No.
Having it can lead to long term damage (lungs, heart, etc.) even if you survive and mostly recover.
Early on they were able to show that people who got the 2 dose initial vaccine showed protection longer than those that were sick with COVID. Again, without the risk of long term organ/system damage.
Someone leaves me out of a group chat due to the color of my text bubble, I doubt there was any benefit to being included in the conversation anyway.
Pretty sure this is saved from an attachment from a forwarded email of a scan of a photo copy of a mimeograph.
"Hipsters and coffee snobs" aren't the target audience and the vast majority have probably never tried it. It's a flex for rich people that have more money than sense.
I work in hospice and see a variety of conditions. Some people in their 60's with significant mobility issues that are chronically exhausted, but then there's the patients in their 90's who just recently started cutting back on social events and activities due to injury/illness.
Seeing these differences was why I started roller skating (again) at 49 and increased other activities to keep my ass moving and challenge my coordination and balance. I want to get everything I can out of this life.
American here - it could be different in other states, but as a parent every year at the beginning of the school year I had to sign a specific form during registration stating whether or not I would permit my child's photo be taken/published. Yes, it's going to be a nightmare to track, but the school shouldn't want the headache of the fall out for not pulling a photo.
I was raised with a couple different approaches to Christianity, first the boring going to church every Sunday sitting between my parents and listening to the droning of the pastor, then in my teens introduced to the "exciting" world of evangelicalism. Long story short, there's so many interpretations and means which people have used the Bible to control and abuse, I can't support many of the "Christians" or their churches based off of their messages and their actions.
Instead I just live my life best I can with the foundational messages and what I think God really wants of me - to be in service, love, and support others to the best of my ability. I'm a massage therapist that works in hospice. I make a modest living bringing comfort and kindness to others. I also volunteer at a food bank every month. My Jewish boyfriend isn't religious, but culturally follows many Jewish traditions. Which oddly enough makes his behaviors and lifestyle line up much closer to my own values than any other "Christian" man I've dated in my 51 years.
While there may be those who feel called to drop everything and travel to spread the word - you're right, economically it wouldn't fly. If I did that, ultimately my welfare would be reliant on creating a burden for others. As long as I can continue to provide for myself, I can use any additional resources and time I have to help and support others.

17 years ago on a Saturday night, just before bedtime, my 4yo son was being a dufus and managed to break his collarbone. Before we knew it was broken (but knew something was obviously wrong) I took him to the emergency room. We were stuck waiting about 6 hours to be seen. The nurse that triaged us was extremely apologetic and literally stated "I'm so sorry you've had to wait so long, we're stuck having to see the drunken scraped knees first just because they came in an ambulance."
I'm assuming that if my son were bleeding out he would be seen faster, but I've assumed that in non-life threatening situations that ambulances receive priority.
Ok, anatomical horror story aside - what kind of creepy ass fuck knuckle "smirked deviously" at a virgin while deciding what to "do to her." Who is this written for?
I'll take the time to look at these after work, but I wanted to briefly chime in.
Co-morbidities or not, we have been aware since the beginning (well before the vaccines were available) that some people continued to have lingering symptoms and suffered other types of damage due to having contracted the virus. For example - an athletic coworker in her early 40s contracted it August 2020, and to this day continues to have heart problems. I work in hospice, and while the numbers are lower than they were over the last few years, we still regularly get patients entering hospice due to damage from COVID.
I have yet to come across a patient who needed hospice services due to a vaccine.
If I'm going to take a "risk" on anything, it'll be the vaccine.
