covid psa

Oh dear, the irony of this statement.

 

OP best wishes to you. I had no idea COVID can cause such issues.

 

This thread tastes like burning.

My 2 cents. I'm jabbed and may have had it. A former neighbor who worked as a PA at Piedmont in the ICU said that almost all of the patients she had were non vax. She wrote up 2-5 death certificates a night.

One friend died of covid. He was in his 70s, obese, and other health problems. No clue if he was vaxed.

Fiancée works at the Atlanta VA. They're mask protocols are ramping back up as they're seeing more cases of a newer strain.

 

Got the jab three times. Got Covid twice, once pre-jab. Just ended up being a bad cold for me. I still have some lung issues when doing aerobic activities but have no idea why and I'm not blaming covid or the jab. I feel lucky either way. Glad to see the OP is still going strong. Crazy how it affected different folks in completely different ways.

My 82 year old father gave me the Norovirus this spring. Now that was 5 days of pure hell and another week of catching up. I had no idea I could evacuate everything in my body so quickly. I went from perfectly fine at 8am to sickest I've ever been by 5pm. Literally felt like death would have been better multiple times in the first couple days. Luckily I was very careful with washing my hands and cleaning surfaces and my wife didn't get the virus from me. She would have killed me.

 

You have a skewed way of looking at it... you say, "they were talking about" a lot of your scenario never happened. I live in Michigan, own property and a vacation home in Canada so again... you assume. My choice was I didnt want the shot but, knew I would not be able to cross the border to our Canada home, for a loooong time. Knowing we had damaged at the property from neighbor reports, I got the shot, just for that reason. see... a choice.

people made their choice to get the shot or lose their jobs, way of life, then those mandates were overturned and people were reinstated with back pay. some decided it wasnt worth going back to that job. so your history is a little skewed there too.

and no, I dont forget how hard, and still how hard it is pushed. it isnt/wasnt right, and should have been a choice, with no consequences. I am on your side, believe it or not. Again, it is ok to disagree, it is a discussion, not a fight. Ski

 

If I point a gun at you and demand your wallet, technically I suppose that you also have a choice.

 

Anyone else have a job where you can fudge a third of your results? (I vividly remember logical people making this argument a couple years ago and getting shamed for it.)

"The official number is probably an exaggeration because it includes some people who had virus when they died even though it was not the underlying cause of death. Other C.D.C. data suggests that almost one-third of official recent Covid deaths have fallen into this category. A study published in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases came to similar conclusions."

a death cert is not an autopsy.

 

I’m just saying it’s dumb to blame everything on the vaccine when there’s billions of people who got it and are fine.

 

Jesus Christ. Some of you guys just can't help yourselves. A guy post of photo of his missing leg, and you guys go down the usual rabbit hole. At least you're consistent.

 

Yeah you’re right, I’m out. Sorry to the op.

 

100%

It's always amazing to me the lack of compassion everyone seems to have about covid. Someone's life changed or worse, it's ended, and people still find a way to have no compassion and start arguing about their view on the whole ordeal. Regardless of your stance on everything, you don't have to be a horrible person and notice the tragedy that took place.

This guy's life has forever been altered by Covid. Show some respect.

 

Years ago I read about a service that matched people missing a leg
with other people missing the opposite leg so they could trade shoes.

 

You’re surprised by the existence of schadenfreude or the guilty pleasure of someone receiving their just deserts? I don’t seem to remember all the “patriots” in the 1950s attacking scientists over the cure for polio. Back then it was seen as a duty as a good American to get your children inoculated and to help develop herd immunity.

 

I can say that 100% of

Im pretty sure herd immunity isn’t needed when you have a vaccine that prevents you from getting a disease and you take that vaccine. That being said, I was vaccinated for polio in the late 80s. What kind of herd immunity was there if I was still getting the vaccine 30 years later?

 

I certainly hope you recognize the culpability in your charges to those on both ends of the spectrum.

Most of us just wanted to be left alone to make our own decisions without the strident bombast or threats or manipulation.

 

I'm no doctor, but I'd bet Covid comes roaring back to life right before our next election.....say.......8 months or so

I feel like I've seen this play out before

There will be no shortage of test kits though, number inflation will be key

 

Polio wasn't cured by any medication, it was eradicated, along with a number of
other diseases by improvements in sanitation. Sanitary sewer systems, access to
clean water, refrigeration and good food-handling processes, streets that weren't full
of horse shit anymore due to automobiles taking over and convincing the public to
wash more along with less overcrowding took down polio, smallpox,
and a bunch of others. The history you think you know is a myth spread by the
pharmaceutical companies. All of those diseases were almost gone before the introduction
of the item you think was responsible. All you have to do is read the history.
Don't feel bad, though, most doctors believe the lie just as you do.
