I got both Maderna shots, after which I had a cough and diminished lung capacity for three months, so I'm less than tickled with the idea of getting a booster.
When one factors in the rush in producing the vaccine, the same media and politicians telling us to get vaccinated continue to lie to us about COVID and most everything else, that the producers of the vaccine have granted themselves immunity from liability, and mask mandates are being enforced politically and not scientifically, reluctance to getting vaccinated becomes much more understandable aside from those ever-present conspiracy spreaders.
My attempt was to demonstrate that there are any number of reasons why someone might not want to get vaccinated in the current climate, and that such objections cannot be simply dismissed as irrational. Conspiracies do indeed happen, while others are clearly, to me at least, bullshit
I have emphysema and once had a collapsed lung. In 2010, was in hospital 8 days from Swine, nearly killed me. Took Moderna and was fine -- just kinda icky for a couple of days. I also take 2x 5K Vit D a day and eat veggie diet, big on probiotics. Been a on an immune boosting diet long time. ALways the issues with vaccines it you can get contaminated before your last jab or before your first. Always a risk. We knew Delta was a game changer. My childhood friend's dad is 95. Insisted on going to restaurants and got a breakthru case of covid. Though fever and other issues, never got to his lungs. Everyone getting breakthrough I know are coming through fine.
Being a vaccine and pharma critical person, I had had little issue with people holding off on the vaccine. it is the anti mask, anti vax, pro wild natural immunity super spreaders who are openly calling for rapid spread of covid. We have them on our community boards, they are very clear about their intent and purpose.
In that vein it's instructive that our own government is helping to spread COVID by preventing generic vaccine production to punish our "enemies" Iran and Venezuela. Sick and ghoulish.

Just my two cents.
Conspiracies happen.

I do realize that not all people holding off on vaccines are of the school I just mentioned, and they are playing safe by all other rules.
