I communicated with gd early on during the Covid wars (on FR).

I explained, via Freepmail, why I was unvaccinated, and chose to be in spite of my age. I had good health, a robust immune system, nad was hesitant to be a guinea pig with a first generation vaccine.

He did not agree with me 100%, but shared that he considered my position to be a solid, and sane one. He also shared that if I got Covid, I should move directly to taking Monoclonals, and as quick as possible.

My wife and I got the Cv, ironically from our vaccinated kids, we both got the treatment. My symptoms were fairly mild the whole time (including before getting the anti-bodies). My symptoms were actually milder than the rest of my family, and there has been no visible long term effects for me.

I have been in disagreement with gd in a fair amount of areas, but have never seen him as a shill for anyone, simply as an earnest advocate.

My position is simple: Based on what I have read, the shot might be okay for some, particularly those at high risk. Other than that, my take is it hurts more people than it helps. In that, we disagree, but he has never been anything but civil to me, and helped me with a good plan for treatment prior to my getting covid. For that, I was thankful to him.

That’s fine, as far as it goes.
I’m glad you and your family did OK.

My disagreement is elsewhere, as I have posted on this thread to him directly.
