 2022, 04:50:25 pm »
Hey all -

I'm wondering if folks have gotten this, and if so, if you've felt any kind of increased w/d effects from it? I'm doing fairly well on my taper at this point, and not wanting to rock the boat ... but also not wanting to get COVID. (I got the first shots before I started the taper, and that's been a while ago now ... and I haven't had COVID yet, so don't have any immunity from that.)

Thoughts?

Thanks and sending healing wishes to you all today.

Just my 2 cents worth, but the vaccine won't actually stop you getting Covid. I personally wouldn't take the risk. Countries are stopping vaccinating people now under 50, or even 60 that aren't venerable. Due to the risk of adverse reaction vs benefit.

Of course, I don't know your situation. But I would recommend looking at the latest data, before making a decision

Dabgerous advice.

Because I think it's rubbish. You can still get Corona but you won't get as ill as you would without getting vaccinated. It could mean the difference between life or death for some people.

Personally I never notice anything from the Corona shots. No difference in symptoms. I still got Corona, but thanks to the vaccine I didn't notice much, and I even kept. On running 10k every day.

Don't worry so much.

It's not rubbish at all if you bothered to read. However I'm not here to argue. Also the fact that you're doing a slow taper and running 10k a day clearly shows you're are not particularly damaged. If you were, you may have a different opinion

I'm not personally attacking you, but it is rubbish and dangerous what you are saying, without any proof whatsoever.

I never said that you can't have setbacks from them  :)

I was saying that people need their vaccines, especially older/weaker people and that was all. You can still get Corona with a vaccination, but you won't get as ill.

Also, about the reported side effects of the vaccine in the news, those are very very very rare. The risks do no not outweigh the benefits.

Ofcourse, people on benzo's are very sensitive to everything, so I do understand worries. But you also don't want to die from Covid. I was afraid too that I would get a severe mental reaction or something. But I think if you're already weak from the benzo's, Corona without vaccination will strike so much harder than Corona with a vaccination. And you can get Corona very easy too, I was inside for months, and I still got it.

I do went a bit too hard in this discussion  :laugh: In Holland we have a lot of 'Wappies'. Conspiracy theorists who advice against vaccines without any proof. I thought 'oh no, not again.'

But just like [...], I really don't want to argue, I just don't want my words twisted, so hopefully it's clear now  :)
