The both times I got Covid was after flying in an airplane. I think the airline industry needs to clean up their act and get cleaner standards.
You would think that alone would stop the shots. Sadly it hasn't yet.And apparently deadly for a lot of young people.
Yes, they did have to rush to get some protection available, overall, I think it has been a benefit. Just like the flu vaccine, covid vaccines, IMO will require yearly checks and updates. Covid has proven it is as elusive as the flu virus, they both keep evolving and will have to adapt to the changes. With those two I will continue to boost and change as they do as I age.Interesting that so many people that have double vaccinations and boosters are still getting the Chinese Virus? Does anyone else find that curious? Not aware of large numbers of people that have been vaccinated just once for pneumonia, smallpox, TB, or polio and subsequently coming down with the disease. A few, yes, but not like the masses that have been vaccinated and added a booster and still get the Chinese (Virus) Flu.
My father, MD student in that old country treated Small Pox patients, what little then medicines could do. TB, and whole bunch more. He himself got an initial cowpox vaccine.Interesting that so many people that have double vaccinations and boosters are still getting the Chinese Virus? Does anyone else find that curious?

I've found that vaccinated people are often in denial of what they don't want to believe - that it's a useless vaccine.Interesting that so many people that have double vaccinations and boosters are still getting the Chinese Virus?

They want to think they made the right decision; the smart decision.
I'm not vaccinated. I had Covid 3 weeks ago - also the "mild" case we're told we would get if we were vaccinated. It was no worse than a typical chest cold. 3 days of weakness & aching, & coughing for a few more days.
But I'll say this: If I chose to get vaccinated, I might say "my illness was mild due to the vaccine." Of course I'd be mistaken, but I'd have no way of knowing that. And the people who pushed the vaccines on us know that.
I am glad she is doing well, but I would argue that she may have done better without the inoculations. This is the first time that I am aware of that people with multiple inoculations still get the disease. Is it possible the shots actually weaken the immune system? Multiple athletes are dying. Vaccinated youngster are having issues, some are dying. It is just too weird in my opinion. I would not get another shot under any circumstances. And yes, I had the dreaded Chinese Virus, at least according to the government issued Chinese Test kit that showed a positive reading.My wife and I have had four inoculations against the virus, yet celebrating New Year's Eve, we must have come in contact with a carrier. It hit me like a heavy cold, three maybe four days of misery then gradual recovery. My wife though, came so close to causing us the gravest concern. She's asthmatic, the virus went straight onto her chest, her temperature rose to alarming heights, she was taken to hospital, there she was somewhat stabilised, but who knows? Now, after a very worrying five days, she is recovering. My earlier thoughts about the vaccine being nothing more than a placebo have given way to, the inoculations had given her the resistance to fight, and overcome, a virulent bug, that might have otherwise have killed her. It hasn't been a very pleasant week.
I agree. It is a personal private choice.It is a personal choice, I understand that. Did you take the normal childhood vaccines? Did your children take recommended vaccines? I am not saying either is right or wrong. I just know I had all the normal vaccines as did my son. I have taken the flu vaccine for about 35 years. I did not get the flu but only colds. My sister who did not get a flu shot, got it every year and also is very prone to strep. I have never had strep. When the Covid vaccine came available she was the first one in line.
Again, I understand this is a choice, that we all have to weigh the benefit and risks on not only vaccines, but medications, surgeries, cancer treatments etc. We never know what we will decide until we are in that position. This is more than true as we age. At a certain point the risks and options we have weigh heavy. We have to make choice that will end in our death but the time we have left will be without great pain or illness until the end. It is a coin toss but it is our coin, our toss. Everyone should always have a choice.
Friday (D5) feeling much better. Drippy nose. Some coughing, A little weak. Lost another 1#. Line is still blue.1st occurance of Covid. I think this new variant is extremely contagious. Recommend that you don't get caught in enclosed spaces without ventilation and without a mask. I think I caught it at coffee shop when I had coffee with son on Saturday.
Currently on day 4 (thursday) of onset of symptoms. Monday (D1) afternoon felt tired after walk and napped for few hours- stomach churned all night. Strong "line" and strong symptoms on Tuesday (D2): only slight fever, was mildly achy, sensitive skin, no appetite, slept a lot, cough, and extra blankets. Wednesday (D3) lessened symptoms, appetite returning, more waking hours but still slept 18 hours on/off, bowels moved. Thursday (D4) up and about but nothing doing nothing-took a shower, eating more soup but with more solids. The line is getting fainter. I think I retained the taste and smell- just not up to eating much, lost 3 pounds.
extremely sore diaphram-
Afraid wife will catch this. She is a very bad patient.
Fully vax with boosters and co-variant. No regrets for getting the punctures.
Getting vaccinated is just a first step. As variants appear boosters are developed that are aimed at specific variants, like Omicron. Boosting is beyond important, it’s essential.I've found that vaccinated people are often in denial of what they don't want to believe - that it's a useless vaccine.

Life would be much simpler if it was a sure thing.Getting vaccinated is just a first step. As variants appear boosters are developed that are aimed at specific variants, like Omicron. Boosting is beyond important, it’s essential.
The annual flu shot is tailored for the current flu strain, so I get it every year, but you should do as you wish.Life would be much simpler if it was a sure thing.
There are also many Flu variants. I've never had a flu shot, but 40 years ago when I got the flu, it seemed to provide immunity for all of the variants & mutations. I've never had the flu since & I've cared for many friends who had the flu - quite a bit of exposure.
If I did get yearly flu shots, I might also credit them for not getting the flu, but again, I'd be mistaken. So (for me), neither the vaccine nor boosting has been essential.

I think they are doing the same with Covid,, it keeps changing, so we must adapt, just like the flu.The annual flu shot is tailored for the current flu strain, so I get it every year, but you should do as you wish.
I am equally jabbed, and I‘ve had it twice, probably Omicron. Never hospitalized, and no sore throat, but I probably made the Kleenex makers rich. (-8I’ve tested positive for Covid three times and on each occasion it was just a sore throat and a runny nose.
I’m not sure where I picked it up from but it was whilst I was mid Chemo, so my immune system was compromised. On two of those occasions I was sent some big red tablets, not sure if they helped or not.
Incidentally I was three times vaccinated at that time, four jabs now.
