> Very scary. Are you going to guarantee that I'll be OK when I get my next shot? If I'm not, will you compensate me? No to both, it's your choice not to get it and if it's that serious go to a hospital for an exemption You already have a process in place for this stuff, if you aren't exempt there's no excuse Those side effects really suck though, hope you're OK now

So you're willing to admit exemptions. Who determines their legitimacy? I think I have a very rational risk/reward assessment that tells me the booster is not in my best interest. It's not so easy. Your strategy of coercion extends to doctors as well. Doctors that post about adverse affects are often banned for spreading misinformation. There's a lot of pressure on them not to write up notes for exemption. There's no guarantee that I will get a life-threatening adverse reaction from my next shot. Maybe I'm just be bedridden for a week. They have to make a judgement call under strong pressure. I'd rather wear masks, stay isolated, work remotely, whatever. I'm cognizant of society and responsible. But I don't have a choice short of quitting work, which I don't want to do. That's why forced vaccination is wrong.

    >A doctor, most countries already have an exemption system in place, use it mate I'm glad your personal experience is different (and much better) than mine. All I can say is that where I live and work, getting an exemption from a doctor is not so straightforward (even if it technically exists) and questioning anything about a vaccine/booster (including relating actual personal experience) is either not well received or just ignored. On social media, it's even attacked. Personally, it's very frustrating.

On social media, it's even attacked Then don't tell anyone you're exempt or get the vaccine, honestly I think you know what you're saying is just an excuse You're making a mountain out of a molehill here
