I don't remember if I knew that you had gotten COVID back then.
I'm sorry for what you went through with that and the radiation treatments. I hope that you are well now.@hollydolly Ditto what I said to Lewkat, except the radiation, of course. I hope both your lives will be better moving forward.

Because I work, I'm around other people on a daily basis...but...I always wear an N95 mask. I stay as far away as possible from my coworkers, rarely go to restaurants, shop with DD early on Sunday mornings when the stores where we shop are nearly empty of others, and give a very wide berth to anybody without a mask.
One brother died of covid early on before there was a vaccine, one brother has had covid after being vaccinated (but before he got the booster), another brother and his wife and son all had it, DGD/DGS/DSIL all had it. DGD and DGS were both vaccinated and boostered and had very mild cases. They spend a lot of time with friends in bars and restaurants. DSIL? Refused to be vaccinated and was very ill but got lucky and had the monoclonal antibody infusion. He still refuses the vaccine...never mind that he's been reminded that he is putting the rest of us at risk, and that at my advanced age... You get the picture. My take on his refusal? Selfish and silly. He says it's because it's "too new". It doesn't help that his mother insists that it's "the devil's work".

Whether or not someone gets Covid and how serious it is, is not as simple as we would like it to be. As you noted, anyone can get Covid, whether or not they are vaccinated - much like flu shots.
In fact, Bob Saget died of Covid after being vaccinated; one of the few publicized incidents. Obviously, they don't want the vaccinations to stop, so they avoid any information that would encourage that.
Your "Take" is part of the "Covid Blame Game" which is how you deal with frustration.

Drank enough alcohol to kill it or at least make it think twice before visiting my body. True story bro.
My heart is with you @hollydolly
I hear you.

You never saw the initial reports?

https://people.com/tv/bob-saget-spoke-about-covid-diagnosis-before-death-at-age-65/
“It is not good, it does not feel good,” he continued. “I don’t know if I had Delta or … I might have had a combo. Maybe at one point they [Delta and Omicron] were working together.”
Although Saget did not disclose when he battled COVID, the episode was recorded just days before he was found dead in his Ritz-Carlton Orlando hotel room after performing the night before in Jacksonville, Fla.

Glad to see most people here are taking all the right steps. As for getting vaccinated compared to all the other crap that has gone through my body it just seems like a no brainier.
All the hoopla over this vaccine just doesn't make sense. Doctors hand out prescriptions like candy yet many of these pharmaceuticals have side effects that should scare the CRAP out-of-you. People seem happy to take them & not much is ever said about their side effects.
When I went into the service we stood in lines & got every known vaccination known to man. I don’t recall anybody upset about that. While working around blood products again I was vaccinated for all the known blood born diseases - never thought anything about that either.
The statistics have shown this vaccine to be one of safest ever produced yet many people continue to be polarized over it – really!
I’m more concerned about the food, water & pharmaceuticals doctors want to push me. In my book these are much more concerning than getting poked with another vaccine.
Just had to get that out.

Good post and very true about the prescription drugs that these same people eat like candy. I think the vaccine 'rebels' are mostly driven by political leaning or religion. Either way, the only valid reason for refusing a vaccination during a deadly worldwide pandemic is because you are allergic to some ingredients in vaccines and your health is already severely compromised. that needs to be verified in writing by that person's physician, a legal doctor, not a conspiracy quack.

"Anaphylaxis
Anaphylaxis is a severe type of allergic reaction with symptoms such as hives, difficulty breathing, low blood pressure, or significant swelling of the tongue or lips. Anaphylaxis after COVID-19 vaccination is rare. Learn more about COVID-19 vaccines and allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis.Thrombosis with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome (TTS)
Thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS) is a rare but serious adverse event that causes blood clots or issues with clotting. TTS after COVID-19 vaccination is rare. Learn more about COVID-19 vaccines and adverse events, including TTS.Myocarditis and Pericarditis
Myocarditis is inflammation of the heart muscle, and pericarditis is inflammation of the outer lining of the heart. Myocarditis and pericarditis after COVID-19 vaccination are rare. Learn more about COVID-19 vaccines and adverse events, including myocarditis and pericarditis.Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS)
Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) is a rare disorder where the body’s immune system damages nerve cells, causing muscle weakness and sometimes paralysis. GBS after COVID-19 vaccination is rare."I know other vaccines have the risk of serious side effects but they were tested longer and in time proven safe. No one knows yet the the outcome in 5 + years what effects people will experience. Some would rather wait and risk covid then end up with serious health problems due to the above and possibly other so far unknown effects. Not everyone who gets covid dies.
I'm not anti vax. I've had every vaccine up until these for covid.
It's a personal choice to be vaccinated or not.
I weighed the risks, then asked my doctor who weighed my risk, she advised against my being vaccinated due to my health issues.
I believe in a person's right to choose what they feel is right for them.

It's great we live in a country where we have this right.
All these concerns are rare and can occur with many substances such as MSG. If you believe you are predispose to these issue by all means do what your doc says.
Life is full of risks & its always a challenge to sort things out.
In your post (#40) you say doctors hand out prescription drugs like candy & push drugs on you. Here, you say, "do what your doc says." Most doctors will tell everybody to "Get the vaccine." When would you know when to do what your doctor says & when not to?
That's what makes it a personal decision, rather than "I got the vaccine, so you should, too."
Mistaken assumption that "These people eat prescription drugs like candy."Good post and very true about the prescription drugs that these same people eat like candy. I think the vaccine 'rebels' are mostly driven by political leaning or religion. Either way, the only valid reason for refusing a vaccination during a deadly worldwide pandemic is because you are allergic to some ingredients in vaccines and your health is already severely compromised. that needs to be verified in writing by that person's physician, a legal doctor, not a conspiracy quack.
No, only people who robotically do everything their doctor says to do eat drugs like candy.
When a doctor gives me advice, I think it through. If it makes sense to me, I take it. If it doesn't, I don't. Experience is a great teacher & it taught me well.

doctors' recommend the vaccine for most people.
When I read statistics that tell me that over 90% of the deaths from Covid are in unvaccinated people, I think the medical advice is pretty much of a no-brainer. I agree with Seabreeze, this is politically/religiously motivated, and all the other nonsense being introduced to justify the suicidal noncompliance is just a collection of red herrings, to deflect attention from what the real argument is.
Any sane person with normal intelligence by now should have seen the writing on the wall. Period.

The antivax truckers up in Ottawa and other areas along the border are shutting down commerce and causing people to lose work. Businesses have closed because everything has come to a standstill and factories are stopping production.
We already have an auto shortage, which is driving up the price of cars. Ten year old cars are selling for more than what they sold for brand new!
These self-centered, pretentious antivax truckers have been convinced that vaccine mandates are the equivalent to being sent to the gas chambers in Nazi Germany. Or at least that's their premise. It could be that they just want to tear down the entire social structure because they hate humanity. They're anarchistic misanthropes.

Sane people with normal intelligence think for themselves & make their own health decisions & don't ridicule others who make a different decision than they made.
Such behavior not only shows their lack of maturity, it also shows their lack of confidence in their choice to get vaccinated.
