I actually know several people who were on the fence, not necessarily anti vax just holding out to see if there were any complications from the vaccine, that have gotten it since the Delta Variant has started raging. I along with my wife and 3 daughters are 5 of them.
OSU now requires all Students/Staff to be Vaxxed!

Lol @ the "it's only republicans who don't get vaxed!" Bit.
By all means, go to your nearest minority ghetto and tell them to get vaxxed.. I'll wait to hear how it turns out.

I have never taken a flu shot and can count on one hand how many times I have had the flu. Knock on wood, I rarely get sick. My "sickness" is always in the form of allergies. Sometimes it knocks me on my *** but most times it doesn't.
What if they already had covid and are already sitting with better immunity that the vax? One shot may benefit a tiny bit, 2nd would do nothing…but no shot for them is statistically better than 2 shots for someone who hasn’t had C19….
Israel with a pretty clear study out today. If this is about science and immunity, those who could prove prior infection/ antibodies would be included in any calculation.
I used to never get the flu shot. I got the flu bad one time, out of work for like two weeks and had to go to the ER in the middle of the night. Have gotten it ever since. **** ever going thru that again (and the expense), and getting the shot will help reduce my chances some. Doesn’t cost anything so seems like a no brained to me. Of course my current job requires it now anyways.
I’d rather take my chances with two shots than getting COVID. Even mild cases are showing signs of suffering long term health complications.
It’s not about taking chances from shots vs natural immunity. It’s about the necessity of shots after covid…answer, not really necessary and definitely not enough benefit to mandate. Especially considering adverse reactions to the prior infected are higher than Sars2 naive.
But immunity wanes off. It doesn't last forever, rather you had COVID or only got the vaccine.
How do you know that? How do you know that natural immunity doesn't last forever, for the vast majority of people? You are wildly speculating, in the hopes that your demonic "new normal" never goes away.
Have you ever gotten tested to see if when your allergies "knock you on your ***" whether you actually have the flu?
Yes. And your point is? Recently had my complete blood panel. Got tested for antibodies. Didn't have any.
I am not wildly speculating. There have been numerous studies that have determined natural immunity wears off. The antibodies in a person's system don't last forever. Studies have shown that the antibodies in COVID patients generally begin to wane after 6-12 months.
Your wildly speculating by trying to claim the antibodies last forever.

so, when your allergies knocked you on your ***, you took a flu test? I'm calling bs. You assumed it was allergies, and it may have been, but your recent blood panel has no bearing on whether you had the flu before.
Checks for flu. No flu so deemed allergies which usually always is with me. The swab confirms it, but I haven't had to do that for a few years now since I started taking the zyrtec, which I hate doing. I don't like taking pills but I do what I have to to control the allergies best I can.
I told you about my blood panel, which I do yearly, because you were slyly trying catch me in an "ah ha!" moment where you could somehow show me how morally superior you are to me. Nice try. Like I said, I rarely get sick. I'm not a dirty bastard. I'm no Seinfeld level of germ freak, but I have always been a clean person. Now what?
Since when is a blood panel used to test for the flu? NEver heard of that before, but I've also just always been tested with the swab.
Comprehension doesn't seem to be your strong suit. Just pointing out I get health checks on the regular. Nowhere did I ever say a blood panel checks for the flu.
You were trying draw me into the argument of how I can possibly be an asymptomatic spreader. My panel confirmed that I'm not. All I was saying.

The precedent was set a long time ago when they made everyone take the smallpox shot. Of course that was a long time ago right after WWII when people were used to sacrificing for the common good.
Sorry, should have explained I was talking about the laughing sign being put by the last like, making it look like the post was a joke
demonic "new normal", wow, sounds impressive. Care to explain exactly what it means?
I didn't say that anything lasts forever- I asked you how you can be so certain that it doesn't. It is uncertain exactly how long natural immunity lasts but the extreme rarity of second infections, 18 months into the pandemic (check the recent data from Israel studies), suggests that it typically last longer than "6 to 12 months". Moreover, natural immunity is by no means based solely on antibodies.
