5. Have you ever tested positive for Covid? What month/year?

1. Yes
2. 11/23/21 - third shot (all Pfizer)
3. Yes - Maybe another booster, but my guess is this will be yearly and rolled into a flu vaccine combo eventually and will be part of the endemic treatment at that time.
4. My guess is a year (so 12 months)
5. No

5. Tested? No. I was laid up in bed for two weeks in November 2020 with what was certainly covid. I didn't need a test to tell me I was sick. I felt shitty last month, but not shitty enough to do anything about.

I had a flu shot and a hep B shot some years ago. I would be interested if a hep C shot is developed, but that looks unlikely with the probable fate of the vaccine industry.

Looks like quite a few of us have reached, or are close to reaching the point where the booster shot has lost its effectiveness. Efficacy wanes 5 to 6 months after the booster. Also looks like some of us are not planning to get jabbed again anytime soon if ever.

 

[LukSkyFokker]

You didn't ask about boosters and only a couple of people mentioned them. Just stop.

If you have had a second shot, efficacy lasts about 5 to 6 months. If you had a third shot, aka booster, efficacy lasts about 5 to 6 months. You will soon be no more protected than those unvaccinated you scorn. You might already be there. Cheers.

Natural immunity efficacy duration isn't much different.

Regarding protection against infection that may be so, but protection against severe illness remains solid much longer, especially after a booster. Sure, it's never 100% either.

I've seen the "natural immunity is better or longer lasting than vaccine immunity" argument made, and there just isn't a lot of evidence for it. On the other hand, there is some evidence that having Covid and getting the vaccine could be better than vaccines alone, but of course this requires you to get the disease first, and even "mild" cases can be pretty unpleasant.

There are studies which have shown natural is better. But there are studies which have shown for omicron, it's not as much as other strains.. All studies ive seen on both, show that it is remarkedly better than just one or the other.

I'm surprised at the number of boosted (3) here...figured it'd be all or nothing.

I have had a second booster, but I am elderly and have several life-threatening conditions, so catching a serious case of Covid could easily finish me off.

But I if catch Covid and die, it will be WITH Covid, not because of Covid.

Do you ever wonder why you never got Polio, measles, mumps, etc? It's because you were vaccinated. What would your thoughts be of parents who didn't vaccinate their children and they got Polio?

I've had the booster; that may have been ambiguous in my earlier post. I got the first two Pfizer shots last spring.

The efficacy wanes, but it doesn't disappear. Someone who never got the booster is still better off than someone who was never vaccinated at all.

There are vaccines for polio. Once upon a time not long ago, we thought (hoped) we had vaccines for Covid. We now know those “vaccines” act more like therapeutics. They reduce severity of illness (mostly for pre-omicron variants), but are pretty useless at preventing transmission.

Understood. This has always been a virus that is most lethal to the elderly and others who are immunologically vulnerable. Given your situation, your choice seems perfectly reasonable to me.
