I never caught chicken pox as a kid. I will never be thin....some people can eat as much as they want. I am also allergic to bee stings....I assure you that if we both get stung, what will happen to me is far worse than what will happen to you.

Regarding your claim that you have never had Covid even though you were exposed to it several times.......it is possible you did contract Covid and were asymptomatic. Actually, anyone who claims they have not had Covid may have had asymptomatic infection.

The one time I did have Covid, my symptoms were a dry cough that lasted about a day and a half. That was it. If it weren't for the fact that I had just gotten home from a week cruise, I never would have tested for Covid. But I did test because I just got off a cruise ship. I was positive for Covid.

Asymptomatic infection is just that.......no symptoms. You may have had it.

Leave, no RUN from any type of COVID vaccine, is my best recommendation!
MS RN 50+ years

More misinformation in this post. mRNA vaccines do NOT effect DNA in any way, shape or form.

The statement went something like this......."No one protected anyone with the vaccine, NOT EVEN THEMSELVES". That is what I referred to as BUNK. You know better than that.

You didn't quote the post you are referring to. Which one?

Interesting, but it has nothing to do with the post I was questioning...

Probably one of my posts...

Well, considering the patient who gave me Covid died, I would suspect he had a high "viral load"...

Which again, doesn't explain why my case (pre-vax availability) was so mild...

Oh, and the patient was an uncontrolled diabetic, morbidly obese, former smoker, with breathing problems.

He also refused to go to the doctor or the ER when he got sick... Lest you think it was his lack of vaccination that killed him...

What we do know is that the vaccines been given to millions of people, are safe, and very good at preventing serious or fatal cases of Covid. The risk of serious side effects from these vaccines is tiny, similiar to what would be expected with any other vaccine. And it gives some protection against long Covid. I have 2 friends who contracted long covid as a result of infection before shots were available, and it has changed their lives forever. But the Covid virus mutates and new strains are circulating that our previous vaccinations aren't going to be effective for, like what we experience with the flu. The population will need periodic boosters. You get an annual flu shot, right? Your doctor is recommending a Covid booster. Try listening to him or her.

Then you should definitely get boosters once or twice a year, if this is your opinion. My doctor advised against my getting it. That, along with my research led me to decide against getting the shot and subsequent boosters. Not arguing that you shouldn't get them, again your choice. What should be agreed upon is that public officials need to be more prudent in what they say. The amount of harm done by calling one view conspiracy nuts, only to reverse what you said a year later irreparably damages the trust people have.
