Vaccine is amazingly effective!

There is no reason to connect his weight loss to the vaccine.

If your husband is losing weight for no reason he needs to see a doctor immediately. Unexpected weight loss is a symptom of many serious conditions. I hope you get some answers.

She died from weight loss or an underlying condition that hadn't been diagnosed?

She had a scan, and they found a spot on her lung ......she had chemo and radio, but died 6 months later

I'm so sorry for the loss of your cousin, @charry. It's terribly sad to lose people we love.

Sounds like small cell lung cancer. No cure.

“Why do people who were vaccinated still get the virus?”
His answer was something like “Because the Delta variant is not constructed the same as the first variant was, which is what the vaccine was designed to fight against using the immune system."
Yet I've heard health officials say that the vaccines would be effective against the Delta variant. There's conflicting information coming from different health agencies and it seems to change a couple of times a week. I'll be looking into claims that the number of breakthrough cases has been under reported as were the number of deaths from the vaccine. But for now, I'm SO saturated with COVID stuff that I'm taking a break from it.

Yeah and here’s another point of view to at least consider. How do these variants become variants? What I have read, there are two ways.

One way is by the virus continuing to mutate by reproducing itself, but to do so, it must be done in a host and guess who the host is? Once in a host, the virus continues to replicate itself until a change in the structure happens.

The other way is for the virus to be manipulated or engineered. This is called “gain of function.”
So, if (a big if) someone is manipulating the virus, this could go on for years. Supposedly, when this version of the coronavirus (COVID-19) was discovered, some scientists believed that this virus would burn itself out in about six months. Now, it doesn’t look like it’s going away anytime soon.

Interesting Oldman. The virus is doing what viruses do....mutating. I expected that would be the case when we first heard about COVID-19. Why people of science would expect that the virus would "burn itself out" is beyond me. The common cold didn't and viral pneumonia didn't. The outbreak of SARS "caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV or SARS-CoV-1)" per Wikipedia took place in 2002. According to the NIH "Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that usually cause mild to moderate upper-respiratory tract illnesses, like the common cold. However, three new coronaviruses have emerged from animal reservoirs over the past two decades to cause serious and widespread illness and death."
We still don't know the real story of how COVID started. Again...I've seen more conflicting information from those who we should be able to trust to disseminate the proper information to the public.

I have my own theory where COVID-19 originated from and how. But, the truth probably won’t be known our lifetime.

I have reason to connect the two. Before I was vaccinated, I had a good appetite. A few weeks after, I had no appetite. Like I said, maybe it's my age, but maybe it isn't. After blood tests, a urine sample, an EEG and an abdominal sonogram, my doctor had no explanation for it.
