How often does one get the VID?

[cranemech]

I’ve had two colds in the last 3 years. One of them very bad at the end of 2019. It was probably Covid but it was a couple weeks before Covid “officially” existed.

Second time was about a year ago, and I went on the C19 protocol at first sign of symptoms. That was more like the common cold.

I didn’t get tested either time, but I’m guessing it was the vid.

So my answer is “every year or two”, speaking for myself.

I have friends who have had multiple shots that get Covid every few months.

I remember having a nagging cough that lasted for several weeks at the latter end of 2019, I've always wondered if it was the vid before it was a thing.

What I don’t understand if we all agree or at least most of us, that the vax doesn’t work and may in fact make it worse. Why dose everyone seem to trust the Covid test as being accurate, I’ve never took one and honestly don’t think I’d believe the results one way or the other.

In the case of my wife and I, we suspected that we had the vid based on our symptoms.

The test was just a confirmation/formality that was required by our respective employers.

Well, there are many of us that don't trust the tests at all. There are WAY too many false positives, and probably negatives too.

To me, it is pointless to take a test. If you have symptoms, take some IVM and increase your vitamin C and zinc for a few days. That will make you better.

It really is that simple.

I don't even trust that the tests don't CARRY covid. Or benevolent overlords have poisoned us and lied to us enough now, that I want nothing to do with their covid industry.

Talked to a family member in the industry over the holiday, said one test has a 40% false positive rate. Sure effective at putting people in quarantine. We have been feed so many lies these last three years.

I cannot find it, but on the radio they play the "pavaxolid" or whatever pill for fighting covid and the tag is that "you will test negative quicker".

Everybody needs to get some IVM. Taken early on ivermectin kills the vid quick.

A friend of mine is a school teacher on the East Coast. She has been triple vaxed....gotten Covid 3 or 4 times now. She was wheel chair bound for a month after her 3rd dose of Pfizer and got Covid shortly there after.

Her neurologist has advised her to not get any more boosters.

Catching Covid once a year or so is likely to become normal. Antibody levels in your system dwindle over months, and the longer its been the more mutations the virus will have, which makes it more difficult for immunity from previous infection to work against the new version.

As long as you haven't destroyed your immune system you should be fine though, just like with a cold or flu.

I seem to get it annually. DEC 2020, JAN 2021. I have something now that is very similar but not testing positive yet.

Aug 2021, myself, the wife, and the baby.
I was lethargic for 2 days, then ready to go back to work. Lost sense of smell/taste completely for a few weeks, took 6 or so months before back to normal.
Hit the wife pretty hard. Night sweats, fevers, etc. She doesn't have a spleen, so that may have played a factor...might not have.
Baby had a slight fever one day, and a runny nose for 3.

No vax, no subsequent Covid. Never missed a day of work, and pretty cavalier in terms of my "vigilance" against it. Just acted like I normally do beginning June 2020? Family is one and done.

Done testing for good.

It is also seen where immunity after a virus is transient and people occasionally re-contract the same virus weeks after infection. There does seem to be a trend appearing, however, where Covid vaccination seems to teach the immune system the wrong way to form the antibodies/induce the formation of the wrong antibodies. With an infection, this means that non-neutralizing antibodies are formed and the immune system doesn't seem as likely to move on to making the correct antibodies. These "memory" responses are supposed to help you to make antibodies faster if exposed to the virus, but teaching the wrong antibodies seems to not only make the individual make the wrong antibodies "faster", but keeps the immune system from ever trying to make the correct antibodies.

It is anecdotal because no provider sees enough patients to do a statistically valid study on their own, but I have never seen a patient who got Covid before vaccination who ever got diagnosed with Covid a second time, but I have seen hundreds of patients who got Covid after having at least one vaccine who have had Covid 2 or more times.

Very true. Although with Covid after vaccination, I have been seeing people reaquire the infection within weeks to months of clearing an infection. The vaccine seems to mess with the typical immune function, so it doesn't really matter how fast the antibodies decline-no protective antibodies seem to have been generated by vaccination OR subsequent infection.

Surrrre it will keep you from new infections, yes sirreee jim dandy.

My whole family got it (assumed) February/March of 2020. No one was testing for it at that point but half of my kid's school was out. I would usually get "viral asthma" around that time of year and thought that's what it was. If it gets bad enough I go to the doctor and get the albuterol treatment and inhalers to get me through about a week of rough coughing. This time is got bad and I went in. The albuterol treatment did nothing so he gave me Prednisone and the z-pak. I was better in like 48 hours. Good thing we didn't know it was Covid or they would have put me on a ventilator and I'd be dead.

About a year later we all got it again. This time my wife got it pretty bad and actually tested positive. I had all the same symptoms, just really mild but I had a negative rapid test result. So I don't trust the tests either.

We don't bother testing anymore since it's no different than a cold it seems now. And apparently I never had it even though my wife did and we had the same symptoms. I guess it could be two different viruses but seems unlikely.

May have had it again when a coworker got it and then I got sick a while later. I just worked from home for two days and was better. Didn't test.

No jabs for us.
