Anyone wants to risk a bet on the eventual number of sick people? Dead people?

Genuine question given most of us are hardcore anti-Covid-vaxx...if you knew that taking the vaccine would've kept your taste and smell in tact when you got Covid, would you have gotten it?

100% no once data came out about heart issues. I have genetic BP issues. I'm young enough and healthy enough that Covid won't kill me before a car crash does. Death from Covid or from the vaccine are minuscule, but not worth it in my world.

The smell/taste is coming back. Not at 100%. The ongoing fatigue has been the biggest bitch. I have a board meeting at 7pm central I'm doing remotely. After this comment I'm likely taking a quick nap. I've already taken one today. When fully awake I feel great. Then the fatigue hits after 4-6 hours of being awake. It's not painful, but I legit have been close to falling asleep standing up.

If I was symptom free because of the vaccine, I'm still not certain I'd take it. And that's not a dig at anyone that took it. My own wife did and almost all my peers have. I have trust issues with the medical field. Especially with something rushed through so fast, even by a POTUS that I liked. I don't get good vibes.

Ripped off from Toyotanation:

My recent experience with the hospital:

My wife had to go to ER 2 weeks ago. Horrible headache, thought it might be stroke. Turned out to be a pinched nerve in the neck.

RN Are vaccinated?
Us No
RN Do you have any Covid symptoms?
Us No
RN logs wife in as a Covid positive case. No Covid tests given.

Us Why was she marked as Covid positive?
RN We enter ALL unvaxxed as Covid positive.

It’s official — I am a Covid conspiracy theorist. Aren’t we all, at this point?

When I used to share my forbidden opinions about the virus and the vaccines, acquaintances called me crazy and friends thought I was joking. They’d cry that surely I don’t really believe that the vaccines could affect my fertility, or that government officials wouldn’t just allow us to return to normal if we all got the vaccine, or that Covid hospitalization and death numbers could be artificially inflated.

But with every new admission from the CDC, every study and piece of reportage, we “conspiracy theorists” are vindicated. And everyone who mocked our distrust of public health officials is eating crow.

I wasn’t always so obstinate about the pandemic. I naively trusted that “fifteen days to slow the spread” was a temporary measure meant to protect our families and avoid overwhelming hospitals. As soon as the government started to shift the goalposts so they could continue the lockdowns, I realized that I had allowed myself to be duped. Never again, I vowed.

As it turns out, aggressive skepticism and even outright disbelief of everything the government tells you during a pandemic is a pretty reliable policy to have.

The idea that the virus was engineered and either intentionally or unintentionally leaked from a Wuhan lab went from a conspiracy theory to regarded by scientists as the most likely scenario regarding the virus’s origins.

Hydroxychloroquine went from “fish tank cleaner” and ivermectin from “horse dewormer” to potentially effective early Covid treatments. A deep dive into the data will eventually prove that hundreds of thousands of lives could have been saved through the use of therapeutics, but that wouldn’t have made as much money for pharmaceutical companies.

Women who were worried the vaccines could affect fertility were called crazy, but now the public health regime admits there can be “mild” and “temporary” changes to women’s menstrual cycles from the mRNA vaccines. How long until we learn those changes aren’t so “mild” after all and could have long-term effects on women’s reproductive systems?

Government scientists screeched at young, healthy people not to return to normal because they would inevitably die from the virus or kill others. Now, we know that incidental asymptomatic spread is not a threat to others and that the vast majority of people who have died from the virus were elderly and/or have multiple other comorbidities.

Those who warned that the vaccines weren’t as effective as they were made out to be have been denounced as anti-vaxxers and a threat to public health. CDC director Rochelle Walensky now confirms that the vaccines don’t stop people from catching or spreading the virus, undermining the entire case for vaccine mandates. We learned pretty quickly after their emergency approval that the efficacy of the vaccines wanes over time. Pfizer’s CEO, in a video that’s oddly been removed from social media, admitted that two doses of their vaccine isn’t enough to combat the omicron variant and even three shots only offers “decent” protection against hospitalization. The European Union recently warned that constant booster shots could even weaken the immune system and advised against a fourth jab.

We weren’t allowed to question the death and hospitalization numbers. Yet that narrative started to crumble when the Cuomo administration in New York was confirmed to be fudging its data on nursing home deaths to save political face. This past weekend, the CDC director indicated that data would be forthcoming on how many Covid deaths were “from Covid” and how many were “with Covid.” This would mean that some portion of the nearly 900,000 people we were told died from Covid may have just tested positive when they were hospitalized with other issues.

How can you watch all of the “conspiracy theories” about Covid come true and not consider yourself a “conspiracy theorist”? Isn’t it rational to reflexively distrust the people who have repeatedly lied to you? Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.

MSNBC:

When Daniel Storm found out he had Covid-19, he was shocked. He had been so careful, barely socializing and always wearing a mask whenever he left the house.
His PCR test results arrived by email on Jan. 8. As he stared at the word “positive,” Storm, 52, of Wilmington, North Carolina, said he felt angry and disappointed.
Then, relief washed over him.
“I feel like I’ve been kind of walking on pins and needles, like omicron is everywhere,” Storm said of the hypertransmissible Covid variant.
He had received his Covid vaccinations and booster, but he has been terrified he might unwittingly pass the virus onto someone more vulnerable. Getting the news about his case — which ended up being an asymptomatic one that he discovered by testing on a whim — enabled Storm to isolate at home and then feel more relaxed, both for himself and for those around him.
“I feel even more protected now,” he said.



HE FEELS EVEN MORE PROTECTED NOW!!!!!

Storm said of the hypertransmissible Covid variant


It is no more or no less transmissible than any other Viral variant. Why everyone is catching it is because, when people get it, they aren't even sure if they have it, or their allergies are acting up. Then once they do get tested, and know they have it. One half of the day, you seem perfectly fine, and think that it is over and has ran its course. But then later the rest of the day, you feel malaise and fatigue. But then the next day, you feel perfectly fine again. Many may have it the full course, and never even suspect that they have it.
Everyone is out and about with it, either oblivious to the fact, or don't give three shits that they have it.

The previous variants, when people had it, they were too out of sorts, to be out in public with it, everyone could spot them a mile away as being sick.

Odds are that he got it because he is vaxxed. The vaxx makes you more likely to catch it.
