Do I want to roll the dice on taking constant boosters from a vaccine that caused me nasty side effects? For a disease that I have a .0007% chance of dying from and most likely getting mild cold symptoms?(probably even less since I'm not obese or morbidly ill already). Give me a percentage on how many people have had "long-term" loss of smell and taste.

What age and what sex? This idea that there's no risk to healthy individuals taking the vaccine is pure bullshit. Besides it's typically the unhealthy that need vaccination for this disease.

I'm fascinated by this weird trend towards authoritarianism when someone else not getting vaccinated is zero threat to you. The only logical explanation for this is perhaps fear of hospital burden but right now there's still plenty of room https://protect-public.hhs.gov/pages/hospital-utilization https://protect-public.hhs.gov/pages/hospital-utilization. However, if you believe this is an issue I would ask why the hospitals keep filling up when our high risk population almost 90% vaccinated....
