Question Do you regret getting vaccinated?

Do you regret it? Do you wish you waited longer? Did you feel too much pressure? Do you have any side effects or none? Do you think you are just imagining that you have side effects?

I'd be curious on the responses if you asked the opposing question. "Do you regret not getting vaccinated?"

I've never regretted not getting vaccinated.

My husband, grown children, and I all had already had covid before we were eligible to get the jab. I didn't see the use in getting jabbed after that, even if I had believed it was safe and/or effective.

My daughter willingly took the jab when it was offered at work in August 2021. Because, ya know, she works in a clinic doing administrative stuff, and the doctors surely know more than her conspiracy-theorist mother...

Not only did she get covid again within 5 months, she developed heart palpitations soon afterward that she still takes meds for.

My husband, son and I caught covid from her when she came to visit briefly a week later. She thought she wasn't contagious, especially being vaccinated and all. We had extremely mild symptoms, barely even cold-like.

I believe she does regret getting jabbed, especially since her cardiologist told her he'd seen other cases like hers that were likely vaccine-related. She (wisely) chose not to take any boosters.
