  Got the vaccine and the two boosters. Don't really regret it but I don't think I'll be bothering with any further boosters.

  I don't believe the conspiracy theory nut-jobs about the vaccine. But I do feel it was oversold to us as "Get the vaccine and a booster and you'll be immune to Covid". The reality seems to be that we're expected to get a new booster shot, every time the virus mutates.

  I kept living my life as usual, the news got out of hand so I just stop TV and reading the news.

  Did not get any vaccine out of laziness, no regrets so far, I did not feel the need for it

  I feel about the same about it (I got J&J plus booster) as about the various times I have gotten flu vaccines. No regrets, not really wanting any more unless things change.

  What's to regret?

  I do not regret doing something beneficial for my health, the health of my family, and the health of society at large, no.

  Who would regret it, unless they are in the small percentage of ppl who had side effects?

  No.

  Kinda, didn't even end up using it... So wasted time and suffering. Also sad for the fact that I ended up supporting fascism.
