OT: COVID experiences...

[Don Y]

I\'m seeing different experiences and outcomes in current
cases vs. cases from earlier in the pandemic.

Granted, earlier, there were no vaccines whereas every
case I\'ve heard of recently has been vaccinated and
usually, at least, boosted once (some twice).

The cases early in the pandemic seemed to be more
intense symptoms, hospital stays and long recoveries
(some involving a fair bit of PT). Recent cases seem
to be milder (no hospitalizations that I\'ve heard of)
but of much longer duration; you feel like shit for
a long time (but I don\'t hear of any \'extreme\' recoveries)

How does this jibe with other first-hand accounts?
Any recent cases? Anyone want to claim it\'s \"just like
the flu\"?

Must have been exposed to the virus, but no symptom so far. One-shot Moderna 2/21.

I had it in 2020. It was like a cold, not bad, no treatment, but it
left me fatigued for a year. Dry-eye syndrome too, during that year;
that\'s one rare side effect, but no big deal.

For roughly half of the people who got it, it was asymptomatic.

I was blackmailed into getting vaccinated in 2021. I went for the J+J
because it was one shot. No reaction to that besides a slightly sore
arm.

I dunno, never got any covid shots and am still alive and can smell etc..
Never had a cold or flue in the last 60 years either so...
When I was very young I got tested in school with a scratch on the arm for TBC,
test was positive, so they took xrays (twice), nothing found.
Seems I have anti-bodies against many things.
I think I know why and how...
You earthlings are not there yet.

I had the J+J shot in 2021 as well, but I wasn\'t blackmailed at all.
Vaccines are the most powerful medical treatment ever invented, by
orders of magnitude.

In round numbers, the risk of modern vaccination is of order a part
per million, comparable to commercial air travel.

In the US, COVID has killed a million people. Sounds like a lot, but
the population is 330 million, so the raw risk is of order 0.33%, or
3,030 ppm. Which well exceeds 1 ppm.

So I take all booster shots offered. So far, Pfizer and Pfizer again.
I also had Omicron at XMAS 2021 - just a scratchy throat. The best
protection is the combination of natural and vaccination-induced
immunity.

Getting the actual infection is probably better, and I had it before a
vaccine was available. I\'ve been fine since then, not even a cold.

The blackmail was a reservation at The Gold Mirror, a superb Italian
restaurant, that required a vaccine card at the time. Dirty trick.

Likely over-counted. As in death by motorcycle included.

So I take all booster shots offered. So far, Pfizer and Pfizer again.
I also had Omicron at XMAS 2021 - just a scratchy throat. The best

The vaccines are not risk-free themselves, especially for young males.

I had it , lasted 4 days. Really sore throat, bad cough and that\'s it.

You earthlings are not there yet.

Antibodies don\'t necessarily cure you. Everyone with AIDS has HIV antibodies. Antibodies are generally the best diagnostic to detect any infection via low cost ELISA type testing. What you think is immunity is actually asymptomatic disease. UK NHS has determined that a full 70% of people infected with influenza there remain asymptomatic as just one example. The stats for COVID are about the same. But guess what? You are infectious to others. Absence of symptoms does not mean \"I don\'t have it.\"

J+J is not an RNA vaccine, it is a viral vector. My recent reading is the government is on the verge of abandoning it.

This is probably because you have enough antibody response to take that monkey virus out of commission before it can infect any cells and produce antigen to any significant degree.

Vaccines can be dangerous for some people, but as long as their numbers are ppm range, it will still be administered to the general public.

That is just fear mongering bull to get people to be pricked dead by bloodcloths
No symptoms no problems no illness!!!.
People die all around me I note! (not).
Even if you tested positive to covid, that will go away in a week or so or you die,
It is all about the Medical Industrial Complex and they do not give a shit how many they
kill with their experiments.
I got it long ago, before all this hype, when I opened a parcel from China
from ebay, couched 2 times and that was it.
Likely more people suffer damage from those vaccines than from covid.
Many older ones that had a shot simply died or had severe side effects, youger ones too (heart failures).
But must sell!!!!
Loads of vaccines had to be destroyed here recently no longer needed and over time,
Herd immunity..
Maybe be a problem for China as it did not build hurd immunity and eventually it will damage their economy
no matter what .

The stats for COVID are about the same. But guess what? You are infectious to others. Absence of symptoms does not mean \"I don\'t have it.\"
Most people get over Covid in a week or two. Nobody gets over AIDS.

Yes, people get over Covid, except for the ones who don \'t. Over 1 million dead in the US. Nothing to worry about. Many, many more with long Covid, but still, nothing to worry about.
