Happy New Year one and all! I'd just signed in to ask a question - however as a long-time lurker I really must say @tobyjugg2is there REALLY any need to be quite so abrasive and supercilious in your posts - you seem very angry and rude? 

 

Everyone else on this thread seems to enjoy debating and discussing, whereas all your replies are goading and high-handed. I've no "dog in the fight" - I'm sure IRL you are a charming fellow, however here you just seem spoiling for a fight far above your paygrade?

 

PS/ for the record "sic" doesn't mean what you think it does! ;)

I've actually got Covid myself at the moment! Had it for about 8 days now. I've had the booster too (as I work in a healthcare setting). 
I know the plural of anecdote is not data - however for me, and all my compadrés who also have it and have had boosters (Moderna mostly) it is nothing more than an inconvenience - heavy cold vibes.

I have two friends who declined the vax (not rabid anti-vaxxers, just didn't trust the government - on the same line as that old quote from Reagan - "there's two things you never want to hear when you get a knock on your front door - 'I'm from the government; I'm here to help!' " Ha!

I respect their choices, however they are a sick as dogs right now, unable to walk from one room to t'other without breathlessness, etc.

Ideally we should live in a communal society where we look after each other, or at least not do things which deliberately harm others. But we don't. The level of selfishness where I live is unbelievable, but that's what you get when you force 100's of different cultures together in a small space with no common ground. Every "man" for himself! 

I wear a mask in enclosed public spaces now I know I'm infectious, as a simple human courtesy. However, I also think it's endemic now, so once I test negative I'll get on with it and cease.

 

(There ye go - hopefully a civilized answer with no need for ad hominems?)
