The Fourth Dose Decision | What to Know | WTK

With case counts low and summer vacations coming up, many people over age 50 are trying to decide if, and when, to get their fourth dose of COVID-19 vaccine (second booster). UT Southwestern Infectious Diseases specialists Dr. Pearlie Chong and Dr. Reuben Arasaratnam weigh in on the benefits of the second booster and who needs it most.

After my 2nd Pfizer booster I had a marked decline in my energy level and it hasn’t improved. I often feel exhausted, tired, drained. This has continued for 3 months to-date. I have no underlying health conditions.

Anyone watching this should probably check out Dr. Vanay Prassad's vid on 11 reasons why a covid booster is not the same as an annual flu shot.

"I got Covid but it wasn't that bad, so the first three doses must have worked" is the worst logic I've ever heard

My brother got the 4th booster and died.

I'm amazed your comment remains. Condolences, may your brother RIP. Take care.

@@Heaven-dy9lj …… I too am amazed. I get that often people will post their thoughts on a matter, but these are facts. How is it that we are being fooled into taking these shots? And thank you, our every waking moment, we suffer his loss.
