Covid Vacs

when working in the oilfield i had a colleague take the vacs, three days later he was rushed to the emergency room on his death bed.

Myocarditis, he was off work three yrs and today he is still not able to work only light duty and for a few hours a day.

As great a thing as some people say the vaccines were, to many it wasn’t

And sure this was not a one of

So when I post something it from my experiences

You're not wrong but you're choosing to ignore? The bigger picture. Out of how many total vaccinations were debilitating side effects confirmed?

I'm sure the same was said about the polo vaccine, the measles vaccine, the vaccines we take to go to Africa, etc. Or do you believe no one has side effects from those?

That’s a point that nobody can answer. Nobody is going to know the truth or real numbers

Yep, but have all your neighbours fallen over? Are the schools empty? Airport has been full in all my trips since covid. I go to Eaton entre every other week, it's slammed on a weekday at lunchtime.

Proof is in the pudding.

I was told I'd be dead within 6 months of taking the vaccine...still alive, same as everyone I know that took it.

As for those that didn't, I attended at least one directly related funeral.

100% anti-vax family and the father died from COVID. They were begging the doctors for trying anything. Invermectin, vaccine, anything...anything to let their father live.

Unfortunately it was too little too late.

Now that entire family is 1000x anti-vaccine because it didn't help their dad.

I think what happened there is something that wasn't seen in "our lifetime".
This level of danger hadn't happened in almost over 100 years (ie. spanish flu)

To fix it, tech that hadn't been put out to the public was deployed. This was a change. People resist change on most days so i don't know why we expected any different.
And there's been a climbing mistrust from big corps and govt / authority over the recent years.
Then you add side-effects that were "expected" but then you have people who didn't want to take their chance with it.

We've seen side-effects in the family. We've seen covid deaths in my acquaintance circles. And now everybody mingles almost like nothing happened. Barely any testing for it is happening. Did we reach herd immunity? I don't think so as we were told we needed 90%+ with full shots. But here we are!

I'm washing my hands a bit more frequently

and yes to keeping up our boosters
We've never had Covid and thanks to very restrictive lock downs....Australia has one of the lowest fatalities rates.
When I got here in Jan 2021 there was only 7 fatalities in Queensland and covid was a non event. I still clearly recall hesitating when my doctor reached out to shake my hand. Had not done that in 2 years.

There’s no shortage of studies out there on vaccine efficacy and yes, even side effect statistics for those who wish to read them.

Same. I remember reading on FB how we were all sheep and we were going to all be dead or debilitated in horrific ways in the months and years ahead.

But, geez, it seems that was just ********. 13.6 billion shots given to date, and around 70% of the world population has received at least one dose.

By the initial logic the globe would be a vacant wasteland after around 6 billion people would have died.

Clearly not reality.

Covid has mutated its way into a much less virulent situation. Now for most reasonably healthy people in the not-elderly segment it’s basically a bad cold or flu now, not something that will put you in the hospital on a ventilator anymore. It still has pretty bad effects on the elderly or immunocompromised, which is why boosters are still commonplace in those segments of society.

We should be glad it mutated weaker, not stronger.

Life goes on.

That’s a great explanation. Thank you

ToSlow · Monday at 12:52 PM

I can definitely say Covid was real.

I had it late 2019 before they had even named it.

The sickest I’ve ever been.

was one of those that would wake up and not even get out of bed. Just roll over and go back to sleep This was for two days straight.

If anyone wants to see a perfect example of people that can't let go...I invite you to the intersection of Hurontario and Burnhamthorpe on any given Sunday.

I'm personally of the opinion that at this stage...being anti-vax, anti-Trudeau (I'm not a fan of his), and being anti-establishment has become nothing more than a community. People found these fringe communities, have embraced it, and embraced their acceptance into it...and now have nothing else to go back to, or be angry about...so they continue on.

The 'rally' used to be much bigger, but they still show up like clockwork every Sunday late morning / early afternoon.

Totally, it's just wild how society changed from March 2020 onwards. Only to come back to being 99% the same from late 2023 onward

If they had motorcycles they could hangout at timmies instead...

To Slow> I had it late 2019 before they had even named it.

really?? how would you ever know it wasn't just a bad case of influenza?

Younger adults can get very sick and die from COVID too. Here’s what the data tell us

It seems things have shifted slightly since earlier in the pandemic. A growing proportion of people hospitalised with the Delta strain are aged in their 30s or 40s.

theconversation.com

Long covid continues to be an expense to health systems now - friends of mine remain disabled from it.
New cases of covid generally are not fatal but the virus remains around impacting people and killing a few.

ToSlow · Tuesday at 7:53 AM

Exactly there is no record, but they already had an idea they just didn’t name it.

That was late 2019,

i think early 2020 they came out with a name

I had it late January 2020. Lasted two days, came on hard day 1 and by 1am that night I had to sit on the edge of the bed and try to calm myself down, catch my breath and it was a near thing for me to wake the wife and get her to take me to the ER. About an hour of that and it eased, by next day it was gone. I've recalled this before but for the sake of conversation, I couldn't really smell anything 12 months, then six months of aggravating and strong tobacco and woodfire smells that I felt like I could taste. My sense of smell still comes and goes, day to day.

And that's why I knew it was no regular thing. When we started hearing about Covid-19, I was pretty sure that I'd had it and the long effects convinced me. I've had it 4 times since, I believe it's been Omicron variants all along, as I went a year without catching it again.

When i came out of the mine site. I had a really dry cough for four days, not really feeling sick. When it really hit me it was the worst I’ve ever felt. After a couple of days feeling like crap i started feeling fine just a little tired for a wk or two
