How long does covid booster protection last. my friends who had 3 vaccines are now getting covid. what to do? i'm tired of living my life scared?

The original vaccine was considered safe & effective in preventing severe disease & death to ~65=95% of those who took it, depending on the vaccine taken. Experience has taught us it neither prevents mild disease or prevents you from passing it to others. At your age you are at low risk and if vaccinated you will do well. Everyone will likely get covid & the vaccinated get a cold/flu like illness

Life in general is scary is my analysis/philosophy. I assume you have been fully vaccinated & continue to mask. Don't bet your life on what you read on the internet. If you are considering harming yourself call local help line. The best source of medical information for patients is uptodate.com I recommend you get a subscription and spend your time reading it for each scare you have. Discuss.
