Today we were at the funeral of my husband's best friend, Ted Humphrey. Ted was not vaccinated, but his wife was. She recovered; Ted developed Covid-pneumonia and blood clots in his lungs. He died Monday. Ted had no comorbidities, was a healthy, active 71 year old.
On September 11th, my brother and sister-in-law tested positive for Covid. My sister-in-law has fully recovered, but my brother was admitted to the hospital last Saturday with Covid-pneumonia and blood clots in his lungs. He is 58 years old, has no comorbidities, goes to the gym several times per week, and maintains a healthy weight. They were taking all the vitamins, zinc, melatonin, and etc. Two days ago the doctor sent him to the ICU where he was placed on a ventilator. He has issues with air leaking out of his chest cavity, neck, and face.
The day before he was taken to ICU he texted the following to me: "I will NEVER tell someone NOT to get vaccine after this. Nobody should face this."
I believe that no one has the right to force the vax on anyone and I believe that it is potentially reckless to talk someone out of getting the vax.
BTW: If you believe in prayer, please say a prayer for my brother's recovery. Thank you.
You are the second person in the past couple of days to mention melatonin as a Covid preventative. I take it as a sleep aid; what is it’s supposed benefit regarding Covid?
Your story reinforces my belief that whenever we think we have the answers on this disease, pro-vax or anti-vax, this treatment or that treatment, some new development arises or some contrary statistic is reported.
