Have you been Vaccinated?

[nashhorn]

No coffee, no alcohol, and no one would want to be around me. My attitude would be intolerable. You’re really hanging tough By.

 

[OUBubba]

EDT did you get the clots and ‘almost died’ from the Covid in dec? I’m asking cause that surely is a big deal.
Second question, since you had the Covid why did you not just take a single vaccine dose? Did the Dr recommend the full two regime?

I can answer part of that. The recommendation is to take the vaccine within like 10 days of symptoms being gone. We had some who tested positive a day or so after getting the first dose.

That said, I would guess that someone who had covid a year ago and still is showing antibodies will show way stronger antibodies after receiving a vaccine. Antibody strength fades.

I've heard from friends of mine saying no vaccine because they had Covid. It's not like chicken pox right? The protection fade as you say.

 

[nashhorn]

So Bubba you’re saying boosters are here to stay?

Yeah... it's gonna' be rough for a bit. Gotta' do what you gotta' do.

Wouldn't having had covid still prevent you from being really sick, which, apparently, is all the vaccine does?

Not sure. That's the main thing; survival. The second thing would be to recover completely without long-term effects. Third (or firstly) would be blanket immunity but we know that's not realistic.

 

[horninchicago]

Covid didn't make me very ill whatsoever when I did have it, but now I'm being pushed to get a big $$ vaccine to make them and politicians even more $$. Seems pretty stupid to me.

I'm a year and a half removed from covid, well I say that but I have probably had it 10 more times with no symptoms like Jon Rahm, and I have zero effect from it.

So, again, why should I get it and be pushed into getting it?

You certainly don't see me encouraging people not to get it, but those who get it seem to not only encourage but go to the point often of making the ridiculous claim that people like me are affecting the overall health of society.

It's beyond absurd.

 

[nashhorn]

That’s the crux of the argument hornin. How long does immunity last? How strong is it? And which is better, recovery or vaccinated. Bubba has provided a study that showed vaccine gave more immunity on some scale and less on other. Personally I think if you’ve had it (and my Dr concurs) your antibodies are sufficient but I’d like confirming testing on their longevity. Eight months after exposure they were still strong but I haven’t been tested again in quite awhile.
Of course who’s to say what the mutations bring to the ball game. This may be like the flu in that there is a ‘booster’ shot every year. Regardless of what else you do keep up with the vit C, zinc, vit D and quercetin.

Hmmm. I get covid, I get sick. I get vaccinated against covid and then covid, I get sick. Doesn't seem to be a benefit for ME to get vaccinated. Sounds like I'm just going to get sick from covid again sometime. Or the flu, or allergies. or a cold....who knows.

So, again, why do people care if I get a vaccine? Why is it saving anyone else?

 

[mb227]

Who cares? No one has ever asked me in my entire lifetime if I have vaccinations.

Sorry, pretty stupid.

I won't say NEVER, but I feel safe in saying not since kindergarten...or roughly 50 years ago.

Even my new physician intake forms since turning 18 have never asked about what and when I had been vaccinated for things...

 

[mb227]

But you have other vaccines in your body though. Just saying.

None of which were injected less than a year after creation though...

And of those that ARE in the body, NONE are needing boosters mere months after the first two (apparently ineffective) ones. What I have from 50+ years ago were shots designed to actually PREVENT conditions...

 

[n64ra]

Going to my first covid funeral Thursday. Young man 35, perfect health. He lived in Austin and was not vaccinated. Got covid put on a ventilator for 8 days. He died when his dad was on the phone with me last Saturday at his bedside. I have never heard a man cry like that before. It was very sad.

Yes, and stories like this are why. Also FIL is an ER doc, and he was thrilled to get the vaccination. If he read all the medical material and it satisfied him, it works for me.

Oh I agree. Just taking a poke at HIC. Got to keep him fired up some days.

I'm a big coffee drinker. Probably a candidate for coffee rehab. Can you imagine cold turkey on coffee while you're getting cancer treatment.

Damn...

My wife made some ginger tea (straight ginger root) and I'm hoping just the warm drink will help. Maybe decaf though I'm on record as wanting to ban it from the shelves (along with elevator music). I don't want to be a hypocrite.

Prayers for you and your headaches.

Let me tell everyone the story.

I have been suffering from fatigue for many years. I always chalked it up to the stress of the absolute hellish divorce and stalking from my ex wife, the custody battle for my daughter which I won, my career and just plain old getting older (I'm 63). Not to mention those dang Liberals! LOL

Last February I received both Moderna shots in my left arm. After the second shot I developed a rash all over the left side of my chest, biceps and shoulder. I had a lymph node in my armpit blow up grotesquely along with much pain. My "love handle" on the left side also swelled up. I thought, wow, this shot is powerful. After about two weeks I went to the doctor because I had not improved. They said that it was a sign that my immune system was robust and just outraged over the vaccine.

Not long after that, the rash went away as did the pain and the swelling in my love handle. But the large lymph node in my armpit remained. After two more weeks I decided something was abnormal about this so I went to an Oncologist in Austin. Long story short, I had CLL (Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia). This diagnosis was in early April. I've had more blood drawn than what seems to be possible, a lymph node removed for analysis and a bone marrow test (white knuckle time on a table while they stick a needle in your rear end but in the end it didn't hurt as the numbing worked). I've met with an Oncologist at MD Anderson who reviewed all the lab results. He is in agreement with the treatment options suggested by the Austin oncologist. Thank God for that. I was sweating a conflict of recommendations.

The Austin Oncologist said it's not an emergency but we need to deal with it. It's going to be with me the rest of my life.

The facts are that I feel pretty good overall given my age. I'm athletic and active. I just have to go through the treatment (immunotherapy infusions and a pill).

Back to the Covid vaccine. They said the vaccine did not cause the CLL, it REVEALED it. So maybe it was a good thing that I got the shot. HOWEVER, I am now immunocompromised because CLL is a blood cancer and in the category that compromises vaccines. It is possible the shot did not work at all. I've not had an antibody test (they say it will be inconclusive) so I have to live as if I'm unvaccinated.

Finally, the also prescribed a pneumonia and shingles shot. Two rounds. I just got the second round last week. Guess what? I've had almost the exact same reaction to the shingles shot. My whole arm is swollen, there is a swollen lymph node that is painful enough to impede sleep on that side and I have a rash (very itchy) though it is not as bad as the Covid rash.

The worst thing of all of this? I can't drink coffee once I start the treatment.

There's a lot to unpack up there but in the end, keep people like me in mind. I'm now part of a small club that may never be protected from Covid. I might take the booster but the side effects gave me some sort of PTSD. I just tired of the **** you know?

Anyway, I know I'm going to live on and I truly appreciate all of your best wishes and I know that everyone here has a good heart regardless of the intensity of our political discourse. I know I get riled up. I know myself well.

AND OU STILL SUCKs.

Sorry Barry.

Hook 'em!

Bystander, enjoyed your rants over the years. Hope you are able to carry on as your post suggests. However, I have bad news for you: there is no vaccine for crazy leftists.

Texas parent rips mask off teacher's face, school official warns: 'Do not fight mask wars in our schools'

The situation is far beyond to vax or not... the anti-whatever crowd is becoming unruly. If they are Republicans then I'm ripping the aggression as much as I rip Liberalism.

Here's another:

I'm sure Pelosi and others will speak to how courageous these parents are for voicing their concerns so vehemently.

Right?

Second question, since you had the Covid why did you not just take a single vaccine dose? Did the Dr recommend the full two regime?

I had the clots in early Feb 2020. Was feeling them for several weeks, not knowing what they were. Had them in my left leg, both lungs and a massive clot in my pulmonary artery. My primary doc who I have trusted for 17 years suggested the Pfizer. As you know, covid broke out one month after I left the ICU in Feb 2020, so I was not tested for covid.

I had a friend get diagnosed for breast cancer 6 weeks after she got the vaccines The
Doctors said that the small tumor must of been there a while before the shot. But also said it was growing fast and had to be taken out ASAP. Which contradicts.
Could all be coincidental but I had read something about the Vaccines and breast cancer.
This is a case that will never be tracked or investigated. But it is a true story.

What I had heard is that the vaccine definitely swells up your lymph nodes and there are many near the breasts. It could be a false sign of breast cancer. So mammograms were being compromised.

Man, EDT bummer last year, clots then Covid. I can understand why you did not want the J&J vaccine.

NH,
I made it! Nine lives man. I have lost about 45 lbs this year with a lot more to go. Taking my health very seriously. I am very ready for some TEXAS FOOTBAL.

Interestingly, Baylor Law School made me get a MMR booster.

Makes sense. Lawyers should be rounded up and vaccinated like cattle, branded too if at all possible.

 

[BevoJoe]

Theraputics.

Furthermore, I'm not indifferent to the virus or the risk I could get it despite precautons / social limitations I take.

Daily, as a preventative I take:

50 MG - Zinc
1000 MG vitamin C
5000 MG vitamin D

If you have not been vaccinated I highly recommend these supplements. Doctors and health professionals recommend those to boost the immune system.

Zinc is HUGE. It stops the replication of the virus in the cells - but it is helped by Hydroxichloriquine or Quercetin to get into the cell more effectively. My wife knows all this and I have read this too.

If I get Covid symptoms I will double those vitamin doses. Plus I have Hydroxichloriquine and Ivermectin if needed (pardon if spelling is wrong).

On top of that I have access to a Dr. that will prescribe a nebulizer, steroids or anything else he determines that would help.

Hope this helps someone else better protect themselves... including vaccinated that are vulnerable to a possible break through version of Covid.

That's good to hear Worster. I take a an assortment of vitamins daily myself and have a lot of energy. According to my Doctor, being in good health and staying in good shape was a reason I didn't get as sick as some when I had Covid in early February of 2020.
