WTF is up with COVID?

[sd_shooter]

It's a cold or flu, just called something different

[yoteassasin]

So try to hear that but I literally know no one who
Was hospitalized or other wise with. I sat next to a gal on a flight to Minneapolis last year and she told me that 6 members of her immediate family had died and I literally could not believe it.

There is quite a bit of Covid-19 going on in my area. I've actually had it twice in the last few months - both times pretty darned mild.

There are several highly transmissible variants out there. Generally causing mild disease with few hospitalizations.

If you get a whole lot of the virus into your system you get sick. If you have some immunity and you get only a few viruses then you get an asymptomatic infection and thus have the infection but may never even know you had it.

A ton of people are testing at home and I have little faith in those tests. And few of the cases are even being reported anymore.

People should be out and circulating. It is the healthiest choice at this time. It is not clear to me that routine vaccination is beneficial at this time but if you have significant risk factors it might be worth getting vaccinated.

If you are getting vaccinated? Personally, I'd get the Moderna and get the second shot two months after the first. With that 2-month dose separation I'd effectively skip the currently recommended 3rd dose and wait for a new version which covers the newer variants. I don't think there is good evidence for a 4th shot at this time - really screwy process got that approved.

A lot of people were scared by their ignorant doctors and were recommended to go on ventilators (a death sentence in itself) when not required.

Going on the ventilator made the hospital all that money.

You may not know anyone who was hospitalized for Covid-19 but I've known plenty and a fair number who died due to Covid-19 (appropriately attributed to that virus). But then, I know a lot of people. I knew only one immunized person who died from Covid-19 - all the others were not immunized.

That said, the variants out there now are pretty different from the ones we had early on. I'm not convinced that the current vaccines are all that beneficial against the current variants or that the risk/benefit ratio benefits vaccination right now for any other than those at increased risk.

The current variants are significantly different from the early version of the virus.

Or just about the whole system here that kept ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine from people dying... It's crazy people played along.

I hope some lawsuits start happening as the data piles up they both work.

[lost.in.cali.]

All a scam and scare tactics.

My buddy's dad died last year. alzheimer had been killing him for years.

On his death bed he was test 3 times over a 12 hr span ,negative everytime, listed cause of death was marked as chyna virus.

I take anybody's cause of death with a grain of salt .

Wasn't the original variant the one we got the 99.8% survival and near 80 year old average age of death?

Another weakie in the gene pool. In hill country of Texas they gived their stump broke horses Ivermectin and get prophylaxis via the method. They do not vax there.

I know 5 friends / co workers that are vaccine injured.
-One 21yo kid with brain issues and Kaiser has been effing him around for 6 months and he is finally seeing a Nuro surgeon next week
- one dad of a kid on my sons baseball team 40yo tough construction worker , has had micro seasides and unable to breath since 2 days after his first vax
- one 15 yo friend of my daughter. Unexplained seizures weeks after booster. Parents convinced the girl will never drive or live independently
- one hunting buddy 46 who has had an unexplainable “lung infection” for 2 plus years. That coupled with skyrocketing bp had basically made him unable to hunt since
- one sons friends mom 40yo in shape runner . Uncontrollable bp cannot be out of cell range or more than 15 min from a major hospital because doc said she could stoke out at any time.
So eff the vaccine and eff the tards who think forcing experimental medical treatments on healthy people because weak people are dying. Your “want” to live forever does not supersede my freedom . And fyi everyone is still going to die

I have a similar story. My close friend Kyle lost his job 04/2020. He started drinking so much. His wife left. It didn’t make sense he was a body builder. He was so healthy until the alcohol. 9/2020 he makes an appointment to see his doc as his stomach and back hurt so bad it’s keeping him in bed. 10/2020 he was on his way to his doctors, sitting in his car, he was found dead by his dad. His kidneys had failed.

His “cause of death” was Covid.


Also along the same lines, my father died in 2010. He had heart disease since the late 60’s. 5 pacemakers. His listed cause of death was end stage renal failure. He died on the dialysis machine. We weren’t going to fight the false statistic. He died of heart disease which poisoned his other organs with fluid build up.

It's a pendimac of the vaccinated. It seems from my experience that those who took the experimental jab(s) are the ones catching Covid.

Covid will be in the wild forever. If it is an engineered bioweapon it may affect us in ways unseen as of yet. Man messing with nature can have unexpected results.

I remain a test case, old, untreated, unvaccinated, sick mutiple times. I've noticed the loss of smell and taste has largely departed with the latest iterations and the most recent could even be a normal summer (rare for me) cold. Main deviation is oxygen saturation; I rarely get to 95-96 with a cold and that's what this morning's run was.

This has been a tough period for most everyone in one way or another. Hope we can work together to get through it. The next wave of pain is in the chute IMO; Recession/Depression. Strife can leave humans vulnerable to all sorts of diseases. I'd expect that.

Good friend of mine, guy in his early 40’s, healthy, takes care of himself, no toxic vices, has had the China virus 5-6 times this year. He’s vaxed.

I think the statistics have been very bad all along and the net effect is that I don't know what the actual survival/death rate is/was. The early stuff was pretty nasty and even if a relatively healthy youngster got a heavy dose of the virus there was a decent chance it would kill 'em.

Very early in the pandemic "excess deaths" was a pretty good indication of the lethality of the WuFlu. Later on you really couldn't separate that out from those who died because of the governmental interventions.

But those who died were typically elderly and had multiple medical problems.

Now even those who are elderly and have multiple medical problems will get sick but won't even require hospitalization. But that's a little distorted because most of them have had 3-4 Covid-19 vaccinations and it gets difficult to figure out whether they aren't getting hospitalized because of the vaccine or despite it.

The statistics are generally very poor quality. The best indicator that we don't have a really big problem is the relative lack of hospitalizations for Covid-19 but even that may be misleading. I am not convinced that the current tests are great at detecting the current variants - and especially if the illness is in the early stage or if done at home.
