That’s good then Buster. Still waiting for my fourth. Will probably have it with the flu jab.

Well they have kept me safe so in my opinion they have, nothing wrong with a booster

I’ll be having mine when offered even though I’ve had COVID. Doesn’t seem to have stopped people getting it a second or third time.

True.
One of my staff was triple vaccinated and ended up in hospital with covid.
I, on the other hand, was forced to get one shot, against my will, and some time latter caught covid. I spent one day in bed. And probably didn't need to. :oops:
A medical person I spoke to recently about that admitted that the vaccinations work better for some people than others, and the virus affects some people more than others.
He said at this point if you feel better getting another jab, get another jab. It won't stop you catching it, but you may feel more in control for doing something proactive.
So there you go. If you think it's a good idea, do it. :D

I was thinking, i have contact with about 300 people per day, 5 days a week. Over two years that's about 150 thousand people. Simple fact, some of them had covid when they entered the business. I was taking money off them and standing within a metre of them. And yet, as I say, I had one vaccination and only became unwell briefly, once.
I know people have become very sick and died of it, but many, many people haven't.
Because I eat well and keep fairly fit and active, my immune system seems to work. I shake off colds and things. Having emphysema means my breathing is getting bad, but
lung disease is not the same as an infection. I simply don't worry about it.
Same as I don't worry about covid. I reckon if it was going to kill me, it would have killed me.

That is the problem Murray, I don't have an immune system so I get shit others don't
