    There is virtually no downside to be as up to date with the COVID booster shots as you possibly can be. Long Covid is very real, and you carry that shit around like luggage, sapping your quality of life if not ruining it right away completely.

    I’ve had all the shots with no noticeable effects outside of a sore arm and better cellular reception. Less vaccinated friends have had to deal with repeated, sometimes severe, Covid infections that have had them in bed for days and feeling miserable for weeks.

    If what Moderna and Pfizer are saying about the efficacy of the new booster is true it will be well worth a sore arm to avoid a what my friends and acquaintances have been going through.

      Thanks for the laugh (better cellular reception)!

      I’ve had the 3-shot course plus 1 booster. Had mild covid in Janurary, and felt like I had another mild case a few weeks ago but tested negative. Sadly, my cell reception has remained unboosted
