Respectfully disagree. Marine1974 response was to Eldiablo whose whole first paragraph was ridiculing folks who actually take their health and efforts to protect it seriously. To me, that indicates lack of compassion.
Read both again and see if you come away with a different opinion.

You are a smartmanaboutown!

Those who are at risk need to take precautions. Since they took some parts I was fond of many years back (including part of my lung), I do what I must to be as safe as possible. I would never ask to shut down the economy for me and those with issues such as I have. There should be no arguing, name calling, insulting each other. Take care of yourself. If you think a mask helps, go for it. Same with the shot.

Eat what you like. I prefer omnivore. Hope you won't mind.

You know when they started saying it's not meant to prevent you from getting Covid? After they found out it doesn't prevent you from getting Covid. I had a lot of friends lose their career over not getting a vaccine that, ultimately, was found to not prevent infection nor transmission.

Being someone with a bit of biology background, I'd also argue that it has become less virulent as a normal evolutionary trait of viruses, rather than vaccines having any effect. I know a few unvaccinated that have gotten Covid recently and their symptoms were about the same as vaccinated.

I reversed my Type 2 pre-diabetes. I corrected my hypertension. I corrected my high cholesterol. All from keto/carnivore diet. When life expectency was 33 they didn't die from heart disease. They got eaten by lions and died from infections, or other non cardiac events.

Excellent Attitude. I fail to see how anyone could criticize you for your view. My doctors and I decided against the shot, you decide to get it, God Bless. Stay Safe and be happy.

Rich, my business partner died at 58. Never had a heart issue prior to the covid shots and every booster that came out. He was fanatical about being first in line to get every shot available. Cardiologist saw some previously undiagnosed issue and scheduled him for an outpatient test. His wife was out of state so I went with him to the hosp. He never came out. Not alive. Saying "stay safe avoid the shot" would be as dishonest as saying "stay safe everyone get the shot". Take your specific variables into account and make your own choice.

You corrected high cholesterol on a red meat diet? You a super human!

And He also created us with the ability to think, to research, to help each other….

True words. Much easier on the ego to seek out allies for your particular point of view than to admit to being bamboozled.

Extending that out a bit...what good does it do, really, to publicly cling to your fears no matter what? Of course COVID is real. So is chlamydia, leprosy, diabetes, flu, Alzheimer's, etc. etc. The best thing to do in all cases is to adopt a dispassionate approach, take common-sense precautions and go on with your life so far as you are able. Who really cares if everyone else agrees with you? But just from my own experience: I've seen a guy at Costco in Altamonte Springs go into screaming hysterics at the sight of another customer whose mask had slipped down below is nose, another guy at a supermarket back in Minnesota loudly and publicly berate the store manager for not completely sanitizing every grocery cart prior to it's next use, one guy in a foursome we were in long after mask-wearing became optional becoming upset because we were not wearing masks and he was, etc. etc. My daughter (a nurse in St. Paul, MN) knows several people who a couple of years back got themselves tested almost daily at medical facilities in the area (which were consequently so backed up with The Fearful that people who really did need medical help had to wait, sometimes to their significant detriment). But the one that most sticks in my mind was a guy I encountered at a driving range in May 2020. He had his son with him and they were going to hit some balls. The guy's son remained in the car while the guy, wearing a mask of course, went to the owner and demanded a spot on the range as far away from other patrons as possible. Not a problem because there were only a couple of other folks there, but until the guy got his wish his son remained in the car, and then both stayed as far away from other patrons as they could. I knew the owner and mentioned that it was kind of odd. The owner, who apparently knew the guy, said that that incident was nothing: the guy had kept his family basically sealed in their house since I believe February, doing all the shopping, providing homeschooling for the kids, etc. etc. The outing with his son was the first time the kid had been allowed out of the house in months.

I've often wondered if fear of COVID is/was at least as destructive, if not more so, than COVID itself. And people who are looking for allies to validate their own fear certainly aren't helping much.

Excellent post. The fear & anxiety in society was debilitating. I was sincerely hoping it was all over, for good. (At least for this time).

Go for it. Wear your mask and get shot #10. Covid is much like the flu and it’s not going anywhere. Hope the OP gets over it quickly.

Choose the topic and you'll find the same reaction from MANY people. They cannot conceive of the possibility that they could be wrong :ohdear:

I am not super human. Meat is not the problem. You must be living on old news. Sugar and carbs are the cause of most all our woes.
