unfortunately

constant anxiety from either catching covid or taking vaccines that i’m not fully comfortable with and will need to keep taking until they figure it out

CDC and FDA came out within the past hour and said they won't be needed just yet. Its good theyre doing it tho

"People who are fully vaccinated are protected from severe disease and death, including from the variants currently circulating in the country such as Delta," the FDA and CDC said.
"Americans who have been fully vaccinated do not need a booster shot at this time. FDA, CDC, and the National Institutes of Health are engaged in a science-based, rigorous process to consider whether or when a booster might be necessary," they added.

Yeah you can still "get it" but for now we're protected from severe effects

No, the context is that countries which focussed on vaccinating are doing way better with the delta variant than countries which didnt focus on vaccinating.

The vaccines are doing their job well and it shows in the numbers

They might not be perfect but they are better than nothing.

If everyone was vaccinated now there would be less deaths. Undeniable.

yeah maybe i’m just pessimistic but i feel like they are saying that so people don’t lose confidence in the vaccine and continue to get it (understandably so)

can confirm.

if ur in the US just schedule an appointment rn and send it, It's seriously not a big deal. I personally didn't have any reaction at all, same with many of my friends

yeah i do agree they are better then nothing, and people definitely still need to take them to end this thing

i just don’t like the way some media outlets are portraying people who are hesitant

like yeah there are some dumb anti vaxers who think the government is chipping us, but there are also people who are hesitant exactly because of stories like this

it just seems like they don’t have it fully figured out yet (which is not surprising, considering this is a new disease), and it doesn’t make me any more confident in it

yeah i was actually really researching it this past week because i was ready to just go and get it and get it done with, but then i casually check cnn as i usually do most nights and see this, it’s like a rollercoaster of emotions with this for me (i do have diagnosed health anxiety tho so i know that’s why i’m in the minority with this stuff)

If you don’t wanna take it, don’t. As long as you keep your distance or get tested beforehand.

Streets are saying that this'll be like the new flu shot

U barely get sick lol

yeah i do, i work from home and i didn’t even like crowded spaces before the pandemic so it’s not like i’m out here wyling anyway.

basically just chill at home or go on hikes lol

you got other illness?

i just walk out in the open

i knew who the op was before even clicking that's crazy

lol @ thinking someone who doesnt want the flu shot is anti vax
i say this and im vaxxed up

you didnt get your flu shot this year pfttttttttttttttttt youre anti vax, you have all of you vaccines from when youre a kid but dont have a vaccine for somethign with a 99.7 survival rate, omg ur anti vax

Who is talking about the flu shot?

Are we still comparing COVID with the flu in July 2021?

thats what covid is lol were gunna have to get yearly boosters for the flu

lmao people sacred of covid

It's easy to be scared if you pick out the 0.1% of issues. Try to find a place that does it in a comfortable environment and go for it man
