I believe it affects people in the way their bodies are made up. My family all got it back in 2020. Myself and my daughter both had symptoms so mild if it wasnt for loosing smell and taste it was milder than a small cold. Wife and son felt really bad for a solid week or longer but both got over it. A friend and his wife got it, she was healthy but died within a week of getting it, heart attack caused by lack of oxygen.
Then last month 2 guys at work came down with it, one fully vaxed and the other no vax, both had identical symptoms to the tee.
I figure theirs two types of people, the ones who have had it and the ones who are gonna get it.

My wife and I feel like we have a small cold since the booster shots yesterday.

If you're getting a reaction, it's been doing its job.

We're down a lot of guys at work this week. Majority are vaccinated but it still ripped through every single department. I'm either very lucky or asymptomatic... but I've made it this far without even needing to get tested so maybe I'm doing alright with precautions too. If I feel more than my normal sniffle I've had for a few months I'm going in. It's mold related.

My wife is a front line health care worker. It is bad right now in NE Ohio. The hospital system she works at is at 120% capacity. People are being admitted to ER, double stacked, what ever can be done. This go round it is worse. If you hit a ventilator, you have a very great chance of dying. They were losing 6 patients or so a day. Last week in one day, over 300 people were admitted to the hospital in just our county.

Here is the hard numbers. 87% + of the people being admitted have not been vaccinated. The majority are in their 40's and 50's. About 50% of those have some kind of underlying condition (obesity, etc). That is the unpoliticized, no agenda numbers from here in the Greater Akron Ohio area.

One of my buddy's (younger than me, good health, he is a hunter, outdoorsman etc so in reasonably good shape) spent a month out of it and all but died. He lost a month of his life. When he woke up he thought he was still back in August. He is recovering. Another friend was really really sick. Was diagnosed with "pneumonia" over a televisit. You can't diagnose pneumonia without an xray (I am susceptible to respitory diseases, have had pneumonia lots of times). I think he had Covid. He was unvaccinated and hanging around bars and other
places with lots of people. One of his buddies died.

We think my grandson had it. Something made me pretty sick last spring, but I checked out negative. I still think I had it and the self-administered test didn't work. The first vaccine shot I received triggered off the same exact symptoms for 2 1/2 days.

We are being more than careful. MK takes 2 pairs of clothes to work. She takes off the scrubs she wears while treating covid patients, bags them and puts them in the wash when she gets home and showers before we get too close. She IS fully gowned and in protective gear when she is in the units with the Covid patients. She (and her coworkers) are exhausted. The hospital system she works at asked her to go back to helping treat patients. In the first go-round she volunteered. Then they asked her to go back.

They appreciate what she does. She recently got her own office (for her regular job) and back in October/November David R here was pretty close to dying. So the head honcho of the heart unit took care of me and fixed my problem before anything bad happened (no heart attack or damage). It turns out I have a genetic issue with cholesterol blockage even though my numbers were all normal. That is the subject of another round of keyboard pounding if anyone wants to know. I suggest you ask, it might save your life. After I had my issue, I got on my younger brother, he listened, his doctor listened, his cardiologist listened, they bypassed all the tests and went straight in and 3 weeks ago they stented my younger brother and prevented him from having a heart attack.

You summarize for us. That's just too damned much muck to sift through

Much of that is discredited BullSh*t. The so-called "cardiologist" was actually a heart surgeon, there is a big difference. Now he sells snake oil cures to people and makes lots of money off gullible people. Other so-called references in there are actually pieces and parts from different bodies of work that have been pieced together to support someone's agenda.

Yes, they have found some reactions to the vaccines. There are always going to be someone who reacts to something wrong.

Each year, 150 to 200 people die from food allergies. I suffer from food allergies. Yet I don't see people posting links to get rid of Peanut Pan's Peter Butter (yes that was a live blooper on TV when they did commercials live, look it up).

The biggest deal was everyone being lied to regarding masks. We all know that if a pair of underwear can't stop a f*rt, a cloth mask won't stop a virus, it will slow down a water droplet. That is what should have been said from the beginning. The idiots in the beltway (and douche bag governers also) did a real disservice and are responsible for setting up the conditions
for dis-information to be ripe. This has been from both parties.

The technology, mRNA, has been around for a long time. There is actually a vaccine against Ebola, but there is not that much use for it, unless Ebola figures out how to not be so deadly and how to be more easily transmittable. Here is an article from John Hopkins that has been written for folks to easily take in.

https://publichealth.jhu.edu/2021/th...-mrna-vaccines

Here is another article from John Hopkins that talks about risks, discloses the bad reactions etc.

https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/heal...9-vaccine-safe

Just think, would the majority of physicians around the world be getting vaccines themselves if it was going to kill them ?

You have to look behind the curtain, where the guy is telling you to ignore the man behind the curtain to look for the hidden agenda. It usually is money.

While I know things are serious, and I HAVE had shots, I don't think "they" really know what the score is. You can find any "answer" you want, with impressive-sounding "experts" to pitch it, but there are so many conflicts, contradictions and unanswered questions that you don't know who to believe. For example -

1. We are at fever pitch once again due to the Omicron variant. Yet most reports are that it is far milder and far less likely to be fatal than previous versions. Why panic now?

2. There are reports that after being vaccinated, and then getting a "breakthrough" case of COVID anyway, a person's immunity is incredibly higher thereafter. So *IF* that is the case, why are we running in panic? We should in theory be TRYING to catch it to achieve that high immunity level.

3. We have long had 3 types of vaccine - Pfizer, Moderna, and J&J. We hear daily about a high level of "breakthrough" cases in those who have been vaccinated. But have we ever been told what the breakdown is by brand? Are all varieties of the vaccine equally susceptible to breakthrough? Or is one type say, 3 times as likely? How can anybody fully trust the "experts" when they are not reporting what should be a pretty basic statistic.

4. We have been hearing vaccine vaccine vaccine vaccine for over a year. Yet it seems there has been much success in the monoclonal antibody treatments. Our daughter caught COVID, got that treatment promptly, and recovered almost at once. A friend, is his 70's and in compromised health, had an identical experience. I'm surprised there is not more attention and effort being put into that approach.

5. The "experts" seem to agree that one of the major tip-offs to an illness being COVID instead of a flu or a cold is the loss of taste and smell. Seriously? Anybody who has had a bad head cold - long before COVID arrived - knows you can't taste anything, and we have probably all had the experience of finally getting our taste function back as an indication we're finally over the cold.

Look - I have strong political views, but I honestly don't care who is in the White House or Congress, I want us all to be healthy. And I don't like the fact that politics is so heavily involved in the crisis. We need to deal with this as human beings, and as American citizens, and deal with it through science and accurate information - NOT as a means to political gain or anything else. I know it's serious, but I'm damn tired of each expert being opposed by an equal and opposite expert. We're being treated like mushrooms, kept in the dark and being fed bullshit. And I've had more than enough of it.

Get well soon, buddy!
So far, we haven't had any symptoms of anything since it all started.
Both of us vaxed and boosted. (wish my Vette was boosted too)
