For the unvaccinated for covid 19. A short question.

I remember make-shift morgues in hospital parking lots collecting the bodies of the unvaccinated.
I'm no expert but that seemed like a bad sign.

My nephew, an RN, worked a NY Covid ward in 2020. He sent me videos himself fully outfitted in PPG (he looked like an astronaut), and of lines of patients on ventilators and myriad IV lines, and talked of the horror of so many deaths.

Some people might say that was all phony baloney, but it most certainly was not. I mentioned the 2020 Covid era to my GP recently. He cast his eyes down to the floor and said quietly, "Those were very dark times."
 
I got Covid before the vaccine hit the market. My administrator called me one night and said not to come in because I tested positive for Covid. Coincidentally, my husband got sick the next day with Covid. I must have gave it to him because I still worked and he rarely left the house. I was bedridden for about a week and a half with it. It didn't affect my husband as much as it did me.
I took the first vaccine and the second follow up one because I didn't want to expose my husband to it again. I did get Covid one time after being vaccinated but the symptoms were not near as bad as they were when I had it the first time.
Now fast forward... I had two brothers who were against the vaccine and refused to take the vaccine. One died of Covid Sept 2021 and the other died of Covid October 2021. Would they have still died had they taken the vaccine? We'll never know.

I worked in a nursing home and 11 patients died from Covid. Another nursing home in my county had 17 deaths. Covid was real.

I had the opposite but similar experience to you with regard you and your husband. I'd just taken early retirement in 2020 so I was at home but he was going out to work, so he brought it home with him, he was sick for 16 days..really poorly, and he gave it to me, and fortunately even tho; the first 2 days were like nothing I;d ever experienced before and I was very ill.. I was over it in a week.

I got the vaccines almost immediately, and then the follow up vaccine a few months later..

My husband ( now Ex) otoh didn't bother with the vaccine, despite how ill he had been.



Very sorry to hear of the loss of your brothers, very sad !..:(
 
We moved from a town of 115,000 plus people in
Texas to a town of 700 in Kansas,... we stopped vax then we moved here that was almost 3 years ago. Never would of dreamed getting it here,
 
I received every covid shot and didn't care what people said. I chose science instead of the podcasters and listeners with no healthcare experience. I know who died of covid, and others who got covid and became very ill. They changed their attitude.

I lost my best friend that I have known since middle school days to covid but he wasn't exactly a picture of health at the best of times. He never got the shot. We had all our shots, it doesn't prevent covid but the science of it says it pre-programs your immune systen to hopefully make any illness a milder one. It helps prevent serious illness and death which sounds good to me. I am a firm believer in science especially when it makes sense to me. We listened to a podcast put out by some serious, well known virologists and from that information we made our choice.

My wife eventually got it anyway and it was mild. We lived in the same house and and I took care of her and we both wore masks. I never caught it and so far I have still not gotten it. We are flying to California for the winter and just got our boosters last week. I have no problem with people who do not get the shot. Everyone is responsible for their own lives and their choices are nobody else's business.. I expect the same in return.
 
It's my understanding this years strain is immune resistant so at this point they are unsure how bad this years surge will be.

Already seeing a case of it here and there in the ER.

That is true up to a point, but there are times when the well being of the entire population is at risk so the calculation changes.

What does "this year's strain" refer to? The vax or the disease?

Of course they're unsure, how could anyone predict what dot gov will do these days wrt to vax availability besides create chaos.

The covid not the vaccine. I am not gonna comment on the government cuz that's not what my post was about.

For anyone who decided the covid 19 vaccine was not for them for whatever reason, did your relatives and/or friends ever apologize to you for any social mistreatment because of your unvaxxed state?

None of mine ever did but no one shunned me or excluded me or even argued with me about being unvaxxed so I think I must fortunate in this. :)

I cannot recall talking with 'anyone' I know, except my doctor or my wife', about if I am vaccinated or not for anything. End of discussion...

Are you referencing capital punishment or the Holocaust? Either way...

:) I don't remember, StarSong. I was just being stupid. I think I was referencing MoBeans' remark that "choices are nobody else's business".
(Child abuse, murder, for example, are choices, and are everybody's business.)
