Vaccine Misinformation

[rocket surgeon]

serious question:

   anyone here NOT come down with covid that they know of?

i've had the initial vax plus the follow-up, no booster

if i had covid, i was not aware of it.  the couple of times i wasn't feeling well, i tested negative and the malaise was short lived- 24 hours?  i haven't missed a day of work due to illness in multiple years

knock on wood

[rocky_warrior]

To my knowledge I have not had covid - professional tested the couple times I traveled in the first year-ish.  Home tested any time I've felt "off" since. I've vax'd + boosted + boosted + boosted.

Hah, though I've now realized I lied (not about having covid).  I actually a flew a ton in 2020 (some in 2021) within the continental US not feeling sick. Still don't think I ever had covid.  Though got every booster I was eligible for.

[rocket surgeon]

i flew quite a bit myself plus had my face in a lot of faces.  no one caught covid to the best of our knowledge within my office.  a few got it from outside the office.  we tested anytime someone had questionable S & S's  one of my hygienists got it from her mom who is a nurse.  an assistant got it from her husband who worked the YMCA.  another assistant got it at large family function.  other than that, we've been blessed

however, i had a dear sister in law, my wife's surrogate mother pass away last month from damage to her lungs from covid.  she was an 8 year survivor of a kidney transplant, diabetic and over weight.  1 month prior, she survived a bout of leukemia-her WBC rose to 50,000.  yes over 50k.  they put her on some med and to this day, the med staff could not believe they got her down to 9,000 within a week.  she caught covid from her son over Christmas.  recovered, but her lungs were badly damaged and could not exchange O2 sufficient for survival.  she was vaxed vaxed boosted and boosted.  too many comorbidities

Have not had it, to the best of my knowledge. Know people who lost parents to it, and a former co-worker lost his wife, all in the first year. . Relative has long Covid, it’s no joke.
Please don’t jinx me.

[tower912]

Retired former co-workers, parishioners, distant relatives, people I ran calls on who died from COVID, my number is in the teens.   
Other than food poisoning, the first time I had it was the sickest I have felt as an adult.  For 9 days.  Sense of smell was wrecked for 18 months.   Still weird compared to pre-COVID, but at least I can smell most things.
     The second time I had it I treated it with cough drops.

I've never had it that I'm aware of.  No shots.  Family all had it, i tested negative every time.

[larrym]

I've never had it.  My 10yo son got a positive result on Thanksgiving morning 22, but the other 3 of us in the house didn't get it.  That was the first and only case in our house.  We're all max vaxxed.

I mistyped, it was a Hepatitis vaccine.

LOL

I had a mild case last summer. Know multiple people who were hospitalized, lost parents, siblings, etc. Have one friend who lost her 30 year old son early in the pandemic. Just awful. Wife is dealing with mild, long Covid issues.

[MUfan12]

Had it last April. Painful, hacking cough and really heavy fatigue for about four days. Wasn't the sickest I've ever been but still wasn't a whole helluva lot of fun.

My wife is an RN who kept right on working through the worst of the pandemic. She's never had COVID that we know of. Been tested literally dozens of times, especially from late 2020 through mid 2022.

I've had it, as have other family members, as have all her co-workers, as have hundreds (or more) of her patients, etc etc.

My wife has received all of her shots and boosters, usually as soon as they became available. As statnik would say, that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that fully vaxxed and boosted people never get COVID.

[pbiflyer]

Got it in October 2022 at a small convention with 12,000 of my closest friends. A week or so of coughing and exhaustion. Took a while to bounce back. Fully vaxxed and boosted.
Being the giver I am gave it to the Mrs. She handled it better.
Daughter got it at college. Cold like symptoms. Teen son attends a large high school and remains unscathed.

At least I’m basing my thoughts on numerous anecdotes, not just one

Most conspiracy theories agree.

[pbiflyer]

I know several people that have died of Covid. None vaxxed. But they were sure the vaccine was deadly.

The self-pantsing continues.

I had my annual physical and got the most recent booster on the reco of my primary.  He is borderline on new boosters, at this point, for those in good health, under 60, etc... But he said with a 5 month old at home, better to air on the side of caution.

So, I wish you all the best as I'm sure I will soon be shuffling off this mortal coil like countless other healthy athletic younger men who got the booster and then promptly died.  Its been a pleasure

I had my annual physical in December and my primary doctor rec'd getting the second booster also.  I know I'm going to Asia at some point this year for work, so I was waiting until I had more clarity when and then will schedule.

Wife, kids and I all fully vaxxed. All have had it except me. One daughter still dealing with long Covid.

I know 5 people who have died from Covid. All fully vaxxed but had one or more comorbidities.

That's a lot Lenny. I'm sorry for your losses. Really sad.

Was this before the rollout of Paxlovid? My mom probably owes her life to that drug. She was vaxxed, but had several comorbities, and was in a really bad way for a couple days. The Paxlovid knocked it out in 48 hours. She got a rebound case after the course of the drug but it was incredibly mild compared to the original. I really think it was a lifesaver.

Only about 10 behind me.   All pre-vax or anti-vax.   Nobody close to me has died from COVID after being vaxxed.

Are you counting the ones who died from the vaccine itself?
