I chose not to get the shot(s). Why? Because they are not really a 'vaccine'. They are just like the annual flu shot, they don't prevent you from getting the disease, they just lessen the effects. A true vaccine prevents you from getting the disease you are being innoculated against, like polio & smallpox. I don't get the annual flu shot either, I quit taking those in 1993, just before I retired from the Marines. We had to get the flu shot annually, and every year, I got sick with the flu. Since I've quit getting the shot, I've had the flu twice in 20+ years.


BTW, for the record, I did have the CCP disease in November. It was like have a bad case of the flu.
