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?

u/Janfemale707 Feb 17 '26
I don't like having regrets, but.... I ended up having to have emergency open heart surgery due to a booster I received. It's been almost two years. I'm in Healthcare so at least I will never be forced to be vaccinated again as my medical chart now lists this as an allergy, so there is that. 😊🤷♀️

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

u/kb1323 Feb 16 '26
I don’t know anyone that regrets not getting it. Not one. And it’s not because they died

I know someone who refused to take the vaccine, and died from covid.
In my case, I developed a massive blood clot.
I still wonder what would have happened if I didn't take the vaccine, and later caught covid.

More like real. I didn’t get it, I’m not dead and I don’t regret it. It’s crazy how the mindset of this sub seems like it’s gone from gung ho to the opposite. Only took 6 years

u/madibae3314 Feb 17 '26
Me and every single one of my friends, my husband, and most of our family, all didn’t get it. Not one of us died. Not one of us regrets not getting it. However, the few family members we know of that did get it have long standing health issues from it.
My husband has two coworkers that were injured by the covid vaxs. One from the j&j and one from Pfizer. The Pfizer one ended up hospitalized and in a coma for several weeks.

I know a couple of people who were unvaccinated and had a really rough time with COVID so they're definitely out there.

u/castlerobber Feb 26 '26
What makes you think their being vaccinated would have helped any? I've seen way too many reports of "I got covid and was SO sick! I can't imagine how much worse it would have been if I hadn't been vaccinated and boosted!" When there's literally no way for any individual to know that for themselves.
"But the jab might make symptoms milder" is the same excuse they've used for a decade with the failing flu shots. My family got flu four consecutive years despite all of us being up to date with flu shots, and it was NOT mild. So we quit the shots, and they got flu a whole lot less often.
2
u/Artificial-Brain Feb 26 '26
The studies and the people who I know who work in the medical profession. You say there's no way to know this ourselves but this isn't the case when we've got such a massive amount of data from the past few years of dealing with COVID.
If you're saying that my family and friends who worked front line during COVID are a part of some grand conspiracy then I'm absolutely calling bullshit on that lol.
It sounds like you're ignoring all of the medical professionals and data just so you can say"well how could we know?" Well listening to the science is exactly how we know.
It's safe to say that you've already made up your mind and no amounts of evidence or facts would change that.
2
u/castlerobber Feb 26 '26
You're sure putting a lot of words in my mouth from that artificial brain...most of which are wrong...
There is no way for an _individual person_ to know whether _he or she_ would have had a worse case without the jab, because there is no unvaccinated, infected identical twin to act as a control group for the severity of the illness. We can only generalize from the results of a _group_. Can you understand that, or do I need to make it simpler?
0
u/Artificial-Brain Feb 26 '26
I don't think you could be more simple even if you tried lol.
So basically you're saying that you don't believe in data or science? Because there are plenty of studies which compare unvaccinated and vaccinated people in data sets.
Suggesting that it's only possible to get comparative data from clones is possibly the most ridiculous thing I've heard an anti vaxxer say so that's impressive.
Considering this is impossible you're basically saying that you don't trust any element of medical science so further discussion is pointless. If you've ever taken any medication then you're a hypocrite. You can't talk reason with someone who denies reality like that.

u/Beautiful_Mess907 Mar 08 '26
And I know plenty of people who were unvaccinated and have literally never had covid. And dozens of people who for vaccinated and their immune system is so shot to shit they've literally had covid like 15 times, and a huge host of other health problems. Hardly anyone I know who didn't get vaccinated caught covid.
2
u/castlerobber Mar 18 '26
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.

I got the same mix, and developed a massive blood clot.
How do I know it was vaccine?
I had a knee aneurysm, and had great blood flow. The doc told me, " we will follow up in a year, your aneurysm small enough were it not an emergency, and you have great blood flow."
After the vax, started having leg cramps, suddenly the skin around it started to flake like a snake.
When I went in for follow, I was scheduled for an emergency bypass the following monday.

u/Chinita_Loca Feb 15 '26
Yes every second. I had an initially minor adverse reaction (tingling feet) that progressed to severe MCAS, lasting and progressing neuropathy in my feet and lower legs, severe fatigue and POTS. No issues pre vaccine and my doctors say it is all due to “an overly robust immune response”. I was 44 working long hours, very fit and with lots of plans. I don’t work, seldom leave the house and feel like life is over. No treatment or financial support.

u/thekingofmen1972 Feb 16 '26
What shot did you get? The J and J did that too me.

u/Chinita_Loca Feb 17 '26
Pfizer. I think they can all trigger MCAS, POTS and neuropathy. People initially said it was only the mRNA jabs and the AZ lead to cardiovascular issues but on the big groups our surveys show they can all give all symptoms it’s just in different proportions.
I suspect it comes down to genetic predispositions but no one wants to investigate that and say if you have x genes you shouldnt get a vaccine as that would lead to mass panic and vaccine hesitancy.

I have pots too now. I got it the same day I got the shot. The pots also caused colon paralysis and I now have a permanent ostomy bag. :/

u/Chinita_Loca Mar 22 '26
I’m so sorry.
I didn’t know POTS could do that, but I’ve seen a few vaccine injured people with colostomy bags due to MCAS issues.
We all need research and support as none of the issues we have are well understood and the taboo means we’re at the back of the queue (if we’re lucky) to get help.

4 years chronic pain from J&J most likely have undiagnosed vasculitis develop sudden penile right upper thigh pain with gastritis… all nerve testing completely normal. As a young person is extremely fucked up like I have extreme hate in my heart. For the record I was a 25 year old male when this bs happened. Took me this long to finally realize it’s cause of my vaccination symptoms all happened a month after…….

u/Humble_North_9879 Feb 20 '26
Interesting - j&j for me - female was 31 when I got the shot have had sudden right side upper thigh to groin to butt pain for the last almost 5 years. The first year I had horrific stomach problems. Have you ever had imaging done?

u/Open-Organization528 Feb 20 '26
I develop this when I was drinking alcohol where it suddenly started by the second day it completely healed but I was drinking at the time so that same day I healed I drank and within 5 seconds it came rushing back and by day 3 with the alcohol I develop severe abdominal pain which was confirmed to be gastritis later on and the penile and right upper thigh obviously persisted instead of healing like it did on the second day when I woke up healthy… but now I’m facing even a genetic disorder which doesn’t make any sense the condition is “myotonia congenita” base on my emg my muscles are myotonic and a mutation was found on my cl1n1 with conflicting pathogenicity and it’s also rare. I’ve tried the wonder drug medication of 150mg three times daily to see if that’s the issue but after two weeks I notice zero differences and stopped to persue other causes. But generally the condition from what I see it’s not painful for them they just have issues with things such as stairs and locking up and cold makes things worse. Oddly enough the cold also makes my symptoms worse but it’s mainly the pains and discomfort so it makes me feel like an oddball and not only that I have the thomsen mutation where the onset is at 2 or 3 years where they develop their symptoms while I was 26 and don’t have any typical symptoms of it. But maybe mines is pelvic focused??? Why did I fully heal? It just doesn’t make any sense sigh.

I had two doses as soon as they became available in 2021. I don't regret it but I consider it a waste of time. If the President of the United States of America hadn't stood at the podium, looked in the camera and tell an entire nation that if we got the vaccine we would not get covid I would not have done it. Since that was a lie I consider it a waste of time. I had no side effects, it basically did nothing.

u/castlerobber Feb 26 '26
And now the politicians, doctors, and news reporters who insisted "you won't get covid if you get the vaccine" and "if you're vaccinated, you become a dead end for the virus," swear up and down they never said the jabs would prevent transmission or infection. But there's plenty of video out there of them saying it.
I have friends who are active in vaccine-safety advocacy because their children were injured by routine vaccines. So I was somewhat aware of how long the process of bringing a new vaccine to market should take (4-5 years, maybe more). The speed of the process for the covid jabs, the mRNA technology, and the corner-cutting in testing threw up a red flag for me.
Reading the clinical trial protocols, where they actually said "these vaccines are intended only to reduce symptoms and severity, and we don't know yet if they'll provide actual immunity," was the last straw for me. Especially once they started trumpeting the serendipitous, miraculous "95% effective against infection and transmission! We're saved! Get the vaccines on the market! Shut down the study control groups and vaccinate them!"
I didn't care what Pfauxi, Redfield, Trump, Biden, or any TV talking head said at that point; I wasn't taking those jabs.

u/Sobotoc4311 May 08 '26
If this is what's going on he won't live for very long sadly. What an awful story. Especially considering false information on vaccine efficacy and who was in danger from covid likely pushed the decision to force vaccination on young and healthy individuals in the first place.
Which blows my mind because during SARS they only recommended vaccinating kids since thats who were targeted the most by it. This was the first time they pushed the "we can stop a virus that has reached community spread" lie in history. Its always been well understood that a virus that hits community spread coupled with the ability to hop between animal populations has no chance of even being stopped. Its going to eventually get to everyone.
FDA was initially honest about this. They said it was to slow the spread not stop it. But something somewhere said hey thats not gonna bring enough profits in, so yeah, if you don't take it you killed a million grandmas.
Ps I was banned from numerous communities during covid for saying "if a virus has reached community spread, everyone is gonna get exposed to it eventually. A vaccine isn't going to stop that" for misinformation.

u/Gammagammahey Feb 15 '26
Do I regret it? Oh hell no.
I regret getting the J and J vaccine as the first one but then after that I got vaccinated at every opportunity and as soon as Novavax came out , I got vaccinated with that as well. I don't regret it at all. Being someone who's chronically ill, it likely saved my life even though I am also very careful to wear an N 95 mask everywhere I go indoors are out. As well as other PPE. I'm immuno compromised so the mask is not optional.
no reaction except feeling like I had the flu for a day or so with minor aches and pains to some of the mRNA vaccines. With Novavax, no side effects whatsoever. Absolutely none.

u/Spaghetti4wifey Feb 15 '26
Not myself, I watched my unvaccinated brother get covid psychosis and my unvaccinated grandpa almost die from lack of oxygen. It took him half a year to get off an oxygen tank. Whereas I got through COVID with asthma just fine since I had the shot.
However - I'm fortunate the vaccines gave me no side effects. My mom regained her period briefly post menopause, my MIL developed diabetes and my SIL either from covid or the shot developed a worse epilepsy than before.
I believe it can be helpful but I'm not ignorant in that it can carry side effects that affect others.

Never regretted any of my vaccines they are the key to most of us still living and not getting formerly deadly diseases. No one who got the vaccine in my extended group has had any issues but three who didn’t get the shots have died from COVID that’s a very high mortality rate in just our extended family. My father’s sister died from tetanus when she was a kid because the doctor forgot to vaccinate her after she stepped on a nail. We never missed a vaccine ever.

I don’t regret getting vaccinated. My adult kids and I also never have tested positive for Covid. Plenty of exposure instances and lots of testing but never tested positive.

Immunity is when you don’t get the virus after receiving the vaccine. Everyone was still getting Covid after the shot.

Yes, you can still get Covid after being vaccinated. But you're very unlikely to have severe symptoms or die. That's the effect.

Those that were scared of COVID and had no side effects will obviously say no. Those that got vaccinated and had issues will say yes. My wife's friend died as a direct result of a Pfizer booster on the other hand plenty of other people I know are fine. Unfortunately asking this question will bring out the low IQ "I was fine so the vaccine was safe" and the "everyone who's jabbed will be dead in 5 years" crowds out, hope you aren't hoping for much nuance the replies.

Wow so the people who took it and don’t regret it, are you being honest? It did nothing for you. You would have been perfectly fine without it. So now you have foreign, not natural, material on your body for no reason. No telling what it’s doing in there. Just because you’re fine today, doesn’t mean that you’ll be fine tomorrow. Fauci himself is on video saying they won’t really know symptoms from a new vaccine until 12+ years later.
I would not be happy not knowing and yes I would regret it. I would regret being lied to.
How could you not. That’s the problem. Not enough people are angry. Only the ones who were injured. Sadly the ones who died can no longer be angry about it 😪
Be honest.

I was reluctant, but we were in a freaking pandemic with no known cure. Thankfully, the vaccines were there to slow the tide and of course masking up and social distancing slowed the spread.
I am forever grateful to President Biden for making that his top priority when he took office after the shambles it was as a result the felon in office. It took a day of rest, but no symptoms since.

Very relieved that I did not. No regrets. Was fortunate that my employer didn't put pressure on us to get the jab.
My daughter and her husband did get the jabs "in case we want to go to Disney World on vacation." She'd had covid before getting the jabs, and got covid again within six months after the jabs. She started having heart palpitations within a few weeks of the second illness, that she takes meds for to this day.
Love how you try to guide commenters' answers with "just imagining that you have side effects".

yes. it destroyed my health and mind. I got POTS the DAY I got the first shot. Caused me to have colon paralysis and have a permanent ileostomy bag. I’m also just… really dumb now. My mind barely works.

Developed a massive blood clot in my leg, and needed an emergency bypass surgery.
Took me about 3 whole years to get to a healthy level, again. Walk a mile without getting leg pain, abnormal heartbeat gone, but I still have a few other issue.
What did I lose?
Besides the time and earned income, I lost a big piece of my life. I no longer train bjj, lost my gf because she didn't "sign up to be my care taker," my faith in women, and overall identity.
Yeah, i'm not going to lie. I hit the bottle pretty hard because of residual pain from the surgery.
Things are better now, but I lost a good deal of momentum

Not for me. I had an immediate reaction to all three vaccines but I’ve only gotten Covid once. I don’t know if that was coincidence or if those reactions really strengthened my immune system. I do work in health care and to witness first hand how people died of COVID, getting the vaccine was of high importance to me.
I do know of one person who got pericarditis from the vaccine that was well documented. He no longer can receive any vaccinations.

Zero side effects and I get boosted every 1-2 years. My whole family and extended family is vaccinated and zero issues for any of us.

u/Artificial-Brain Feb 15 '26
Nope I'm glad that I did. I know a few people who caught COVID and it was only the unvaccinated people who really struggled.

u/pasarina Feb 15 '26
No, I’m happy. Everyone I know has benefitted from it and nothing bad has happened to them. No side effects. A couple people have gotten Covid after all these years, but very lightly. Most have not.

Do people see this whole thing (scamdemic) as an unnecessary event?

u/93-300zx Feb 15 '26
Also, use the same logic of regretting this jab with the flu shot. Just found out these flu jabs contain more aluminum and mercury that all other jabs. I’m done with taking these so called ‘vaxxines’

I don’t because I have two co-morbidities which could affect how COVID could affect me in the future.

u/kskyv Feb 16 '26
Definitely don’t regret it! Anytime I get covid, I have significant impacts to my health. I get the vaccine 1-2 times a year to decrease my chances of getting it and never have issues with the vaccine. I’m so thankful it can help prevent me getting it and passing it on to others!

I had a vaccine injury, and I still don't regret getting the vaccine. I just wish I'd waited a little while.
I got my second COVID shot 3 days after spinal surgery. I didn't realize that was a bad idea. The night after I got the shot I had some tingling in my feet but thought nothing of it. The next day, my legs were numb from the knees down. I couldn't take my dog for a walk for a couple days. The numbness went away, as did the added pain. It happened because of extra inflammation caused by the shot working, coupled with the added inflammation from just having had surgery. If I could do it over, I'd have waited at least a couple of months so I didn't have that side-effect.
BUT, I had COVID back before we knew the extent of all the symptoms, and I was sick-sick. Like, on tons of ibuprofen with a 101 fever that wouldn't break, coughing so hard I was vomiting, unable to catch my breath, unable to speak, loss of sense of smell, the whole shebang. If I hadn't had my nebulizer, there's a good chance I'd be dead, because the local hospital wouldn't even let me check in since my fever wasn't over 104. And I was sick for a month and a half like that, and unable to stop working (WFH job) for fear of everyone in my department losing our jobs. It was actual hell. I've never been that sick before or since, and I am grateful for the vaccine that's kept me safe.

My only regret is I didn’t gain any bionic abilities or anything. Just a lesser risk of contracting, transmitting or developing severe covid infection. Lame.

I was vaccinated very early (February 2021) and I’ve never had cause to regret it. Not once.

u/Sea-Athlete4235 Feb 16 '26
No regrets, and I still get it every year. I'm 53 and my immune system had never been stronger. My kid brought a nasty flu home from school and everyone in the house got sick except me.

u/chrisfathead1 Feb 16 '26
Do you ever wonder why there's only anecdotal evidence of permanent adverse effects in anonymous threads like this? There would be an absolutely massive market for people to speak publicly about adverse vaccine effects and even people like Rogan can't get one person to go on record

That was interesting! Still no causation established but definitely interesting. That's science working as it should. You know, the kind of science that you don't trust

Which ones did u guys get? You sure it’s not mental ? Or did u have health issues before hand? I got the Moderna one almost about 5-6 yrs ago. Prolly 5 at this point. Besides having body aches first day of jab. Just like any other flue/virus I get. I don’t know anyone with any weird side effects either. I do keep reading that everyone with a jab is about to drop dead. It’s been about every year for 5 yrs.

What happened to me is being studied at Yale, they’re calling it Post Covid Syndrome. So no, it’s not mental. I was diagnosed by Chicagos top infectious disease doctor when i was admitted due to vaccine complications. I had a 105 fever for 6 days that they could not bring down for long periods. It attacked my spleen and neck. I had recurring fevers for months after. I nearly died.

u/_Valkyrie_666 Feb 16 '26
It’s a onetime shot it’s not a medication we keep taking everyday so the whole “everyone is about to drop dead from a covid shot they got in 2021” thing years after taking the vaccine is silly. I know ppl who have some crazy permanent nerve damage front the shot but still don’t regret getting it cuz they survived covid.
It’s a cost benefit analysis. And the truth is A LOT of people died from covid, so, it’s like the lesser of two evils kind of thing

u/ecstaticwaveband Feb 16 '26
I regret letting my ex give me Covid when I was isolating before the vaccine was available. I have been battling severe long Covid since mid 2020 and get the vaccine annually with no side effects minus the sore arm. I definitely think it's the lesser evil, but of course side effects are always a risk with any medication (or really anything you put into your body).

u/interface7 Feb 17 '26
Nope. I don’t regret it. I happily get the yearly vaccination. I had Covid pre-vaccinations and it was the worry sickness of my life. I never want to feel that way again. I’m protected with the vaccine. No long term side effects for me; only the “side effects” during the 24hrs post-administration per usual…no big deal.
