The answer is no after hundreds of thousands having heart attacks and misdiagnosis of cancer I’d be a fool to.

Members in this multiple myeloma community shared a range of personal experiences when discussing whether to get another COVID shot, with most following the guidance of their oncologists and reporting no serious side effects. Several members described getting the COVID, flu, RSV, and shingles vaccines without issues, while others shared that their doctors advised against additional COVID shots due to severe past reactions or individual health factors like blood clot risks. A recurring theme was that each person's situation is unique, and consulting your own medical team is the most important step in making vaccine decisions.

For each person the risk is different just be wise in your own situation.

Just because some people have a mild reaction to COVID, this may not be the case for everyone. First time I got COVID, it went into my sinuses, then into my lungs, to give me pneumonia. It took me a month to get over it. I will continue to trust my oncologist/hematologist and countless other expert researchers, as opposed to a pseudoscientific Dr such as Joseph Mercola. Mercola's medical claims have been criticized by the medical, scientific, regulatory, and business communities. He’s written books, marketed health products and supplements. Just another entrepreneur, whose net worth, derived largely from his network of private companies, has grown to 'in excess of $100 million, using pseudoscientific claims.

Never had a Covid shot and never will. My wife and I had Covid prior to them realizing what Covid was (Jan 2020). It was a nasty two weeks cold that passed. I’ve had Covid twice since. Both cases were sniffles with a 100 degree temperature the first day.
