I’m 67. My parent’s generation all knew people who died young. We are so blessed that so few of our friends and relatives have died young. I think us boomers lived in a golden time where medicine was available and worked. Government has meddled so much and world events are such that the golden years are morphing into. If not lead, then brass.
I’ve had an ex wife and a childhood friend hospitalized with covid... my 27 year old daughter had it when she went into the hospital to give birth to my granddaughter... for her it was just sniffles. So far no one I know has died from it.. knock on wood...
The bottom line is that it isn’t a ‘pandemic’ (look in a dictionary) and never was.
We were lied to so that the left could break the global economy, which they did.
A young 37 year old guy we know did not have time to get Ivermectin and vitamins before his wife took him to the ER. Once there, Doctors forbid Ivermectin and vitamins in favor of Remdesiver and vent. He was dead within 2 days
My 97 year old, double vax’d, father in law, just beat it with only one night in the hospital. Was in severe bodily pain, but no respitory issues.
Most of my family, including myself have had COVID, but none of us had a bad case. Most of us are not vaxxed.
I don’t know anyone personally who has died of COVID
Son #1’s girlfriend’s good friend died of a heart attack after he got jabbed.
I am sorry for your loss of a coworker who you apparently barely knew. Is there some reason that you had the time to post a vanity but have been unable to answer any of the questions about the details or even thank well wishers???
You have been here since 1999 and know the drill. If you post a vanity, you typically participate in the discussion started.
Mr K (not the one on this forum) probably had it right at the start of the outbreak but not sure because, like me, he avoids doctors’ offices so he never got a test. He was sick for about four days and missed two days of work. He wasn’t seriously ill but he felt bad enough to be off work. (He has to visit multiple locations every day in his job and work around large numbers of people in malls, offices, stores, etc.) Then a few months later he was sick again for a couple of days, not seriously. He figures at least one of those times he had it.
I have not been sick (except from a hangover once in a while) in years. I haven’t had any sort of symptoms. I avoid doctors’ offices and settings where there are sure to be sick people. My last doctor visit where I had any sort of exam was in 2001. (Oh, I’ll make an appointment with a doctor one of these days! Stop nagging me! I feel fine! Just waiting until the “pandemic” is over, after which I’ll find another excuse.)
My mom, who I haven’t seen in more than 10 years, told me over the phone she had been very ill with it AFTER being vaccinated. She also expressed she had had what sounds like a reaction to the vaccine, although she got angry at me on that conversation and we’ve gone back to not speaking. She’s still alive, though. No one else in the family has died or she would have told me, or so I suppose.
Recently a WHOLE BUNCH of staff were out sick at Mr K’s work (it’s a construction company). Some of them had SARS-COv2 and they were quite sick, but all have recovered and gone back to work. He said he has not noticed an absence of people with whom he regularly interacts, such as office and apartment managers, except that a lot of people are working from home so the offices seem a bit empty, though no one has died. His boss (almost 90 years old) had something like pneumonia and was hospitalized some months ago but it wasn’t SARS-COv2.
I find that I’m getting angrier and angrier at people such as Andrew Cuomo - all those nursing home residents DIDN’T HAVE TO DIE and he should be held accountable.
Me too - today! 1st person I know died today.
A strong Christian - he is with the Lord. Rejoice.
These are the interesting threads.
There is contrast with other threads, where no one has died and it’s all lies and a DNC/govt plot and conspiracy that somehow extends around the world and no one in Russia has died, either.
But when a freeper offers up personal experience, it gets interesting.
I know personally of 2 deaths. Both over 90. Comorbidities? Pretty much everyone over 65 has a comorbidity. The only comorbidity that matters is . . . over 65. No point in delineating further.
One of the two was sis in law’s mother, age 90, vaxed, tested positive during the Delta months. I’m told her passing was ugly. Relentless weeks of fighting and lowering blood oxygen levels.
The other was a few weeks ago. Good friend of decades. Age 91. Retired anesthesiologist. Fully vaxed, Pfizer. Vax about 3 months old. No signif side effects for him. Covid arrived and killed him in less than a week. He had prostate cancer. Cancer is, of course, the ultimate comorbidity, but he had his for 20 years, watchful waiting, stable PSA. Cancer had nothing to do with his death, but the comorbidity worshippers on FR will persuade themselves otherwise.
I was surprised it got him. He was mobile, a bit cavalier about avoiding people, but fully vaxed and still went to the gym now and then. But when it arrived he was gone in just days. Not much a vax can do about 91.
Not much anything can do post 65. If you get it post 65, you face the odds. Period.
I’m sorry for your loss. I only know one man who passed a few months ago, in his 70s. I don’t know if he was vaxxed or not. He started going to our Orthodox church because we didn’t adulterate our practice (as it should be if we truly believe in the Faith).
From what our priest tells us, he was tortured in the hospital prior to death. They didn’t even allow last rites or the Sacraments (Confession/Communion). We pray for him and with him as if he were a martyr. He is a good man.
I’m sorry for the loss of your friend.
I’m sorry for the loss of your friend.
Sorry to hear. We know about 6 or 7 who died.
We also know a few who had it and were hospitalized and now fine.
Some of our friends had it but no issues
I suspect the wife and I had it based on the symptoms but never got tested
Both of us are vaccinated
If they are vaxed it is more likely due to the vaccination than COVID virus
I had a similar experience with man-made climate change. It finally affected me personally over the weekend when we had snow flurries right in my back yard.
For years I have heard about the climate changing but this time it piled up on my patio and I had to shovel and everything.
This isn’t a political post about climate change - I just felt like sharing.
I have 2 people in my small circle of friends that have passed away from the vax!!
Because all the facts are never released and are intentionally covered up, we can NEVER know if someone died FROM Covid or WITH Covid. (I’m DONE using all caps for Covid).
The financial incentives alone make it likely to get a “FROM” Covid determination.
We need complete transparency. FULL details. We’ll never get them, so much to hide.
Unfortunately, I’m up to 6 I’ve known who died, including my Uncle.
