And even though there are a whole bunch of them here on the island they have moved here to get away from the liberal idiocy. In the last election this county voted nearly 80% for Trump, even though lots of escapees from the northeast live here.

For the same reason I had it before, and never had any symptoms other than lost taste for a day. Never even knew I had it...until someone said that was a symptom.

I'm not afraid of any variant...not afraid of coof period. I personally know more people that have died directly from the vax, than people dead from coof.

I wouldn’t want to meet anyone in person who thinks it’s funny that people get COVID. Jeff’s way of starting the discussion just hit me wrong.

With that said, if I was under 50 I probably wouldn’t have gotten the jab. From what I gathered from statistics, the vaccine my not be the right choice for younger people. The risk/reward came out in my favor for getting the vaccine.

The vaccine is not new and is not a cure all. Many vaccinated people will get COVID just like many vaccinated for the flu will get the flu.

From the Chief Medical Officer at North Oaks Hospital: they are seeing an increase of hospitalizations. Of the few COVID deaths recorded, none are among the vaccinated. Older patients, who have been vaccinated, are doing better than unvaccinated patients.

Does a mask help? Maybe a little, but not enough for me to wear it. I was in charge of support for the mask sizing and certification software at a hospital. Masks have to be properly fitted and nurses certified in the proper use of masks; at least at the hospital I worked at.

Anyway, according to a doctor in Canada, I will be dead in 3 years so I at least bought myself some time.

Well, I'm still convinced I caught something from a recently vaccinated person, although that has already been dismissed by this peanut gallery as 'just a cold.'

Having said that, the fleeing TX Democrat legislators, 56 of them, after flying maskless by private jet, have had 6 people pop hot for Wu flu.

They all were fully injected.

Did you get tested, or just self diagnose?

Get the jab - may still get covid (delta or other)
Get the jab - still wear a mask
Get the jab - risk blood clots etc
Get the jab - become a case study in the huge experiment
Get the jab - cannot donate convalescent plasma ( the jab destroys the antibodies)

Don't get the jab - may still get covid (but I already had it so I have natural immunity)
Don't get the jab - still wear the mask
Don't get the jab - eliminate jab related blood clots etc.
Don't get the jab - don't take part in the experiment
Don't get the jab - donate plasma to help others

It is very logical to choose NOT to get the jab based on the facts above. For someone that has already had Covid, what is the jab upside?


EDIT: The American Red Cross’ current policy is to only accept convalescent plasma donations from people who have recovered from COVID-19 and have not had the vaccine.

Did not get tested. To quote a leading stateswoman of our time, "What difference, at this point, would it make?"

But I wasn't in close proximity to anyone else for at least a few days before I rode with my employee, so where else could I have caught it from, assuming symptoms develop within a week from exposure.

Also, I hadn't been sick otherwise, the whole time this has been an issue.

Everyone was concerned. We all sent each other PMs to see if anyone knew about any good stuff you had that would become available. Sharing is caring.

Just asking a question. What's interesting for the last 18 months is that nobody, and I mean NOBODY, gets a cold or the flu any more - everything is COVID even if not tested for COVID.

You had 9 posts in that thread; 6 were humorous and off topic.

You didn't even care about yourself, but you got Lakota desiring you ATM.
