Does anyone else feel something is missing when it comes to Covid/Covid Vaccine??

I know a lot of people are over the "Covid" talk.... so am I. However, I felt the need for this post. I truly feel there is a BIG piece of a puzzle missing when it comes to COVID and the Vaccine. I feel it in my gut. I am probably on the boat alone and that's ok. I feel one day, one day...truth will prevail. There will be more studies on the vaccine - such as which vaccine has the most side effects...which has already started, etc. and MUCH more.

Why don't they come up with some type of med to help people that has contacted the virus that end up in the hospital?? Taking the vaccine is like putting a bandage on your finger just in case you get a sore. If I get the virus and end up in the hospital do you have anything that can help me? As we know the vaccine does not mean you will not contact Covid.. WOW :oops::mad::rolleyes:
 

I sure do...

- From day one I refused to believe one stitch of conflicting information being presented to the public, just as I remain a non-believer.

- I do not believe the vaccine prevents, mitigates, or is the cure.

- I do not believe masks are preventing or lessening case counts.

- I do not believe Covid-19 will be conquered through the immunization of the worlds population.

- I do not trust authorities involved at the top.
 

I also feel there are many pieces of the puzzle missing. I'm not so sure about truth prevailing at any time.
As for treating Covid patients, I'm surprised that people aren't thinking, "Hmmmm, where are all these "550,000" Covid patients dying? They're dying in hospitals - surrounded by doctors & nurses.
So.......the people who are pushing the vaccine on us are the same people who can't save so many Covid patients.
 
Given that this pandemic is only just a little over a year from when it became a crisis, I'm amazed that we've seen this much progress in controlling it. In the past, it took far longer to come up with any effective treatments....polio, smallpox, etc., etc. Of course, we don't know just how effective the current vaccines will be....long term....or if they will work on the mutations of this virus. We are truly in untested waters, and no one knows how things will look a year, or more, from now....in that regard, we are All "Guinea pigs"....and can only hope that the scientists are correct.

As far as I'm concerned I see no progress having been made.

I hear a whole lot of chatter and cheap talk, but conclusive evidence is seriously lacking IMO.

Some countries are onto their third lockdown, and that tells me what's currently being done isn't working.

I agree... at this point there are soooo many unanswered questions.

You're right Don, this is a new coronavirus and even the experts are still observing and learning more about it all the time. The fact that there are new variants just complicates things. I think we have made much progress with the vaccines we have, no hard facts are set for the results, time will tell what has been effective and what needs to be improved.

I'm happy to get the COVID-19 vaccine, as opposed to being hospitalized, on a ventilator for an indeterminate amount of time, and perhaps dying there. The over half million Americans who have been affected by the virus and buried by their families is nothing to take lightly. There's no magic pills here, this isn't the flu or the common cold. If more people took it seriously, we'd be in much better shape in the USA today.

People can choose to do what they want, but I advise to wear a mask when around people, wash your hands often, and take advantage of the vaccination. It benefits those who get it, those they come in contact with, and the country as a whole.

I like "Positive Thinking," but only when it indicates positive results.
I'm amazed at how little progress has been made. Masks, social distancing & a vaccine that may be useless is not "Progress" to me.
And (assuming they're not exaggerating) 550,000 deaths is not progress, either.

There would be much more progress if people simply followed the guidelines from the beginning, and not so many would be dead.

My case in point..why not come up with meds to help those that have been hospitalized due to Covid. I can understand trying to come up with a vaccine to keep people out the hospital but what about those that come to the hospital and those they may end up in the hospital although they had the vaccine. So many unanswered questions and prevented measures.

That;s above my pay grade, I imagine if there were drugs that would keep people out of the hospital, they would be giving them out. Right now the drug we have to settle for is the vaccines.

I agree to disagree. How do we know other than what is reported to us????

The guidelines for coronavirus safety are just common sense, wash hands, wear mask, stay distanced in order not to spread the virus. No big secret conspiracy out there, they tell us the information they have at the time. That may continue to change as everyone learns more, and vaccine results are observed.
 
Of course there are huge gaps in out knowledge, but one thing is clear and that is that the number of people dying from Covid-19.
You can refuse to believe that if you want. You can be the most cynical non-believer in the graveyard if you so choose.

Vaccines are only one weapon in our armoury, but they seem to be proving their worth. As time goes on, I'm sure they will be improved and side effects lessened. New medicines and treatments will doubtless come along too.
Until then, if I was drowning and someone threw me a lifeline, I'd grab it .
 
IMO prevention and treatment are both important.

If taking a few simple precautions prevents me from getting a disease or reduces my chances of ending up in the hospital or the cemetery I'm more than willing to pay attention and do what I can to help myself and the people I care about.
