Mask up and you'll need neither. As an anti-vaxxer, you're a lot more likely to cop a serious case if you get infected. Don't say I didn't warn you. I've had it twice - both times it was similar to flu, the first was much worse than the second. The shot doesn't stop you getting it, it just lessens the severity.
Masks do not stop viruses not even the N95 masks. Don't believe me? Take a puff of a cigarette and exhale with the mask on....you will see the smoke come out of the mask. Virus particles are smaller than smoke particles. So that mask is not stopping anything. Cleveland Clinic has a study that shows Covid risk increased with more boosters. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.12.17.22283625v5
I am sheltering in my basement, wearing two masks, spraying disinfectant everywhere, and eating nothing but organic, gluten free, vegan soup....That should protect me.
No I'm not ready to once again see America rise to the top of the Worlds covid related death charts. And those deaths won't be because of the shot they will be because of a lack of people not getting it and spreading false info about it. Cheers!
All those facts, getting in the way of their controlling ways. I know 1 person who died of Covid (70 yr old man) and 1 from the clot shot (65 yr old female with COPD and other factors who had already had and beat covid).
Have you noticed all the young people with heart issues now?
I've had my shots and alall boosters. I don't generally find myself in places where there are a lot of people in close proximity to one another and, since I'm now retired, I don't have to take public transportation. I keep a mask in my pocketbook in the event I feel I need one.

Hope it stays that way. They are recommending another booster. Again, if you get it ask the Doc about the D dimmer and test for abnormally low fibrinogen immediately afterwards. You already being on anti clot meds may be a help.

It is highly unlikely likely that any surge in Covid cases would result in shutdowns or mask mandates. Those were emergency measures to deal with a new virus for which there were no treatments and no immunity. The current variant is much more contagious, but also much less deadly. A vaccinated person can still get Covid, but it will usually be a much milder case and the drug Paxlovid can speed the recovery process. (I know this from personal experience).
I respect anyone's choice to forgo vaccination. Knowing that the blood clot issue was limited to those getting the Johnson & Johnson vaccine which is no longer available in the US, was a factor in my choice to be vaccinated. Out of 18 million people who got the J &J shot, 60 got blood clots and 9 of them died. Every vaccine has associated risks, but in this case I felt the odds of developing a blood clot from a vaccine that is no longer used were about the same as the odds of winning the lottery without buying a ticket. In the end, it's a personal choice.
There are more deaths than that from the shot and the AZ shot causes them as well. But it certainly would have been nice of people would have respected others personal choices about it while the gov, employers, medical community were forcing people to get the thing.
