I had the vaccine, the Johnson and Johnson to be precise. Although I got it before we knew these issues and fortunately am not in the at risk demographic. In retrospect I was vaxed, and boosted and still have had covid 3 times. 2 of them were miserable. I think it clearly did fuck all to help me.

That's a popular misconception about the vaccines.

They're to keep the infection at a manageable level, i.e. like a regular miserable virus infection, not to stop you from being infected although they do reduce the risk of that too.

Another misconception: "I'm not in the risk demographic". COVID affected people of all ages, just at different percentages of the population.
