Not at all.

No one that I know regrets it. Even Lindsey Graham said he was happy that he had his vaccine as he came down with Covid this week, but it was a very mild case.

I don’t.

If they don’t want the vaccine, they don’t seek out for it in the first place.

Yep. My BIL. Got ill from the first shot, deathly ill from the second. He regrets getting it entirely.

^I honestly knew you would say you knew someone that regretted it and practically died from it.

@chyna. I knew that as well strange. When the Don Father said at the start of the pandemic a vaccine was just weeks or a few short months away rep/cons said he would save us all now the vaccines are here they want nothing to do with them.

@SQUEEKY2 and @chyna Soooo….this question was asked not for honest answers but because you wanted an echo chamber. Got it.

No, we knew the biggest anti-vaxxer would have regrets.

@seawulf575 Was your BIL checked for C19 when he got ill?
Maybe he contracted the virus when he got the vaccine and getting the shot may have actually saved his life.

Or maybe, just maybe, it’s all made up bullshit.

^^ya never know^^

Amazing. None of you want honest discussion! It is amazing to me how narrow minded you are and how any thought outside the ones you are given is threatening to you.

@SQUEEKY2 As a matter of fact, he was. His daughter is immune-compromised so they are routinely checked. It was not C-19…it was the vaccines.

SQUEEKY2's avatar

Has he been sick since?^
Mrs Squeeky was ill for three days after her second shot but after that was fine and has never regretted it.

Just sounds like his brother-in-law didn’t get any medical advice, just had his opinion.

Immunocompromised people

The currently FDA-authorized COVID-19 vaccines are not live vaccines and therefore can be safely administered to immunocompromised people, including people with HIV infection or other immunocompromising conditions or people who take immunosuppressive medications or therapies. Although COVID-19 vaccine efficacy is unknown in these groups, immunocompromised people might be at increased risk for severe COVID-19, and the potential benefit of COVID-19 vaccination outweighs the uncertainties. However, data suggest immune response to COVID-19 vaccination might be reduced in some immunocompromised people including, but not limited to, people receiving chemotherapy for cancer, people with hematologic cancers such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia, people receiving stem cells or organ transplants, people receiving hemodialysis, and people using certain medications that might blunt the immune response to vaccination (e.g.,  mycophenolate, rituximab, azathioprine, anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies, Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors).

People who are immunocompromised should be counseled about the potential for reduced immune responses to COVID-19 vaccines and the need to continue to follow current prevention measures (including wearing a mask, staying 6 feet apart from others they don’t live with, and avoiding crowds and poorly ventilated indoor spaces) to protect themselves against COVID-19 until advised otherwise by their healthcare provider. Close contacts of immunocompromised people should also be encouraged to be vaccinated against COVID-19 to help protect these people.

The safety, efficacy, and benefit of additional doses of COVID-19 vaccines in immunocompromised people continue to be evaluated. Clinical guidance for this population will be updated pending regulatory allowance from FDA. The utility of serologic testing or cellular immune testing to assess immune response to vaccination is unknown. Serologic testing or cellular immune testing outside the context of research studies is not recommended at this time.

@Tropical_Willie Thank you Capt Obvious! Go back and read what I wrote and then realize how much time you just wasted.

I was not willing to get the jab at any point, including before its distribution.

I don’t know anyone personally who regrets getting it, but most of my friends (all healthy) have refused it.

I do know of a med student afraid of it being mandated for her, and some in the profession who fear for their jobs.

The nurse who does my home visits knows I had covid, refuse the jab, and don’t care about masks. She took hers off. It was good to start seeing her smiles. I’m very funny, so she smiles a lot.

No.

But my young cousin, who is currently very sick and testing positive, wishes she could have received her vaccine appointment just a week or two earlier. And my grandmother, who saw her, is very relieved that she at least is fully vaccinated.
