Haven't died yet.

Putting on flame retardant suit now to prepare for incoming flames

Don't know if it's the right decision for anyone else, but as a 50yo with underlying conditions think it's right for me.

Good for you! Glad that makes you happy and I'm glad you were able to make the best choice.for yourself.

Just don't force the shots on anyone else.

I know! That's the worst thing about the mandate, it's making people resist something that's probably good for them, because human nature. I bet MORE people would get vaxxed if it were a free choice.

If I were 25 and in perfect health I probably wouldn't go out of my way to get vaxxed and probably also wouldn't object if my doctor gave it to me incidentally while I was getting a checkup. But when I was 25 I never went to get checkups anyway because I was perfectly healthy back then :)

That's nice.
I'm 65 with Emphysema and immune system problems. I don't think the mandated shots are the right choice for me. Don't think they are the right choice for my kids or grandkids, either.
I sincerely hope you do not succumb to ADE.

Out of curiosity...

I'm not criticizing your choice, but assuming the boosters are recommended, hypothetically every 6 months to a year, will you continue getting boosters indefinitely?

If a place of business requires a "vaccine passport" in order to do business will you show your passport and participate?

I think that the people who wanted to take the shots have already done so. The only ones who seem to be getting them now are the ones who are afraid of getting canned from their jobs. That's the problem with mandates - it eliminates the possibility of making a responsible, well-reasoned choice for ones self.

I don't think anyone knows. There are other vaccines that are a three dose cycle to get lifetime immunity, that's how the Hepatitis vaccine works, 2nd dose at 2wk then 3rd at 6m.

Maybe COVID will be like that.

Also at some point presumably I will get COVID and have a mild case thanks to the vaccine, then have vac+recovered immunity.

But no one really knows.

Available to over 65 or with underlying conditions, in either case no earlier than 180 days after 2nd dose. I'm in the underlying conditions category.

You didn't answer either question directly.

But I think I know what the answers are.

My expectation is that this isn't a perpetual six month thing. I expect it's either three doses build long term immunity as with the Hepatitis vaccine, or eventually everyone gets COVID and gets longterm immunity that way. Maybe it becomes an annual shot like the flu--I'm ok with that.

Also there will in time be better treatments for COVID. Maybe Ivermectin will turn out to be the miracle drug its boosters claim it to be, maybe the Merck drug will, or if not something else will be developed. In that respect buying a couple of years time means getting access to better treatment.

But there's no good answer because no one really knows, COVID hasn't been around long enough for anyone to have any good idea what's going to be the end game.

ETA: I'm explaining what I think in the context of why I got the vaccine and what I expect in the future, not here to persuade anyone else that they should see it the same way

Uh, no. That's actually not among the list of about 25-30 reasons I haven't obtained the experimental, lightly studied, gene therapies manufactured by companies with abysmal product safety records, and that also contain chemotherapeutic and radiologic components. LMAO!!

I do have to ask, and it's in all sincerity, if the first two obviously did not work that well, what was the processing involved of deciding to get a third in under 6-8 months?

ETA - I just read one of your prior posts. You seem to be operating under the belief that the gene therapies provide sterilizing immunity, which means, you get the shots, you get the antibodies, you don't get covid.  You equated them to the Hep B series, which also produce sterilizing immunity.  You have an apples to oranges comparison going on. Just like the polio vax...get the shot, don't get polio.  Take the covid gene therapies, and not only do you still get covid, but you transmit it to others as well.
