“Freepers who think it cannot kill are absolutely nuts”

I concur.

I am unvaxed and currently recovering from covid pneumonia. Spent a week in the hospital. I am 58 and live in the country. Off the top of my head I know of at least 20 neighbors, friends and relatives that got it over the past 2 years.

Myself, a life long friend and my first boss all were hospitalized. I was discharged last week, my friend has been on a ventilator since before Thanksgiving given a 10% chance of making it. My old boss, 80, died on the 22nd.

I know of two coworkers family members, both males in there 40s, that were hospitalized, one died and the other spent 8 weeks on a ventilator and finally pulled through.

I know of two, a HS classmate and a 65 year old friend of a friend that died after getting the 2nd shot, one was a few days after the other never woke the next morning after the shot.

So personally I know of one dead from covid and two from the vax.

It is real and no joke.

I had it for 10 days before it got bad and turned to pneumonia. I deer hunted for the first 7 days and never really felt that bad until I did.

I give credit to God and one doctor at UPMC that treated me for saving my bacon. The doctor put me on a 10 day course of Dexamethasone and one IV treatment of Sarilumab. The first medication is a steroid and the 2nd is intended to treat rheumatoid arthritis and consider an immune modulator but being used in clinical trials to treat severe covid. My understanding of this drug is it tricks or modulates the body’s natural response to the infection which reduces inflammation (in the lungs). I could tell with a few hours that it was doing something.

I will remain unvaxed with confidence that my new found natural immunity is a much better option. But this is serious sh!t and nothing to discount. I recommend everyone get an oximeter and seek medical aid if your 02 level drops to 90%. Without the oximeter telling me things were not good, I would have never gone to the ER and more than likely croaked in my recliner in a state of happy hypoxia.

That last sentence tickled me...lol

You were smart.

Covid has a low death rate but it does kill....no question

I take hydroxchloroquine now for my rheumatoid arthritis....I wonder that’s why it’s effective against Covid as well

Like the second drug you took..

UPMC is a good hospital
