Estrogen is more protective immunity wise than testosterone...And on the whole, men suffer Covid virus worse than women.

For the same reason though, the opposite is true regarding vaccines. Men suffer *less* side effects than women.

On the other hand, flu shots often contain elements aimed a Coronavirus based flu. Getting that shot this fall after taking the mRNA COVID “vaccine” may be the last shot you ever get...aside from the formaldehyde IV.

Interesting.

Can you fill in more information?

COVID is now an industry. Those within the industry will always say the most advantageous thing to keep the industry going strong.

When I saw my doctor she asked if I got my second pneumonia shot. I said no. She said OK. She asked if I got my flu shot. I said no. She asked why. I told her that I figured that if I had to wear the mask for COVID that the mask should protect me from the flu too. She sat there for a while just staring at me and said “get the flu shot because if you get the flu and COVID at the same time they will bury you”. So, I got the flu shot. At no time did she ask me or recommend that I get the COVID vaccination. I’m 66 with asthma so I have been eligible for a while but have no intention of getting it. She is very pro vax and if she thought the vaccine was a good idea she would have said so. She didn’t say a word.

Some more long stares and she said “you have mild osteopenia so double your D3 and start sitting outside in the sun everyday. She said to wear my mask if I’m in crowds but try to stay out of crowds and if I have to be in crowds be sure to stay away from people that are not wearing a mask because the mask is designed to keep you from spreading it to someone else and isn’t as effective if you are the only one wearing it.

I haven’t told this in here because of all the hate for people that choose to wear them but my sister recently had COVID. She had a really mild case with the worst part being not able to smell or taste. She works with two men. She and one man drive forklifts and load a truck. She faithfully wore her mask but the two men didn’t. They aren’t required here. The truck driver got COVID first and gave it to my sister and her co-worker. Patty was barely sick (masked). Her co-worker ended up in the hospital with pneumonia (no mask). The truck driver died (no mask).

She and I figure but can’t prove that her mask kept her from getting as large a load of the virus as the other two so....no, they won’t prevent infection if others around you aren’t wearing one but they could prevent as bad of an infection. The two men were healthy as far as she knows and not elderly. As far as I’m concerned I’ll follow my doctors advice and wear mine and the haters can go pound sand. It’s not about proving a political point with me. My sister said she will continue to wear hers and will NOT take the vaccine. Neither will I.

Your balanced perspective is reflective of the silent majority of common sense minded folks around the nation (and world) regardless of political affiliation.

So sorry to hear about that truck driver :(.

I’ve had the flu shot 2 years in a row and first time ever not been sick

Been in the hospital once or twice each year because I feel so awful with lungs on fire, can’t breathe, aches and pains.

Then the effects have always lingered for months.

Thank God for making me finally realize I needed to end my yearly suffering....

Yeah, I didn’t read the article :)

As a note, I mentioned to a doctor (I work at a hospital) that men seemed to be getting it worse than women. He said ‘yeah, I’ve been thinking maybe we should give the men a dose of estrogen’. LOL

I’ll read the article in a bit - just saw the title getting ready for work.

Did your doc also tell you you need K2 with D3, and you need magnesium for ostopenia? No? Ignorant, doc is.

You might want to read the Israeli study. And then see for yourself what the actual appendix data supports. Especially starting at pg 23 of the appendix where they show you the actual difference between a million vaccinated and another million unvaccinated.

I’ll give you a hint, not much difference, but you really should read it yourself.

Maybe a flu shot keeps you from getting the flu which is apparently being misdiagnosed as covid.

Why would your sister continue wearing a mask when she is now recovered and immune from having Covid?

Because a friend of ours had it twice. Must have been two different strains. She (the friend) was in the hospital with pneumonia the last time. There is too much unknown about this virus and the shots. I don’t want either if it can be helped.

She doesn’t know I take the Zinc/Quercetin but I take D3, Calcium, Krill Oil, Magnesium, a daily vitamin, and B12.

The flu shots are only a crap shoot on the current year’s variant of the flu but somehow it helps with covid which doesn’t work much for covid.

“They” sure are wanting to jab everyone with whatever they can.

I know and a flu variant is obviously not a Covid variant but something about the vaccine mechanism in general *might* be of good benefit for immune system overall regardless of pathogen.
