Fact:

The unconscionable politicizing of Covid killed a lot of people.

Thankfully it was a mild case and we are both glad we took the vaccine.

Glad to hear you and your wife are fine.

Thank you. Luckily it was only a few months ago and was a fairly mild variant.

Dr had us take paxlovid and while it helped with the symptoms did get a mild case of rebound covid.

With hindsight would not have done anything differently

Yes, how "biased" of them to cite the CDC's actual documents in that article.

Here is the link to the CDC they noted in the footnotes. Perhaps you can show us what they mischaracterized.

Summary of Guidance for Minimizing the Impact of COVID-19 on Individual Persons, Communities, and Health Care Systems — United States, August 2022 | MMWR

It doesn't seem to matter any longer if something is true or not. We do not like what a paper reports, we attack the paper not the content. Over the past twelve years we have witnessed the total loss of faith in news, and government organizations.

Hope you feel better & your husband remains virus free.

Thank you. I was fine even with Covid. It was milder than a mild cold and I never lost taste and smell. Hubby tested each time I tested and he remained negative the entire time. I tested negative on day 11 after my initial symptoms and tested negative again 48 hours later. These home tests are great and insurance pays for them.

I hope everyone is ready for the latest Covid booster shots.

No need to worry. They are perfectly safe. They were tested on 8, as in less than 9 and more than 7, mice.

8 mice.

Best of luck.

I had reaction to first 1/2 dose of Moderna. So forbidden to receive any other dose. Then again I was exposed for more than a year, on a daily basis, never testing positive. Must have been all the fruit and veggies I ate from our garden without washing gave me a super immune system.

The very newest Covid Booster was released yesterday 9-7-22. Wife and I both got our shots yesterday but really out of protest. If we were not going on a Mediterranean cruise where Spain is requiring boosters, we would NOT be putting this unknown into our body. It is like they are holding a gun to your head and saying do it or else. It is obvious that we want to travel pretty bad.

Thanks. I'm due for my Moderna booster in December. I will be getting it for sure. Funny story about the mice, BTW.

Have you checked with your Doc about Novavax.


Novavax'''s COVID-19 Vaccine: Your Questions Answered > News > Yale Medicine

"The Novavax vaccine is a traditional one compared to the other vaccines. Its technology has been used before in vaccines to prevent such conditions as shingles, human papillomavirus, and DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis), among others."

Funny because it's true.

Funny people have no problem having others take the risk for them in clinical trials.

This release is similar to what the U.S. has done when ordering influenza shots for decades.

Except it's not... The flu shots are not approved via "emergency authorization"...

Emergency Use Authorization Vs. Full FDA Approval: What’s the Difference? > News > Yale Medicine.

"How does the EUA process differ from the full FDA approval process?

Amid the myriad paperwork/administrative differences between the two options (more detail below), there are two standout differences—and they have nothing to do with the scientific rigor of the trials.

For an EUA for a COVID-19 vaccine, for example, the FDA requires that at least half of the clinical trial participants be followed for at least two months after vaccination. For full FDA approval of a COVID-19 vaccine, participants are followed for at least six months.

The full approval requires more data about the vaccine-maker’s processes and facilities, including inspections of manufacturing plants. "
