They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

I'm right at 6 months since my second shot, as of today.  I hadn't planned on getting the booster just yet, but we're traveling to New Mexico for Christmas so it might be a good time to go ahead with it.

I got it, had no impact on me this time.  I'm expecting to get another in 6-8 months.

Yes here in Florida they are very proactive and will let me know as soon as it’s available, at which time I will go right ahead and get it.

There is need one, legally, versus need one as being a good idea.

utee didn't seem to think it was a good idea a few weeks ago

Badge disagreed

I don't think I ever said it was a bad idea.  Just not really a necessity.

I'm obviously not overly worried about it and I'm certainly not rushing out to do it.  But if it's easy, I'll probably knock it out.

study in Israel suggest that fully vaccinated people were TWENTY SEVEN times more likely to get an symptomatic covid infection than an an unvaccinated person who had already caught covid and recovered, suggesting that natural immunity is much stronger and longer lasting than vaccine-induced immunity.

Convenient
Cheap
Tasty (not GOOD, but checks the salt box, the sugar box, etc. in our brains)
Plentiful

All the rich food-producers hire all the best lobbyists to keep the status quo.  Do not be fooled - the fact that Americans eat garbage food is directly due to wealthy companies wanting to stay wealthy. 
Sadly, this is true. Big food is big business- and they spend billions lobbying in DC every year to maintain status quo.

In Detroit, where only 35% of eligible residents were fully vaccinated, the school district said it would switch to online learning on Fridays in December because of rising COVID-19 cases, a need to clean buildings and a timeout for “mental health relief.” One high school has changed to all online learning until Nov. 29.
The population of Detroit is literally like 90% black, if not higher.

This gets to another point- media seems to love to imply and push a false narrative that it's all white trash redneck Trump QAnon people who are not getting the vaccines- therefore they should be ostracized, ridiculed, even not allowed to participate in society- but it's the minority population that are not getting the vaccines in huge numbers.

NYC has put in place a vaccine "passport" in order to go into restaurants, bars, gyms- and I believe only 20 some percent of the black population in New York City has been vaccinated.

Just another case of media distorting reality that I find both astonishing and frightening.

Yeah, we've seen that study. 

Here's what we know:

  • Natural immunity is better than vaccine-derived immunity.
  • Vaccine-derived immunity is significant at reducing hospitalizations/deaths, but less effective and for shorter duration at preventing infection.
  • Natural immunity followed by vaccination appears to be better than either alone.

But that leaves a case that isn't clear... Is the immunity conferred by being vaccinated and then experiencing a COVID infection post-vaccination as strong and/or durable as that of natural immunity due to infection prior to being vaccinated? 

A booster might give more protection against infection, but for what duration and given that the vaccine seems to be pretty durable at reducing hospitalization/death rates, would it be smarter to simply take my chances and try to get more durable immunity now that I'm vaccinated, by exposure in the wild? 

I don't know... I'll probably end up getting the booster, but I wish we knew more about the relative immunity conferred by natural infection when already vaccinated.
