Just get the shot. It's really not that big of a burden, especially considering how bad covid itself can be for yourself or other people

i did and got my booster, and like 6 months later a mild case of covid. just being honest that my experience with the vaccine was very poor and i'm not being dramatic about it, so i'm really not looking forward to being basically guaranteed to feel like crap every few months.

It's 3-4 days of kinda feeling icky every 6 months (max, currently, until they can just mix it with the annual flu shot) to protect yourself and the people around you 

I mean, do what you want, I'm not debating it and I don't really care anymore, but the choice is painfully obvious to me and I have a reaction to the shot as well.

not sure why you're treating me like im an anti vaxxer? i literally got mine as soon as i was eligible, both times. also again im not being dramatic but it was worse than 'kinda icky' and like i said i had longer side effects that have been documented and backed up by real studies, so it's not just in my head. which is why i'm slightly hesitant. i'm glad your decision is easier, honestly.
