Yes, there is reason to doubt them.

These reports use direct quotes from real doctors who oversee these Covid ICUs. Why should we distrust what the doctors are saying?

There is also reason to doubt the CDC's methodology for determining vaccinated status AND COVID-related deaths:

You've cited the standard US protocol for fully vaccinated that's been in place since December 2020. What is your problem with that standard?

I was hospitalized in July. Just wondering if I get it again, what to expect.

I know who you shouldn’t ask. He’s a lil old Richard head of a guy who has been relieved of whatever truth he had in him.

All I know is that the UK has better data then we do.75% of the people dying over there are fully vaxxed. These vaccines don’t do shit after the first couple of months. They don’t keep you from getting covid and they don’t keep you from being hospitalized, and they don’t keep you from dying. Around 80% of the adult population is vaccinated in the UK and they have just as much covid and just as many deaths as we do. They are a couple of weeks further into this delta variant then we are and the CDC keeps feeding us old numbers. Delta did not really become a thing in the country until the middle of June and is still working its way north even now.

“ It was a miserable five days. My legs and arms ached, my fever crept up to 103 and every few hours of sleep would leave my sheets drenched in sweat. I’d drop into bed exhausted after a quick trip down to the kitchen. To sum it up, I’d put my breakthrough case of COVID-19 right up there with my worst bouts of flu. Even after my fever cleared up, I spent the next few weeks feeling low.”

So much for the Vaxed having a milder case.

I just finished with Covid. Going back to work tomorrow. (untaxed) I ran the fever and felt like I had a cold. No where near as bad a the flu for me. I know it affects everyone different but this “easier on the vaxed” is not always true.

There’s not a sudden surge in the “unvaccinated”.

Wrong...June - July - August admissions show the Delta surge in the United States.

Just look at the hospital data from any public health agency in the country. I'd link one for you but would rather you choose one on your own.

Or tell your doctor(s) about your "concerns" and let them guide you.

... the top five symptoms for people with a breakthrough infection were headache, sneezing, runny nose, sore throat and loss of smell. Notably absent: fever and persistent cough, which are in the top five for unvaccinated people, according to the data compiled by the U.K. researchers. If I get a breakthrough infection, how sick could I get? Even with delta, the chance of getting a case of COVID-19 that's bad enough to send you to the hospital is still very rare.

I'm tired of this disease...

The problem is we don’t know if any of those stats are even true.

I am not saying they aren’t , but we have been lied to by so many “experts” that they have lost all credibility. They have cried wolf too many times. It’s like Biden telling me anything. I just don’t trust them and my instinct is to do the opposite.

why does the CDC have shoddy data .... are they incompetent?

I think we have seen plenty of incompetence, but the changing data collection standards, and the changes in what data is published seems driven by politics.

Some of the most useful data publishers in 2020 shut down their websites early in 2021 saying that their work was no longer needed now that a different administration was in power.

When ICU wards across the country are full of Covid-19 patients and 90% of them are unvaccinated...

That would be very interesting data to see. Do you have a link to a primary source for that data?

Nowhere in this piece does it mention anything about treatment with a monoclonal antibody infusion. If I turn out to have symptoms and test positive, this will be one of the first things I look into doing.

Same here. We have monoclonal antibody centers all over Florida ... get sick - go in, be treated for free and go home.

COVID-19: Famotidine, Histamine, Mast Cells, and Mechanisms

"We propose that the principal famotidine mechanism of action for COVID-19 involves on-target histamine receptor H2 activity, and that development of clinical COVID-19 involves dysfunctional mast cell activation and histamine release."

It's a preprint.

Its been 9+ months since the vaccines came out and 4 months since the emergence of Delta in India. If an American adult hasn't been vaccinated by now, its because they have chosen to not believe what science and the medical community has told them.

Hospitals shouldn't be forced to admit the unvaccinated under those circumstances.

Give them whatever off label remedies they want to take and send them on their way.

Then they shouldn’t be force to receive break through cases either because the vaxed followed the “science” and obviously they should not need admission. (vax works so well you know)

Send them home with what ever new remedies they chose now that their science has failed them.

See how it works. If the science fails why pick on the ones who thought it was failing.

But, you still don’t get it. We don’t believe the “science” from these people. The “science” changes daily and is an ever moving goal post. When someone lies Fauci et al. I don’t trust them!

We lied to the nation but, we are telling the truth NOW!
Believe who you want but I’m not buying any bridges from you. I’m not buying the 90% number either.

"The writer never specified if he was taking the likes of Vitamin D3, etc."
He could have mentioned his age as well. Not to mention all the "recent" studies he cited. ;-)

Sorry, only the folks who deny vaccine medicine get turned away, not those unfortunate enough to get reinfected.

Everyone else will be given vitamins and off label remedies and sent on their way.

Immunized wIth Moderna in Feb/ March. In end of May, Caught covid from traveling cloth masked spouse who traveled through four airports. Serious headache, neck ache, feverchills, and crazy tearing, most signs disappeared after ivermectin doses started at 48 hours, ( i had none in stock until Monday morning. ). She didn’t get sick.

Recently, two weeks, traveling, visited brother for an evening , who was “fighting a head cold”. He was tested positive four days later (also, nephew and niece) and since i was sick again, half as bad but still crappy headache, neck ache, took more ivermectin, still mild to moderate sick for four days, tested negative agin rapid test, but positive on saliva test. No one else here got sick.

My wife says “ you don’t get immunity from the shots, you still need to wear a mask all the time.”

I said, I got immunized (wrong term), got covid, twice likely and tested positive and survived. If i get sick again, I don’t care. No more, done.
I’m not contagious. I don’t care if i get it again (I will), but will stay on ivermectin, and no more boosters
