Sweepings off the factory floor.............

I spent my teens in Jacksonville, Florida, and there was a Maxwell House Coffee factory there.

You could smell that coffee roasting for miles..................

Never had covid AFIAK (never tested or vaxxed).

Early on there was research showing that tetanus vaccines seemed to reduce change of covid infection by 15%-25%, or so. I had a recent tetanus booster so I had that going for me.

Also, I read a study that indicated that persons infected by the common cold coronavirus were resistant to SARS2 as well. This was a smallish study (still waiting for the FDA or big pharma to fund a larger study...) but none of the subjects that had been exposed to common-cold coronavirus in the past got covid.

“...twice as likely to never get sick...”
Can someone express this differently? Maybe in a mathematical formula?
The sentence structure is horrible, etc.
But I don’t know what they mean.

I was in the hospital getting a Quad By-Pass when CoVid first hit in early 2020, well before any vaxxes were available.

They gave me a standard flu shot, a pneumonia shot, and I think a tetanus shot.

Still get the annual flu shot in the fall.

I have never had so much as a sniffle from a cold in the three years since.

Plus I take D3, 2000 IUs every day.................

A great question. The women I noted in my response #8 below, not getting Covid in spite of living with those who did, were/are descendants of the upper UK and Western Europe.

They are fair skinned, blonde or ginger hair and basically very healthy women. None are overweight.”

Fair skinned blonde or ginger-haired people are also more likely to carry some Neanderthal genes.I am a blonde and never got Covid although my family and everyone I know got it.

Maybe those genes have had longer exposure to all kinds of disease than the later groups of people.

You are describing an almost textbook scenario of what happened on the Diamond Princess.

Yeah...struck me as weird way to phrase it as well.

How about: Half as likely to ever get sick.

There is also the scientific fact that people’s immune system is suppressed do to these conditions:

Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID). This is an example of an immune deficiency that is present at birth.

The immune system can be weakened by certain medicines. This can happen to people on chemotherapy or other drugs used to treat cancer. It can also happen to people following organ transplants who take medicine to prevent organ rejection. Also, infections like the flu virus, mono (mononucleosis), and measles can weaken the immune system for a brief time.

Your immune system can also be weakened by smoking, alcohol, and poor nutrition.

AIDS. HIV, which causes AIDS, is an acquired viral infection that destroys important white blood cells and weakens the immune system. People with HIV/AIDS become seriously ill with infections that most people can fight off.

Indeed. I worked right through this ‘’pandemic’’ in a hospital ER. Was exposed, officially four times.

Night after night for two years and I didn’t get so much as a sniffle.

The moment I saw Nancy Pelosi getting her hair done during the ‘’lockdown’’ I knew this was all bs.

Out of fear (a bad motivation) of the U.S. and others inacting a travel health id card system (did not happen thankfully) and denying air travel to people without it, i got the 2 dose Pfizer MRNA jabs, but not the booster. I did not get the booster because not far after the 2 Pfizer jabs a very, very, very, very, very latent nearly non-existent autoimmune disease in me - psoriasis - blossomed all over my body.

I found in white papers on the early clinical trials that this was possible because of the vaccine because’s of vaccine’s over abundent manufacture of the Covid spike protein, it very well would over excite the immune sustems production of IL-`17A (an interlukin) which is one of the overactive immune system cells that kicks of the psorriasis.

I did not talke the modern psoriasis meds as they usually suppress the immunde system too generally. I did not take steroids in injection form as they too can act on too many different cells. I fought it for over half a year with heavy, heavy, heavy applications of cortizone creams applied while literally scraping the plagues off the skin, to get the cream working down into the skin. It was one of the longest medical battles I have ever waged.

For me the idea that the mRNA from the vaccine hung around for quite awhile, was a given considering how long I had to battle the psoriasis before it went back to its near life-time dormant stage.

The only two people I know who got very bad covid postive illness both had had all the shots and all the boosters and then later got Covid and became very ill - and they were otherwise heatlhy before that with none of the usual comorbidities.

I did not wear a mask except the short time it took to clean out my desk at work when I retired in nov ‘21. The 2 story building was nearly empty that once had about 300 people there. Only the admin people and front desk person wearing a mask and some payroll people were there and the payroll dept had people with and without masks...

I have not had the sniffles for several years going back prior to march 2020. I take zinc and vitamin D3 and the B vitamins. I have ivermectin pills as a backup.

My 34 year old nephew was killed by the vaccine last sept 2022 in Minnesota where the doctors would put cause of death but it was found the CDC would change the code so it would not say the vaccine.

It would be interesting to know what part of the world these HLA folks’ predecessors came from...Northern European? Mediterranean? Where?

If it weren't European, they'd say.

Please post a short history of what happened on the Diamond Princess.

Thanks

“I haven’t heard about tetanus shot preventing severe covid 19 infections.”

There is a lot of fairly good data on protection after a Shingles shot.

Share:

Shingles vaccine linked to lower risk of COVID-19
People who were vaccinated for shingles had a lower risk of COVID-19 diagnosis or hospitalization, according to a Kaiser Permanente study of people ages 50 and older. The research was published December 28 in The Journal of Infectious Diseases.

“Our findings add to a compelling body of evidence that some vaccines may provide some protection against unrelated infections,” said one of the study’s co-first authors Bradley Ackerson, MD, a physician at the Kaiser Permanente South Bay Medical Center in Harbor City, Calif. “Bottom line, our work highlights the importance of keeping up to date and receiving all recommended vaccines—including COVID-19 vaccines.”

Recombinant adjuvanted zoster vaccine (RZV, brand name Shingrix) is recommended for people ages 50 and older to protect against the disease shingles.

Previous research had suggested that certain other vaccines—including a tuberculosis vaccine and flu vaccines—may not only work against the specific diseases for which they were designed, but also against unrelated diseases.

“Our thought was that the shingles vaccine could potentially ramp up the immune system in a way that would also protect against COVID-19,” Dr. Ackerson said.
