Cletus McFarland's (Garrett Mitchell) SOBERING account of having Covid

[Cali-Glock]

Garrett Mitchell's (Cletus McFarland YouTube Channel) account of his bout with COVID is sobering.

I know folks who had it and said it was not bad at all, but I also know some healthy folks suffer mightily, and some suffer mightily and die.

Being more than twice as old as these two, in poor shape and with multiple comorbidities, this video gives me pause about my attitude regarding COVID and my refusal to get vaccinated.

OP, consult with your doctor if you are concerned. Nobody can make the choice for you. Make an informed decision weighing all the risks, and then own it.

Why do you believe getting injected with the experimental drugs will help you?

Other than mass media, what information are you relying on that leads you to believe the experimental injections will help you?

Influencers get do get paid to promote covid. Not saying this didn't happen but influencers get paid

I was sick worse than what he described three weeks ago.

Multi day 103+ fever, crippling weakness, throat on fire, cough, headache. Took about 2 weeks to not have to take a break every 20 or so minutes to rest.

It was strep, not covid, so no one cares and I got to keep going to work.

If you watch his channel he and everyone around him have all but completely ignored the guidelines and rules. He puts on a mask to fly and pulls it off and jumps in a truck with people to go off and race cars, or do some stupid stunt.

He lived his life and as much as possible he was/is not going to let Covid interfere with that.

Garret does not try to sell the CDC Covid line, he is just passing along his experience and says he won't tell someone else what to do, we need to make our own choices.

Personally what concerns me is breathing. I have enough trouble as it is.

Slowly suffocating is just not very high on my list of ways to die.

Everybody seems to react differently to it for different reasons.

I just got over Covid and for me I was barely phased. Same with my wife and kids.

Everybody is different. We have different blood types, our current fitness and health is different. We have different allergies, etc.
Saying that, illness also affects people in different ways. The normal flu kills thousands each year. But I think these severe cases we see are very small minorities. In fact the reason we see them broadcasted is because they are not common so it's a shocking event out of the norm.
Thousands of people die on the freeway each year. It's the norm, we accept it and it doesn't stop anyone from driving every day because we know the odds are in our favor that we will not be in that group.
The same applies to Covid. Very few will have severe issues and even fewer will die.
For me to take an experimental vaccine that could have negative life long implications for a virus that I have already had and easily survived through makes no sense at all.

Why do you believe getting injected with the experimental drugs will help you?

Other than mass media, what information are you relying on that leads you to believe the experimental injections will help you?

The data is crystal clear: those who have taken these experimental drugs are faring far better when they contract Covid. My employer's and parent company's data is exactly the same: those who are vaccinated are coping with the Delta far better than those who are not vaccinated.

On the other hand I am not particular motivated to take either one of these experimental drugs, nor the just approved Pfizer one either. Too new, too much unknown. The first ever mRNA vaccine. It took something like 33 years from the patent to the first approved product in the world.

From about 1976 until about 10 years ago I only had on vaccine injection. In '76 I had a pretty unpleasant allergic reaction to a Tetnus shot which caused doctors to choose not to give my further vaccine shots.

What is funny is I do want a new Tetnus shot - but I don't want to go through what I went through last time either.

Sometime in the 1980s or 90s I tried to get flu shot and they made me wait hours before they finally said I could get one. I did not bother with a flu shot again until my work started holding clinics once a year using a conference room on the same hall as my office.

As someone else said in this thread, we have to own our own decisions. Garrett's video was just a sobering reminder of the potential consequences of my decision.

Millennials love being dramatic.... Not discounting his experience, but I'm also not 100% buying it. He seems fine. His voice sounds nasaly like he has some kind of nasal issues already, but I'm not a doctor ...

Anything can kill you. Walking across the street and hit by a car. Mid air collision and a plane engine drops on your head (happened to my father in laws IT guy).

The Music Is Win youtube guy actually wound up in the hospital on a vent from what I read....

[user120312]

I follow the car stuff pretty extensively and Garrett has been living large throughout Covid, huge social/business/personal contacts, interactions, travel, long hours, stress. Except very very early I can't recall seeing any precautions utilized at all. Main positive is he picked a great gal to marry. She'll reign him in.

Considering what he does for fun and money, Covid is likely the least of his risks.

If you believe the data is “crystal clear” then why question the experimental injections?

Be aware the data is not only NOT crystal clear, it is being manipulated by the government and media. For example, did you know that people that die within 14 days of their injection are officially deemed “unvaccinated” by the CDC?

Does that make sense to you? If you get an injection and drop dead 5 mins later you are listed as an unvaccinated Covid19 death.

How can the data be crystal clear when the government and media are working overtime to change definitions, hide data, refuse to collect data, etc. I can’t think of any valid reason to use these ridiculous definitions, and I assume it is being done so that it is not possible to look at the data and determine how many people died or were injured by the experimental injections. A quality study would segregate the data for fully injected, not injected, what injections they received, when, etc.

This isn’t sloppy data collecting, it seems more like purposefully obtuse to avoid anyone reaching valid scientific conclusions.

For example, see this CDC study in the fine print on page 3:

https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/pdfs/mm7034e5-H.pdf

It defines unvaccinated in the fine print below the chart.

To make it easy here is the relevant passage:

“ * Persons were considered fully vaccinated ≥14 days after receipt of the second dose in a 2-dose series (Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna COVID-19 vaccines) or after 1 dose
of the single-dose Janssen (Johnson & Johnson) COVID-19 vaccine; partially vaccinated ≥14 days after receipt of the first dose and <14 days after the second dose in a 2-dose series; and unvaccinated <14 days receipt of the first dose of a 2-dose series or 1 dose of the single-dose vaccine or if no vaccination registry data were available.”

Here is a short article discussing this silliness.

Being more than twice as old as these two, in poor shape and with multiple commodities, this video gives me pause about my attitude regarding COVID and my refusal to get vaccinated.

I'm pretty sure that having a lot of commodities is not a problem. Hopefully your commodities are precious metals.

I would look into the data from Norway regarding elderly and people with comorbidities before making your decision. You need to be healthy enough to deal with some of the vaccine side effects and the period following the second shot where you will experience a depressed immune system.

Just because something is a benefit, does not mean that there are not other consequences to the thing in question. You say question the data - which is fine - but when I say data I am including my employer's experience; the un vaxxed are suffering far worse than the vaxxed when it comes to the Delta variant. Friends in the medical community are claiming their current first hand experience is that the unvaxxed are the ones ending up on ventilators.

Everything has pros and cons.

Lots of beneficial things to having passenger vehicles. Yet those same passenger vehicles kill tens of thousands of Americans outright.

It is all about measuring the Pros and Cons.
