Everyone I know has gotten vaccinated, everyone I know has gotten Covid. Luckily, no one had symptoms worse than flu-like for a day or two, and then some odd lingering things like Covid tongue. (It’s a thing. ?)

I still think much misinformation was given out in the beginning and then never corrected. I hear stories from people who “know nurses” in NYC and say they were told by these front-line people all sorts of horrific things. Like so many people were dying they were piling dead bodies on the sidewalks. I guess the refrigerated trucks all ran out of space. And it remains a political divide…the more the person hated Trump, the more horrific the stories are.

What a lesson in how people believe what they want, myself included.

1. before I figured out i had it i gave it to people (didn’t matter that i was vaccinated).
2. It was a not great time of the flu for sure.
3. I got the regeneron that they are providing at camping world stadium and I almost immediately felt better. I was without symptoms in hours after that.
4. Every single person i know feels the same way about the regeneron.
5. I am convinced it would have been worse for me if I wasnt vaccinated. Dont know if Im right but the feeling i get.

Again if its all the same why isnt it simply my choice on the vaccination front? Also why is this regeneron product not a national priority.

Maybe because we have people who dont like America and when covid is a manageble flu then we have to get back to the principles of freedom and capitalism that provided the blanket of comfort by which people had the luxury to not like America. Just a wild guess.

‘I need to take your vaccine that doesnt work, because your vaccine doesnt work?”

THIS below could have been said in March 2020, August 2020, January 2021, or last week.

“We have a surge. People are hospitalized, people are dying. Most people with Covid have flu-like symptoms or less.”

So what is the bleeping point then

I am having a really hard time buying into the narrative that the vaccine is saving people from severe effects of Covid. Everyone I know that got Covid before vaccines were available had the same severity of effects that vaccinated people are getting now.

I have been vaccinated and will get the booster. I feel, better safe than sorry. But, I don’t know what to believe with this. Too much of it doesn’t make sense.

I’m glad to read someone else had my thoughts. City of WP is requiring all city employees (500+-) to submit proof of full jab by Sept. 15. If the number is less than 65% jabbed (random ratio with no health organization backup to lean on) city commissioners will hold a “Special Meeting” to decide next move. If you can’t get jabbed on religious or medical grounds, you need proof. Overall, no jab, weekly testing for the non-jabbed. If you get covid, stay home with no pay. If get jabbed, the taxpayers will pay you $150 and give you a day off. Oh, it’s “entirely voluntary”.

Personal rights matter unless they don’t fit your politics.

Same thing the other way every child life matters but you cant make me wear a mask even if it saves one life because of my freedom.

This pandemic exposed that we are all hypocrites in that we just want what we want and will find some logic and some report of data to back it.

I still cant understand the vaccine mandate argument – If you can still get covid and spread it if your vaccinated then why isnt it just a personal choice – in that if you think your safer then get the vaccine and if someone doesn’t its on them. If you cant get covid and spread it then also why do you care (and why do i need a mask if im safe)
