Title: Have you been vaccinated?
Post by: Lookin4_67GalaxieConv on April 28, 2021, 08:02:41 AM
Curious to know if you've gotten the vaccination yet, and if so, have you suffered any symptoms?  The consensus seems to be if you have any issues, it's after the 2nd shot.

I haven't yet, myself.  Still gathering information and want to know what short term effects there may be.  I know a lot of frontline healthcare workers didn't get the vaccine in the beginning and am wondering if that's changed?

I have been with the Moderna. The specialist that I am seeing told me point blank if you get Covid you are dead. I had to weigh the odds of dying from Covid or the Vaccine and I feel the choice is a purely personal one for a person to make. I was hesitant until my sister who has a PhD in nursing directed me to watch a doctor breakdown and explain really well how the vaccine functions. She and her husband got the vaccine long before me and they are older and fine after getting it.

After the first shot I could feel where I got it for about a day and then that went away. After the 2nd shot it was about the same and so far I have shown no other side effects even though I am truly compromised health wise right now. Will I regret getting it? Who knows but I am going forward with life and working on getting back to 100%.

i have had my shots and  i had the moderna. the first shot was the last week in december and the follow up one month later. almost everyone in my family has been vaccinated with no ill effects.

i don't take much stock in anyone who tries to tell you how most people react. i have talked to at least 100 people in depth about their reaction and have heard it all. some  feel bad right away, some the next morning and some 24 -36 hours later. some never at all. some run a low grade fever for a few hours, some for a day or 2 and some not at all. some have no effect on the first shot, some on both, some no effect on the second and some no effect at all.

my wife, my mother, my  oldest  and youngest son and i have all had moderna and every one of us reacted different.

my wife (55)ran a low grade fever and felt sick for about 6 hours the day after both.

my mom (91) went home and slept for about 24 hours after each one but never was sick.

my son (26) felt crappy for for about 36 hours on both.

my son (21) felt run down but has only had his first shot so far.

i  (55) was tired and slept all day, 2 days after each one.

my mom was not known to have covid but the rest of us did. my oldest son was quite sick for about 5 days. my wife showed very few symptoms. mostly sore throat and sinus pressure. my youngest son and i have antibodies but don't know exactly when we had it.

what am i trying to say?  everyone and i mean everyone reacts different.  for me the deciding factor is this. i know people who died from covid. i know people who were very ill from covid. i know people who still have not fully recovered from covid and more than likely never will. i bet most of us do. i don't know of anyone who has had serious, long  lasting side effect from the any of the vaccines.

is it 100% safe or effective? nope, but what is? life is full of choices and chances and at the end of the day you have to make choices and take chances or you don't have much of life.

only you can decide what is best for you but i am happy with choices we have made.

Nope, nope, and nope. The Mrs. and I are not getting the "vaccine" because we are not sure of it's efficacy or safety. I take reasonable precautions but am not going to hide in a dungeon because I might catch the virus. And if they mandate a vaccine passport then I'm definitely NOT getting the shot.

My primary sent a letter out saying it was safe, and he and his whole family had gotten it. This from the guy who complains about my triglycerides, and - after I drop them 78% with diet alone - all he can say is "they're still too high". I'm seriously considering dumping the doctor.
Ads on TV and radio are constantly pushing everyone to get vaccinated. Hollywood celebs and the most political figures are always pushing it. Just like other fake or garbage items - if they are so good why would you need to push them?

I've read about the science behind the "vaccine" and though I am no expert too much sounds rushed and fishy. I know people have died from the flu vaccine but geez too many people have gotten really bad effects or died from this shot. I'm not taking the risk.

Post by: oldnslo on April 28, 2021, 10:20:47 AM
When asking about post-shot symptoms, the first question should be what vaccine did you get, as that determines the reaction.

Mine was Phizer. No issues with either shot. Temporary injection site soreness in the arm that was very tolerable with the first shot, and not really worth mentioning. I was still able to lift and consume frosty adult beverages with that arm.

I didnt cry with either shot, they were most impressed by that display of braveness.  :o  Simply put, I didn't feel either one.

Post by: highland512 on April 28, 2021, 02:49:47 PM
No shot for me and I doubt I will. I did test positive for the antibodies so Im not real interested in it.

Dad who is 65 got both shots (dont know which one) and was sick in bed for 3 days afeter each one. He also had confirmed case of the coof via a blood test.

My 87 year old grandmother had both shots with 0 side affects. She is convinced they give her sugar water instead of the shot.

Pfizer, both shots, no issues other than tired, arm never hurt either time.

Wife , both shots Moderna, first no problem, second got a fever for about 12 hours, she was freezing cold and then it went away just like that.

I'm gonna pass if they let me. The place I work at is pretty heavy handed at these things, but I already told them that if they make me take it, that I want it on my record that it was a requirement for my employment. That bought me some time.

I'm not one of those antivaxxer nutjobs. I can see the benefits of getting vacinated for the polios and such but I want a little more time on this one before I consent to it. Just the fact that some people have issues kinda alarms me a bit. Although I do think the reason J&Js was pulled for a time was that the right palms weren't being greased by J&J.

I honestly believe that this virus was over hyped for political reasons. I remember the first videos coming out of China showed people falling out on the streets. We never had that here. it took days of lingering illness before it got that bad. Now that the protocals have been improved the survival rate has increased dramatically. My allergy Dr. and I were having a discussion about this, he was so happy that the masks mandates had kept the flu rate down but was concerned about the escalation of covid cases. I asked him to look up the hospitalization rate for those covid cases, @0% in our hospital. So yeah cases may be spiking but deaths aren't. From what I'm seeing now most folks dont even know they have it till they get tested.

Post by: skfarmer on April 28, 2021, 06:31:58 PM
i get it if people don't want to get the shot. i respect it if they have a reason. i do question some of the reasons but it is still their choice.

pretty sure my son got it at work. he is a paramedic in fargo for the largest ambulance service in the state. he was doing 5-7 covid related  calls a day. many he knew wouldn't make it. he saw too many seemingly healthy people have it bad. his advice to me was get whatever shot you can as soon as you can. i wasn't in that big of a hurry until i went on a sketchy call of my own as an emr. scared the crap out of me and decided short order i was going to get my shots.

I haven't really researched it, but can anyone tell me why it takes 2 doses?

Got my first one (Pfizer) with only a sore arm. 

My wife has received both hers (Moderna) with flu-like symptoms the day after both shots.

I received so many shots during my military time I'm probably already immune!

I've heard people saying that. The different government agencies evidently don't coordinate very well as they all say different crap all the time. I got the vaccine and had no side effects so I'm ignoring the BS going around. The only precaution I took was no Advil, ibuprofen, for a week before and the week after and took Tylenol instead. Did it make a difference? Did the Vitamin D3, fish oil, Vitamin C and zinc I take make the difference? I don't have a clue but no side effects.

...The different government agencies evidently don't coordinate very well as they all say different crap all the time. I got the vaccine and had no side effects so I'm ignoring the BS going around....

It's not that they don't coordinate, it's that they're full of inept, unaccountable, rabid lab monkeys spinning in circles throwing shit at the walls to see what the gullible masses will swallow and keep their 5 minutes of fame and glory going indefinitely.  This has been grotesquely political from the outset,  and now that Fascist Democrats are in power and installing their loyal brownshirts in those agencies they won't let it go.

As far as the vax, I have no intention of getting it, but that could always change down the road aways at my whim and pleasure.  I will not bow to baseless fear and hysteria meant only to control me, not protect me or others.  I don't race to the bathtub and hunker in abject fear for hours the moment a tornado watch is called in the area.  I could walk out the door this evening to drive over for a pizza and get creamed by a drunk driver or texting idiot - dead is dead and we're all gonna be worm food someday - I'm going to enjoy the time as best able with whatever reasonable precautions I deem worthwhile, not what some despicable lying partisan lab rat like Fascist Fauci and his Death's Head Division co-conspirators spew in an attempt to destroy what was once the greatest and most freedom loving (and defending) country the world has ever seen.

I got both shots (Pfizer), the arm was a little sore for about a day after.  My wife is a RN, and was one of the first in the area to be vaccinated.  She got the Moderna and had no reaction.  I've heard of all kinds of reactions from friends, like SK said, everybody  reacts differently.

Post by: Lookin4_67GalaxieConv on April 29, 2021, 04:50:01 PM
I'm leaning towards getting it, but have absolutely no plans to get it yearly like the flu shot.  I did get the flu shot last year because of our seven month old.  Knock on wood but she hasn't been sick yet. My wife stays home with her every day, she's not in daycare and we plan on keeping it that way.

Both of my sisters act like it's a no-brainer to get the shot, which annoys me.  As long as I feel there's more pros than cons to get it, then I will.

I am waiting till next month to get the J&J jab cause it will be 3 months sense I have had the virus. My son had it before me and had a little harsher symptoms like loss of taste and constant fever for several days compared to my brief daily chills. He got 2 Moderna shots after about 2 months and was sicker for 2 days after each shot than when he had the virus.  :-\ My wife got her first Moderna and felt nothing except shot site soreness as expected. Other son got both and felt nothing. I agree everyone is different. I am doing JJ because it’s one shot and after my son got so sick I figured I didn’t want Moderna . I get flu shots because they are free and I don’t like getting sick. (Actually Publix supermarket gives me a $10 gift card to get shot :D) I don’t fear injections at all, I am sure I have had worse things in my body. I self medicated in the 70s.  O0

ha! funny stuff and much my same opinion. i took the shots because i want to prevent myself from getting sick/sicker that i was. i don't fear injections and have probably done more damage to my body with other stuff than the vaccine ever will.

funny, i know some people who have used some pretty fucked up shit on their lifetime and some of them still do with no hesitation. for many of us, our lifestyles and issues of overweight, diabetes, stress, heart disease, alcohol  use etc. are doing far more damage that the vaccine but no way in hell are they going to get a vaccine.  :))

They have more college graduates in India  than anywhere else in the world. Thats why alot of help desk stuff gets shuffled over there. That and they work for nothing. :) The weird part of their Covid struggles is first wave was nothing, second wave is brutal. Did they let guard down or mutations?  I think they thought they were immune after the first wave it was so easy. With the population density you would think  they would get crushed.

J and J jab yesterday and I’m still alive. I just have to say if you guys are in your fifties or sixties you have been mass vaccinated with the rest of us. Obviously we lived through them and it eradicated many deadly illnesses. The problem with this virus is it was politicized from the start. I suggest anyone that hasn’t got it yet reconsider getting it.

worth quoting. I can't agree more. I think fauci is dipshit and I think both parties have done stupid things in the order of politics regarding it but in the end it is about  getting past this and minimizing future outbreaks.

Mandy asked me today what my opinion in getting the shots. I see both sides of the fence. I'm not a conspiracy nut but something that the government (or anyone ) tells me I SHOULD do, over and over again the more I become leary of it and less likely to do it.

But I also know the power of vaccines and that they do keep you healthy/save lives.

My biggest concern is the stories of heart issues after the shots. As someone with tachycardia, and a family history of heart issues I'm scared of side affects that may never even happen.


Like Mandy said we are a generation that when we popped out of the womb we were vacced for alot of things. Thanks to that we are none the wiser to serious viruses and illnesses that would take lives years ago.

I had planned on avoiding the vaccine. After developing severe liver issues, from a drug that was on the market for 30+ yrs, that was later taken off the market, because of long term liver issues became apparent after long term usage. I had taken the drug for almost30 yrs, and have developed long term issues. The thought of taking a vaccine, brewed in someone’s bathtub, less than a month ago, is not high on my list.

Over the last 2 months, my wife has had a stomach operation, with 2 further hospital stays (4 days and 10 days), on her last doctor follow up, it appears her cancer from 2-3 yrs ago has returned with a vengeance, it has gone from female related cancer, to effecting her liver, lungs and spine. The doctor advised me in her current condition, COVID could be devastating, and advised that for Her well being, a vaccine, would a very positive move on my part. So I threw caution to the wind, went to Costco’s pharmacy and got the J&J shot. My left arm and shoulder is still sore.

I feel exactly the same way.  I have been everywhere since this thing started fifteen months ago, meaning I've been out and traveling everyday, numerous stores, restaurants, etc.  Seems like if I was going to get it, I would've gotten it by now, or maybe I have and didn't know it.

Biden especially, and the rest of these politicians constantly lie.  So the more I hear them telling us to get vaccinated, the less I want to.  I'm not anti-vaccine or anything like that, but when I hear what some people experience from the vaccine, that concerns me.  I have heart issues too, and that's concerning.  Overall, I'm still on the fence.

Sorry to hear that Jack. I hope things get better for you and your wife.
I got vaccinated because the specialist I'm seeing told me if I got Covid that I would be dead end of story. I got the first shot 3 months ago and the 2nd shot 2 months ago of Moderna and as far as I can tell I have had zero side effects other than a slightly sore spot where I got the shot for 1 day after each one.

It is totally a personal choice on whether to get it or not and I don't fault anybody for their decision.

I have a real problem with big conspiracies.  Everyone in the know has to keep their mouth's shut and that ain't likely because someone always feels they are getting screwed, or get a conscience and would spill the beans.  Just not likely.

Covid is a world wide problem with governments of all flavors inoculating their people.  Just don't see how that could work in if the threat isn't real.

don't get me wrong, this pandemic has been politicized for sure, the Dems are great at that, but with the numbers dropping post vaccine as quick as they are, its hard to believe the vaccine isn't working.

Now, may there be long term side effects?  TIme will tell

Phil, I don't think anyone is arguing the vaccine isn't effective.  The question is, what else are you getting with it?

As for conspiracies, I wouldn't necessarily use that word.  Look at how the media ridiculed Trump and his administration whenever anyone countered the "Covid came from a wet market" theory by suggesting it was engineered in the Wuhan lab.  I always thought this thing was engineered and fairly solid proof of that was emailed to Fauci in January 2020 when the doctor who corresponded with him mentioned the genome sequencing of Covid was almost impossible to have developed naturally.  Fauci sat on that information and kept going along with the wet market theory.

The best part is how the media tried to cover themselves for not exploring the virus being engineered by blaming Trump..."oh yeah, because his administration lied about everything how could we take anything they said seriously?"

The more time that passes the more incriminating facts appear. Fauci's emails are just the latest. With the libtards in charge you can't be sure of anything except the march toward globalism is in full swing. The mere talk of making a non-FDA approved "vaccine" mandatory shows their hand. Which is why the jab makers are pushing HARD for full approval - while maintaining their immunity from prosecution. And I'm willing to bet kamalas FDA will eventually approve it.

Conspiracy theories? They'll always be those. The fact that all social media and lamestream media quickly squelches any discussion of Covid conspiracy's is the best evidence that there is something there. Freedom of speech is a foundation of our way of life...unless the elites determine it isn't. If mainstream shouts it from the rooftops chances are good it's a lie. Everything they beat down or ban is probably true or mostly true. Climate change, 2020 election fraud, january 6th "insurrection", the vaccine, inflation - once you have your BS meter on-line you can tell the truth based on what these lib idiots say.

I have never believed any of the Covid numbers. The PCR test can be up to 96% wrong depending on how many cycles it runs to try and detect a fragment of the virus. The Nobel Prize winner who developed the PCR said it should not be used to detect a virus. The majority of Covid cases were not doctor verified so who knows what the true number is. There is no doubt that the virus is deadly to certain people.

And is it not true you can test positive without having enough of the virus in you to get sick or spread it ?
I would not be surprised if one would test positive based on the amount they received from the vaccine.

Thats a good point Phil. My Dr had a comment to make when we were discussing the Wuhan. evidently the hospitals had almost 0 Flu cases this year. He claimed the masks/isolation kept people from getting the Flu. But is the American public receptive to wearing masks during Flu season? or would they rather take their chances with a marginal effective vaccine every year? 

My comment back was that every case of respiratory distress this year was automatically wuhan. :lol_hitting:

I am with you Phil. I just really don't get all of the fuss. It obviously works. Maybe not 100 percent , nothing does but it works pretty well. 

I hated wearing a mask but I did because it was the right thing to do. I got the vaccine as well. Not because I wanted to but because somebody had to and again if the vaccine worked, which it does then it too was the right thing to do.

I think alt the stupid stuff is stupid stuff but at the end of the all the little stuff helped us get over the hump.

I've pretty much written the government and MSM off as a source of credible information. I look at whats happening to me and mine as the determining factor.

During this whole wuhan fiasco I had 6 people that I knew, well enough to attend their funerals, pass away. Of those 6, one died of the wuhan. A high school buddies mom. She was one of the first cases in the county. A Dr. brought it in to the nursing home she was in and it took her fairly quickly. All the rest died from something other than the wuhan.

 Most of my friends are well past middle aged and live a somewhat reckless lifestyle. overweight, smoke, drink, High cholesterol, blood pressure , diabetes and all that goes with it. Basically prime candidates for the wuhan. Very few of them got it and they all survived.

 Looking at what I see with my own eyes, I'm not too concerned with the wuhan. I'm more concerned with our government and MSM mis-information campaigns.

South Central is a heavy Amish, Mennonite, bretheren etc. They are going to believe more in god then in science. And also fairly conservative area as well. Hence why we saw the Amish community get hit hard with Covid-19 because they didn't believe in any of the precautions.

At your age (not being mean) it is a great idea that you got the vacc. I don't get sick much at all which is one reason I'm still putting off getting it.

To each his own.

But the "vaccine" is STILL not FDA approved. They're fighting hard to get approval, but in the medicines own literature it says it is an unapproved vaccine. Plus the big pharma companies still have total immunity against any claims by sick or dead patients. And President Trump only gave it emergency approval because of Fauci's advice - and his recently released emails show a whole lot of culpability on his part. And of all Trumps advisors, Fauci was one of the very few not to get the boot by the Biden team. Hmmm.
Many people have died after getting the jab - but the numbers get ignored by most media because they're in on it. And of those who die after getting the shot it's never "because of the vaccine". When this whole thing started virtually every death was 'because of COVID". How interesting that the flu usually kills about 12,000 people a year - even with a yearly vaccine. Yet last flu season not a SINGLE person died form influenza. "That's because the COVID restrictions stopped it". Yeah right! I think the flu death numbers were rolled into COVID columns.

Those 60 million doses of expired vaccine are going to be given to people anyway. They wouldn't sell expired milk, but an expired experimental vaccine? What the heck! Too many things just don't add up. Every day seems to bring out more funny business. I'm not taking the stuff, even if they mandate it.

My biggest hesitation remains with the unknown.  My in-laws are 75 and 86 and I think it made perfect sense for them to get it.  With me, I'm just not at that place where I'm ready to say, let's get it.  It also bothers me how liberals and the media portray everyone who hasn't gotten vacinnated yet as a fool, idiot, Trump supporter and not believing in science.  You know who doesn't believe in science?  People who believe it's perfectly natural for a man to believe he's a woman and start calling HIM by a feminine name, participating in the delusion.  That's mental illness and I've been banned from Facebook numerous times for stating that fact.

But getting back to the vaccine, I think there's lots of good reasons to get it and lots of good reasons not to.  As long as we're free enough as a people in this country to make our own decisions, I'll continue to evaluate it.

Trucks GPS & phone providers should be separate? Blue tooth on, could tie the two to together . Works that way in the Mustang, when off the car complains location is off.

Phone using the trucks GPS, you can make phone calls without the location of the phone on. Think maps, where is my phone, and where are you apps, people use on each other.

Yes phone pings towers, but only someone with a need to know can see that.  Company phone all are bets off, but the off button serves the user well.

Couple of jobs ago, traveled the east coast. I'd be somewhere on a friday after noon. Data center at min staff, work finished want to leave early. Turn off phone and rolled out. Did that for 10 years.

I'm not naive I know this is all connected one way or another. My goal is to not make it easy.  Set up as many barriers and I can think of.

Need to find something launch the location feature, once found off it goes. We are still smarter than the gadgets we're surrounded by, off button wins every time.

From a technological standpoint I'm sure it can be done. A few years back I was at a lab that developed RFID tag technology. The state of the art back then was tags that were so small that they could be sprayed through a HVLP spray gun for really cheap mass application and tracking purposes. At the time they were working on making the RFID tags even smaller. Given that this was already viable some years ago, it's not too far out of the realm of possibilities that these days an RFID tag could be just a few microns in size and readily injectable.

Do I believe that Uncle Sam is doing this? --- No!  -- BUT, do also I believe that the technology exists to do so? -- absolutely Yes!

Industry called it "Smart Dust" --

Pull the fuse for the modem in the truck, that will kill it. Providing you're the owner and it's not a company rig. Turning it off will not affect the driveability.

Of course the geewiz door locks, maps & ect will be disabled. For updates you can choose to not allow auto system updates .

Given the uptick in infections and the delta variant I imagine more folks will get shots.

We know the vaccine works, though not 100%, the numbers prove that.  We don't know long term effects if any.  I am encouraging my wife to get it, she is on the fence.

NZ is using the Pfizer vaccine, quite a few people are saying the same thing about being very sore. I know I've been jabbed, but nothing major. The other reported side effect I've heard of, including my boss, is fatigue on the afternoon of the day after. I haven't had that.

Seems there still an lull in interest in it. Mandy is on the fence to leaning more towards wanting it but not enough to actually do it lol.

I'm off the fence but not far enough to say I'm an anti vacc. If need be I will get it. Till then I'll do without.

The more I find out about the vaccine so called - from the flip flopping of Fauci and Wolenski and others - the more I say no. I don't trust the gov. From lets "flatten the curve" to "think of others" to "you can go back to normal" (then not) to "you won't need a mask" then you do (and multiple masks are better!) to "masks slow the spread" to no they don't to "vaccinated people can't catch COVID" then they do to vaccinated people don't spread the infection to now they can to free burgers, pot, raffles, etc. to entice to now mandating more and more. Obviously it's a scam IMHO.

I can't even verify the 'shots' Biden and Camel got were real. Just read where a nurse gave saline instead of the vaccine to 300 people. Not caught till after the fact.

If you choose to take the shot then that's your choice. My choice is no.

you are correct, there is no going back but your assessment of it doesn't make much sense either.

would you stand in the middle of the road  at night with cars whizzing past you and do nothing. at the very least you would want something reflective, better yet, stand on the edge of the road or better still  move a distance off the road. could you still get hit? damn right but the chance are far less than standing in the middle of the road doing nothing.

tens of thousands have died from covid, many more will. the simple facts are that  every little thing any of us can do to slow or prevent this shit is worth doing.

i despise masks and vaccines as much as any of you do but the simple facts are that they work at preventing and or minimising the effects.  far less  risk than getting it.

i had a couple cold ones this weekend with a guy i met at the lake this summer. pretty damn conservative guy. after being very sick with covid last spring he immediately made his wife get vaccinated saying. "i don't wish this shit on anyone. he recently got vaccinated and said he felt like shit for a couple days but nothing like having covid.

At this point some of the us are doing what we can do, my point is this virus is not going away any time soon no matter what we do. Herd immunity doesn't seem remoting possible at this point. In Maine the vaccination rate is over 80% for those of us that can get it. But there are till folks who for whatever reason won't get it or can't get vaccinated. Its going to be a viscous circle for a long while .

I watched the link.  Fellow has some really good points, especially if it is true that folks have not be autopsied after dying within weeks of getting the shot.  BUT, he really made me question his bias when he said face masks do nothing.  While I know they aren't perfect and need to be worn correctly and the virus can pass through them, I have a real hard  time believing that they don't at least limit the distance the virus can travel going through a mask verses an unmasked person.

He seemed to be talking about the RMA vaccines, Pfizer and Moderna, which I have heard questioned from another source.  That is why I went J&J which I believe is a more traditional vaccine. 

Another thing I have a problem with is folks saying the media is complicit with the government on withholding info.  Yes I know a good chunk of the media is quite left leaning, but there is Fox news and talk radio that if they had concrete evidence about the vaccine being dangerous, or other shennangings going on, there ratings would soar and I haven't seen or heard it. 

People are getting quite sick, and dying from the Delta strand and the vaccine would certainly help stem that tide.

oh that is bullshit and you know it. it has nothing to do with me being bought and i take offense to your suggestion of it. you do not get to make this personal with me.  i have not and will not be bought. my point was that i had no issue with taking the shots first time around  and will take the booster  whether they pay me or not.  if  they are willing to pay me i am foolish not to take it.

i took the shot to protect my invalid mother, my immune compromised wife,  my fellow ems and firemen and the people in my area who depend on our services.

As above, I've not been vaccinated, and still dont plan to be. Long term is still unknown, so I'm not sold with all the vaccinated that still became sick. To me it is the flu, maybe a more severe strain, or not depending on who is to be believed.

That said I'm about a week on the other side of a nasty bought of diarrhea that lead to severe(their term) dehydration. I was light headed and dizzy and wasn't eating, and it was coming out.   Ended up in the er and they did ekg, and other tests(they stuck a thing up my nose darn near into my eyeball and came back with a positive for the vid). Then got hooked up on an iv to rehydrate and then a few hrs later sent home. They prescribed some nausea meds, but I wasn't nauseous so we didn't even get that filled. Got some imodium, and lots of pedialite, sugar free power ade and water. Ended up loosing about 15# but That isn't a bad thing other than the dehydration.

No instructions for the vid, so this leads me to the over blown flu from my perspective. Could it have been prevented? Maybe , maybe not, but it seems this strain affects men or males as my wife and daughters weren't affected but my son and several of my coworkers seem to have or have had the same stuff I did. 

Either way, I hope the vax types aren't affected long term with a largely untested other than on the general population vaccination. That is my main fear.

I hope all are well. I'm back to work so we will rebuild the emergency fund so we can be ready for the next hiccup.

Judging from some of the comments here and other forums I frequent, The wuhan is doing exactly what it was designed to do. Create discord and distrust amongst one another. I'm seeing the vaxxed taking up the pen/sword against the unvaxxed. Never mind that the vaxxed can carry and spread the wuhan just as bad as the unvaxxed. I'm seeing the unvaxxed calling the vaxxers guinea pigs, walking lab rats etc. even though the vaxxers are doing the socially responsible thing.

Now were seeing the boosters coming, Delta, then several other variants coming down the pipe. Seems the vaxxers will be on a booster merry go round from this point onwards. doing the socially responsible thing. When/Where does it end. From 2 weeks of quarantine to endless boosters.

I'm still a "you do you and i'll do me" type but for how long? Are vaccine visas coming. Vere are your papers? will we needs to show our papers to go in the grocery store? Will the antivaxxers be allowed to starve? Will you need to show your booster card when you apply for a job? I can see an ugly future for this country.

That is absolutely true in my experience. White women in general (not just the young) have been fed the idea that white men are oppressors, racists, and misogynists. They are indoctrinated into these beliefs by the media, their K-12 schools, and their colleges. The lefts wraps all that indoctrination BS into a nice pink wrapper and calls it diversity/inclusion.

My wife has been leary of the vaccine and went to get tested for the presence of antibodies.  She has them so apparently she had covid.  Most likely I had it too I would guess. She will not be getting the shot.

Heard of a study done in Israel that compared what gave most protection from the virus.  They studied only the Pfizer shot against having had covid and having covid and the shot.  Don't know how extensive the study was.

Most effective was having had covid and having the shot

Next was having covid

Last was just the shot which of course is still quite effective.

I haven't participated in this thread because I believe that taking a shot or not is up to the individual---at least that is the way it has been in America.  In the case of me and the wife, we are both immune challenged in a big way and in our late 80's.  Early in the spring of 2020 we both had fevers, for about a day below 100 didn't feel to good but it only lasted for a couple days.  This spring at our annual wellness doctor appointment we were tested and both of us came up positive.  So, is there any reason to take the shot?  There is considerable data to show that having had COVID is better than the shot, but having both is even better.  Now if you remember Trump pushed hydroxychloroquinine and it was attacked by (well, you know as well as me).  Isn't it interesting that me and the wife both take it for muscle cramps and have for more than 10 years.  That we have taken the shot or not is our business, not that of anybody else!  Sorry, after all the above comments by many of you I just had to put my 2 cents in.

It's interesting to me that governments across the globe are actively perusing a strategy to make Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquinine illegal for COVID treatment; yet there are respected scientists who support the use of the drugs. I'm not conspiracy oriented, but I'm sure if you follow the money, BIG PHARMA is probably pushing for the Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquinine restrictions because there is no money to made on those common drugs. If there were, they'd be pushing the stuff like gummy bears.

I had my second dose today.

I also had the second shot today.  I waited longer than the recommended three weeks before the first and the second shots because I had read somewhere it would be effective longer.

Cool Mercury, I completely agree with your statement, it's up to you to get the shot or not.  For me, I have heart issues, am over fifty, and with news of these other variants, figured it was time to do it.  Was I 100% sold?  Nope, but last thing I want is to be on a ventilator.

For you old timers who used to be on Channel 3, there was a guy named Bolster.  He started off a thread years ago about jack stands that was very prophetic...

Mock me if you will, I am NOT buying a HF jack stand, no way! I'm perfectly content to die some other way, just not from a HF jack stand. I mean, I expect my death will be on account of the Chinese at some point, but...just not a jack stand, please.

To top it off, the vaccine mandates don't apply to illegal aliens crossing the border, nor do they apply to members of congress and their staff.

Not sure why this hasn't happened, Ross Perot had a large 3rd party in Maine going for awhile and it just died out after he lost in 92. He got a big % in Maine for 3rd party candidate, I think it was 20%?

Term limits is what we need as we are 2 greedy to vote out existing congress aholes. It comes back to your congressman sucks and mine does to but once in the booth we vote for our ahole as he/she gets us money in some pork bill.

C'mon Walrus, you know exactly why.  If there's one thing the Dems and Repubs have in common it's not wanting another party to challenge them.  So they'll do anything behind the scenes to make sure it doesn't happen.  It's just like certain issues.  Both parties will use them to rile up the base and fundraise off of.

NO political position should be a career!  A 2 or 3 term limit for an individual in a jurisdiction.  The small county I grew up in had professional politicians.  treasurer 2 terms, recorder 2 terms, auditor 2 terms, & so on.  Same group always had an office in the courthouse.  Think about it, they spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to run for positions that pay well less than $50 k a year.

i am not telling anyone to get the shot or the booster.

but lets play devils advocate here. what if that same coworker got covid and was out for a long period of time?, what if that same coworker got quite ill from covid and spent time in a hospital or worse yet  died? are those better or more acceptable options?

my mother just passed away. we had an open visitation, prayer service, funeral, lunch and burial.  masks optional. some wore them, some did not. the only family who could not attend and wanted to was my unvaccinated niece and her family. they all had covid at the time and also were unable to see their grandmother and great-grandmother before her death  for the same reason.  they  were dead set against the vaccination but i bet if you asked them today their answer would be somewhat different.

to the best of my knowledge we did not cause or have a super spreader event because of it. i am thankful for that.

If I thought the jab worked I would certainly take it. but if it worked there wouldn't be a need for the mandates to get the jab. It would simply be a matter of those unvacinated clowns will take themselves out of the gene pool. But just like the covid, its hit or miss whether it affects you or not. The jab isn't inherently safe. there have been many people affect more by the jab than the govt lets out. Why do you think they get a pass from any liability.
I know as many jabbed friends who've died from covid as un vacced who've survived it. so the jab doesn't work for everyone. I'll take my chances with a virus that may or may not affect me over taking a RNA modifier that may or may not work AND may or may not cause me other issues.

True, but there's so many variables involved.  Ironically our country's supposed expert on Covid, Fauci, apparently had a role in its development, as did our government.  The government has lied to us so many times about this virus.  Now we have a liar in chief that is never called out by the media and you don't know what to believe.

This thing was politicized in April, 2020, when they started reporting "minority communities are disproportionately affected". After that, I knew the media would be pitting straight white males against everyone else.  Like they always do.

I made the decision to get the vaccine but if I hadn't, it would've been made for me.  Which I fully believe to be unconstitutional.  I don't begrudge anyone who has chosen not to get it.

As to the mandates, while I agree they are unconstitutional, it may be the only way to get the virus under control and get back to normal.  That is the problem with how divided this country has become.

Don't underestimate the lengths greed drives people to go. Be it massaging the numbers, to our right making the numbers up to push out as news.

 I don't believe it works or at least we don't have near enough long term testing to be able to make a statement like that. There are places that claim to be highly vaxed yet they have the highest number of cases while other places(Florida) go opposite.

Just like the electric car green crap they are pushing. I'm not convinced we as humans are causing any kind of weather or other change. Plenty of data that goes both ways. Who to believe? I guess it is hard to go against clean air and water but to out and out lie with the studies sure does make me not believe that and much else that is put out as science.

My biggest problem with this whole Covid mess is that the government claims that the vaccine is the only answer. They totally ignore natural immunity gained by surviving Covid. They have outlawed in some states prescribing Ivermectin or Hydroxychloroquine and other drugs that do seem be to be effective in treating and reducing symptoms. The media is very complicit in deriding these treatments as quack and ineffective with Ivermectin being called such names as pig dewormer.

Until the government backs off their gestapo approach to this situation and allows alternatives to the vaccine it will not get any better. Yes, follow the money.

It is disinformation to ridicule people taking the pill form by calling it a dewormer. Ivermectin was not developed as a dewormer but to treat parasites in people. I have used plenty of it on horses myself and probably have some expired stuff down in the barn.

The Govt doesn't allow all kinds of drugs to be used. Money is always a factor in every decision made in this world. If some reputable scientist could explain to me how a parasite drug kills covid or some how boosts your immune system to kill covid I'll listen, until then its social media spread lies.

Well, one example is using minoxidil, developed to treat high blood pressure, now sold as a hair growth or replacement treatment.  No idea about killing parasites but a lot of drugs are developed for one treatment and subsequently found to be useful in treating entirely different ailments.

I agree with that, some drugs developed for other uses have been tried on Covid, I haven't heard of one that really works after trials were set up to test their ability at slowing down or killing the virus.

That's exactly what we thought symptoms we've all had a dozen times before. Mandy woke up with a fever and her office told her to get tested. That's only reason we got tested. We figured, it would be alot worse then this.

I guess knowing we have it, is safer to others. If she didn't get tested I would have just kept going to work through it.

Yes, it seems that there's a new strain of this China virus every week, and your previous vaccinations don't work on the new threat. The government's solution is to keep pumping you full of juice as each new variant is identified. That policy in itself borders on insanity, yet many people will just get in line and let themselves be repeatedly jabbed without any second thoughts whatsoever. --- CRAZY!!!

Since Abbott came out with the anti-mandate we've been spared for now. I found out today there are <1500 people in Texas who have the certifications to do my job.

I've always felt that when the good Lord was ready for me he would come get me. If he means for the wuhan to take me out then it will be so. Why fret about it.

Got my results back, negative. 

Jabber, I absolutely think its wrong to be forced to take the jab of a vaccine that is basically experimental.  That decision should be ones own to make.
I don't regret my decision for the J&J but it was my choice.

Slip Knot, whether you get the shot or not will have no effect on your time to go home, but doing things to stay healthy will make the wait more pleasant :)
That's why we don't live on donuts and fried foods, especially as we get older (said the formerly fat man)

I am ready to walk away but it seems the supreme court won't make that necessary. I figure I can find something with a company with less that 100 employees that doesn't require it. I don't do the flu shot and certainly won't be doing this experimental vax. Maybe In a decade or two when it has played out the side effects. I just can't see how it has an upside for a virus that has an incredible recovery rate. Not saying it doesn't take people or that is isn't real but near as I can tell it is maybe one step up from the flu.
Not telling anyone not to get it or not to wear a mask. If it fits your activity, you do you. Stay home if that is more your speed. I'm not living in fear and if that takes me I guess that is the way it is.
I do hope everyone is washing their hands and keeping their distance. Eating well and getting plenty of rest.

i am not for telling anyone what to do or mandating things.

but on the flip side i totally disagree about it having an incredible recovery rate.

my wifes cousin lost her husband to covid on christmas day and  damn near died herself. they  both had health problems. their son, 42 years old with 10 kids  and no health issues however was not so lucky and died on december 30, less than a week after his father. his whole family ended up with covid, none of them vaccinated. i know, i went to his prayer service last night.

i doubt they consider it highly recoverable and only slightly worse than the flu.

my son, a paramedic in fargo, stopped by last night after work. once again he hauled multiple covid patients. one of the first questions they ask is are you vaccinated. he has not transported a vaccinated  patient that does not have some sort of preexisting  condition.. something in the neighborhood of 9 out 10 are unvaccinated and the  1 in 10 are vaccinated with preexisting.

all i can tell you is what i have seen first hand with my family. take it for what its worth.

my sister in law is a RN in a small rural hospital, she just started doing Covid patients, 100% of the patients are not vaccinated, just a snap shot in time but...

I am sorry for your and anyone else's loss. And I'm glad we can disagree and not have it be the end of the world.

Unfortunately with life, we get death. This isn't to say that a vax might not prolong a life, but I'm still of the belief that there are underlying heath issues that the rona brings to the surface. The fellow at my work that passed was over weight and his father had passed not long before he was hospitalized and put on a ventilator. There were other cases where the individual was of advanced age and it was hard on them. but they are back to work. The flu produces similar results from my experience and what I have observed.

I'm still not convinced that the virus wasn't engineered to "cull the heard". I'm a tin foil hat guy and make no secret of it. The crazy stuff the likes of Bill Gates and others put out as fact or even just their opinion are pretty scary to me. To think the world is over populated and that a govt body would get to decide who stays and who doesn't goes against everything I stand for.

There is a reason for our constitution and our forefathers thought it out pretty well. I, for one, am glad they did.

As far as the 100% patients being unvaxed, give it time. As these boosters get situated, I fear a compromised immune system will allow for plenty of the vaxed to come down with the virus. It has already been shown that the vaxed can and do transmit the virus. SO, if you are vaxed why are you so worried about the rest of us?

https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/13/politics/supreme-court-vaccine-mandate-covid-19/index.html
As above, I'm glad we have a constitution and three branches of government where each  rides heard over the other two to keep things somewhat honest.

If the fear is so great stay home, get your supplies delivered. I cant do it, I'm just too hard headed.

I'm sure of it.  There's been no evidence to indicate otherwise.

Is there any doubt that for the finite resources the world has that the world is over populated? I'm sure Bill Gates has enough money to do whatever he wants but I think Mother Nature will drop the population sooner or later without his help.

How does one make the determination that the world is overpopulated?
Golden rule pretty much gets people a get out is jail free card or at least they can buy their way past an awful lot of setbacks. One of the tenants of a guy I once worked for was that if he could write a check to solve the problem it wasn't a problem at all.

I am glad the SCOTUS saw fit to uphold the Constitution for us commoners. I do for see a health care worker shortage at an even greater level. Too bad I guess. Rules for thee but not for me as it goes as the post office and others have exemptions.

I am looking forward to a better summer though the inflation hurts.

Here is an interesting site. You can see the number of adverse reactions, deaths, disabilities and life threatening illnesses reported for each batch of the vaccines. This information is taken from the VAERS reporting. Your vaccine brand and lot number are on your vaccination card.

Not buying the world is overpopulated.  We continue to get more efficient at growing food, stretching fuel, building more homes, etc.  God has given man the brains to overcome obstacles as they crop up.  Not saying we won't have problems but we have always figured a way out, through or over anything that has come at us sooner or later.

Now can we get along? :))  Well that ain't happened yet and likely never will.

As to the finite resources, we will never run out of oil, we will only run out of cheap oil.  As the price goes up, other fuels will replace it.  When price of anything gets too high, a substitute will be found at a more reasonable price or we will adapt to doing without.

One example of finite resources changing.  They used to cry about how much paper and wood we used.  No forests will be left.    Well the industry adapted and it is now sustainable.  may not be cheap, but we have it.

Having traveled to many 3rd work countries and seen massive overpopulation first hand i'm on the side of too many peeps on the globe . Then factor in the scary population growth facts .
Doesn't make me feel too good about the future.

India, China and other countries in South east Asia, 3 or 4 maybe 5 billion mouths to feed? Not overpopulated, wait till we have a bad growing season. Some kind of virus hits the crops not ever seen before. Drought or floods. The world is on the edge.

Walrus, I get your point but hasn't this alway been the case in some pockets of the world?  The next catastrophe devastates a population.  My point is, mankind finds a solution and recovers.
