Are you willing to get the Covid vaccine when offered? (4 Viewers)

Got my Pfizer booster on December 23rd, took my wife to lunch, worked out later, showered, and went to bed feeling like a million bucks. Then, an hour later, I woke up feeling like I had been used as a piñata by the young Mike Tyson, Andre the Giant, and Barry Bonds. I think I died on the 24th or something like that, but then I woke up on Christmas morning feeling like a million bucks again. I don’t care what anyone says, I am a freaking Avenger.

Folks, watch out for Captain Dorkface!

I was thinking more like The JuJubug, but I guess Captain Dorkface could work.

An unvaccinated priest who came to believe that the COVID-19 pandemic was some kind of hoax or setup has been admitted to an ICU with the disease.

Juan Manuel Fernández Iglesias, 52, is a parish priest from Galicia—an autonomous region in the northwest of Spain—who covers the municipalities of Cerdedo-Cotobade, Ponte Caldelas and A Lama, local media outlet La Voz de Galicia reported.

At the start of the pandemic, Iglesias, who is also a professor of religion at a school in A Lama, strictly adhered to coronavirus restrictions, according to parishioners.

During this period, the priest was careful not to allow people to congregate too closely in his churches, and ensured that a safe distance was maintained between worshippers.

But according to some parishioners, Iglesias began to doubt the existence of the virus and developed concerns regarding other issues related to the pandemic, such as the rollout of mass vaccinations, La Voz de Galicia reported. In the end, the priest decided not to get vaccinated.

Recently, the priest caught the SARS‑CoV‑2 virus, which causes COVID-19, and his condition worsened to the point where he was admitted to a local hospital and transferred to the ICU, where he remains..............

I feel bad for him. It’s obvious mental illness impacted his decision making. Then again, he has the power to influence so many others so maybe it’s better for society if he deep throats a ventilator for a while.

Well, i decided to drop out of the Novavax trial and go ahead and get a moderna booster. Hopefully i'm not stuck in some no man's land with regard to my vaccination status (since novavax still hasn't been approved here), but i didn't want to wait a few more weeks for a novavax booster with omicron going how it is.

Anyone else start to get a little paranoid when someone nearby starts coughing?
I was eating lunch somewhere and two old guys were about 8 feet away at another table. One kept coughing every 30 seconds it seemed. This kept on until they left about 20 minutes later. I kept thinking to myself: "am I far enough away to avoid getting hit with that?"

Yes. I’m not eating indoors in restaurants at this point (again).

Yes. My 18 year old who lives on her own and is out "living life to the fullest" came over for dinner a little while ago and was coughing and sneezing quite a bit. She mentioned she also has a sore throat. Claims it is allergies, but you just can't be too sure these days.

I’m over it. I’m vaccinated. I use precautions to the best of my ability. But aside from that…what happens will happen. But there was a guy who decided to blow his nose next to me in an empty waiting room…pissed me off a little. Wouldn’t say I was afraid or paranoid though.

Lol we have to be vaccinated or we lose our jobs. >30% of physicians will not vaccinate their children. I love sticking my nose up to antivaxers as much as the next guy…but I do it with better rationale.

Saw this on my daughters Fb page.

Although extreme, one could, successfully, argue that his method is superior to a vaccine in terms of covid prevention. If it weren't for the interlopers, he would have been able to demonstrate it's effectiveness.

I haven’t seen anything about doctors only getting the shot because they had to

Months ago I did read that doctors were at well over 90% vaxxed and nurses were barely over 50%

Definitely never heard that 30% number for children of doctors

same here. The ones I've spoke to personally got the shot because they believed in the effectiveness and science
behind it. I can't speak for other hospitals,but the one my daughter works at only had 2 nurses who refused it. My
daughter worked the covid floor when Delta was raging. She told me she was reminded every shift why you should
get vaccinated. Losing her job for refusal never crossed her mind.

Physicians overwhelmingly support vaccination in adults. I believe that 90-95% planned to get vaccinated before it was available. But yes…we have to get vaccinated or lose our job. How many would have ultimately received the vaccine if we weren’t forced to do it…probably 90-95%.

The 30% was based on a large medscape poll amongst physicians. I think that number is pretty accurate. The reason you haven’t heard about the poll is because you’re not a physician and it’s very difficult to get access to Medscape if you’re not.
