Coronavirus (Covid-19) Discussion
-
I find Marty Makary from Hopkins to be a good source of info. He retweeted this the other day. Thought it would be relevant here. Japan’s policy.

My wife’s very good friend who has been resisting the vaccine has Covid now. My wife’s been biting her tongue all year despite being extremely pro vax and anti anti vax. When she told me my response was “Good.” Now after Uncle Neph’s stern talking to I feel I may have responded a wee bit harshly. I’ll revisit that convo with the wife. Hopefully her friend hasn’t expired in the meantime.
I beg to differ @Matt . My sympathies lie with health care workers who have endured a year in hell with no end in sight. The covid deniers are filling ICUs and delaying medical care to people who are ill through no fault of their own.

Some fantastically positive science coming out of South Africa re cross infection, being supported by impirical data evidence. Indemic status on its way!

My barber where I’m apprenticing just tested pos after dealing with flu like symptoms all weekend. They’ve resolved already but he’s staying home for the week. I’ve been ill since Sat but feel a bit better today. A weird cough that was a 7 on Sat, a 4 yesterday and a 1 today. Some soreness but I can’t tell if that’s from being sick or working out against wife’s orders. I’ll get a test this weekend but I’m not going anywhere this week.
For what it’s worth my barber got two boosters. He was in Walgreens and they were giving them out like Halloween candy so he said why not. He has a bad heart and the diabetes so I’m glad he did it now.
Stay safe everyone. Get your boosters.

I guess so. We never got tested way back when we were in the road but I’m going to get one on Thursday. I don’t have anywhere to go but we’ll need to keep an eye on the kids with school. We’re all good though. Just living in the age of crazy. Gives me a chance to catch up on Mario Kart.

Today was the first day back at school for the girls and both their teachers were out. I think everyone is going to get this now. Hopefully that S African research is onto something and the Omicron will be the trick to finally establishing some kind of herd immunity. Or zombies. 50/50 really.

Well, for me, fully unvaxxed with any of the experimental offerings currently available to protect against a virus with a relatively high survivability rate, let's be honest, it hasn't been too bad! I'm 5 days past a positive test and beside being a little extra tired, I feel pretty much good to go. Never lost my sense of smell or taste. Now, to be fair, I like soooo many others took my life in my own hands and used a drug that has literally been dosed billions of times with relatively no side effects called Ivermectin. I also, prepared for months and months making sure my Vit D levels were high, took lots of C and zinc. I also used black cumin seed oil, been around for centuries, check it out. I'm not really posting this to start shit but it's fair to say, early treatment works. For all you pro vaxxers who chose to take it, I'm glad it's an option for you, I really am. I'm not pro or anti but I sure as shit am anti mandate. For those who were forced to take an experimental treatment that is certainly not doing what we were told it would, I am truly sorry. For me, someone who has been taking care of my body for years, I knew there was a better way to go. Seems I got it right, and now natural immunity!! It will be fun to keep an eye on this thread because, wow, some of y'all are really sure about being on the right side of the argument on this one. Time will tell I guess. Hopefully the great IH mod team does us all a favor and leaves the historic log as is…
Oh, my 6 year old kicked it in about 36 hours, my 9 year old 48, and Dr Zhivago a little longer, is coming right after about 6 days. No one in our little nest is vaxxed, we just all eat lots or organic whole foods, sustainably raised meats, avoid excess sugar and get lots of activity. We also celebrate our blessings often and express love openly!! To each their own though!

You’ve been fortunate mate, that’s about it. I for one am pleased that is the case, though I personally don’t think you’re doing your bit for society if you opt out with no good reason (your opinion in face of overwhelming science not being a good reason in my eyes).

no bait @Matt not how I roll champ
Are these injections not only being used under the EUA or am I missing something?

just so I have some frame of reference to what your understanding of modern medicine is, feel free to list any credentials you or someone you live with has, for instance, my wife is a dual board certified physician, your turn

Pfizer, which is essentially the same technology as Moderna, has been fully approved for months. It’s easy to find online if you have any interest. Was the Mrs not aware of this?
