And once again, why don’t they ever mention the millions of Covid survivors who are immune from the virus? It’s like we don’t exist just because we don’t find it necessary to subject our bodies to an unapproved vaccine when we already have immunity.
“the chances of being hospitalized are zero”
Anyone who says that is an idiot or a liar. Biology does not work in such absolutes.
“why don’t they ever mention the millions of Covid survivors who are immune from the virus?”
Good question. Government messaging has been atrocious.
There have been very limited attempts to determine overall population exposure or the state of natural immunity.
When they said, for the vaccinated, “the chances of being hospitalized are zero,” they didn’t consider the effects of people having a suppressed immune system. What causes immunosuppression?
*Age. Our immune systems become less effective when we become elderly.
*Persisting (chronic) disease. Immune systems tend to become less effective as certain long-term illnesses progress. Examples include severe chronic kidney disease, chronic liver disease and diabetes mellitus.
*Malnutrition.
*Medicines for illness caused by the immune system attacking itself (autoimmune conditions). Examples include rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn’s disease.
*Medicines in the form of oral steroids for conditions which result in inflammation where treatment is needed to reduce inflammation.
*Medicines taken to prevent rejection in people who have had organ or bone marrow transplants.
*Chemotherapy or radiotherapy treatment for cancer
*Cancers. Certain cancers can cause immune suppression, particularly those which involve the blood cells which are so crucial to our immune system. Lymphomas, leukaemias and myeloma are the cancers which may suppress the immune system.
*Not having a spleen, due to it having been removed. Or having a spleen which does not work well. This can occur due to certain conditions such as sickle cell anaemia, thalassaemia major or lymphoma, or after radiotherapy.
*HIV and AIDS. The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) affects the immune system.
*Rare genetic conditions which result in loss of immune function - for example, severe combined immunodeficiency syndrome (SCID), DiGeorge’s syndrome, Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome.
I would hope those experiencing COVID symptoms, even though they were vaccinated, get treated with something like Ivermectin or Remdesivir as soon as possible.
