Duhh... That's what's everyone who masked up and went crazy last year did for the last year, so this kid's advice is "stay scared forever"?!??
When I read one of these high minded articles, first thing I do is Google the author to find out what their background and experience is. Almost always, it's someone no older than 30 who has a bachelor's degree in journalism or literature from a fancy private school, zero life experience outside of editing rooms and freelance assignments. If you were at a party and struck up a conversation with the person, most likely you'd quickly look for a reason to excuse yourself.
This author's other writings are similarly junk. Rehashed press releases, parroted quotes, zero effort to individually verify sources or find enriching information that doesn't involve a Google search or Tweet deck. He probably thinks this overwrought story of getting a viral infection for less than a week was groundbreaking because he wrote it in the first person and because his entire adult life has been experienced after the advent of the flu shot, he thinks five days of fever and chills is pretty close to death's door.
He keeps trying to find a way to believe in the system. It’s cute.
“Still raging pandemic”?
I stopped reading right there.
True. My brother, a doctor, and his family have had covid 3 times since Feb 2020. 60,51,17,12,10, yeah he’s raising his own grandkids. All confirmed with IGM and antibody test.
At this point they treat this like what it is, a cold.
Taking ivermectin this time.
No Vaccines, and don’t plan on it.
And monkeys would probably fly out of my ass if I drank one of those sea monkey kits you could buy in the back of magazines. I have as much proof as the “good” doctor.
Seriously, why are we still listening to the public medical “experts”? They’ve been consistently wrong, some of them were directly responsible for funding the research that created this weapon in the first place, and some of them are profiting off of the “vaccines”.
Exactly.
“We had flown across the country, seen friends, stayed at a hotel, eaten indoors and, yes, even went to a long delayed wedding with other vaccinated people.”
People with prior infection but no shot is much safer to be around than one with the shot but without prior infection.
“I had loosened up with wearing masks and social distancing, (and washing hands?) after getting fully vaccinated.”
The vaccine does prevent infection.
“despite my two shots of the Pfizer vaccine, the second one in April.”
Pfizer protection rapidly sinks after the first month or two and goes down to 0% after 6 months.
False:
The more common tests you can take at home or at a test center will not distinguish variants, but Covid-19 virus variants ARE identifiable thru genomic analysis in a laboratory.
Here is one example. Penn Medicine Surveillance Sequencing of SARS-CoV-2 Variants
Hang on to your hat for the irony here:

Irony meter pegged in the red about to break the dial.
Nothing gets fixed until the scientist’s that unleashed this gain of function monster are removed from positions of power. They are desperate for new science to save the day, simple effective therapeutics must be diminished. They want all the unethical research to continue. God complex.
"Is it time for reality check about what the vaccines can — and can't do? The vaccines aren't a forcefield that ward off all things COVID. They were given the greenlight because they greatly lower your chance of getting seriously ill or dying."That's not how they were sold, dirtbag. Oh wait, here's the sockpuppet to put you right:
"I think we — in the public health community, in the medical community — facilitated the impression that these vaccines are bulletproof."
"Dr. Eric Topol, a professor of molecular medicine at the Scripps Research Translational Institute in La Jolla, Calif. "I think the chance of having a symptomatic infection has gone up substantially." But, he adds, "quantifying that in the U.S. is very challenging" because our "data is so shoddy."
Which is why your article leans all over the 'data', what a pure autoflame but you can't spell stupid without s-t-o-n-e-d. Maybe write an article explaining why Fauxi, the CDC and uninquiring journolists intentionally disregard the necessary tracking of acquired immunity? You can't spell Topol with t-o-o-l.
"In the U.S., a study published recently in the New England Journal of Medicine, concluded that vaccine effectiveness "against any symptomatic disease is considerably lower against the delta variant," dropping from over 90% earlier in the year before delta was the predominant strain to only about 65% in July."
Yeah bless those CDC chuckleheads, they unintentionally revealed the "Put-your-mask-back-on" study earlier this summer of a COVID breakout of 469 COVID P-town 'bears', sent exactly 5 Yogis to the hospital: 5 fully vaccinated, 1 unvaccinated.
"A recent study from the U.K. also shows that if you're sick because of a breakthrough case, it's generally not as bad and people have fewer symptoms.. In fact, 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. "
Says the vaxhole who had 103F! Hey genius, I never broke 101F and I haven't had delta. Stick that acquired immunity in your soy pipe and smoke it!
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.
It’s NPR! How can it be anything but absolute bullcr@p?
The writer never specified if he was taking the likes of Vitamin D3, etc. Or is there an assumption that once the injections were given, a person just doesn’t bother with it?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Per Dr. Zelenko (full disclosure: I have high regard/respect for him), he says that once you take the shots, you have put yourself back in a high risk category. The one thing you do NOT want to do is get COVID. He says you should be on a prophylactic protocol and at the first sniffle, you should be treating for COVID.
2nd point - no real relation to your comment, but I’m using this as an excuse to vent ...
To the author ....Ok, so you had COVID and that is an “experience”; however, I find it irksome when people like you use that to more or less ‘lecture’ on getting the shots, it would have been worse if you hadn’t had them, etc.. You got the shots, you got COVID, you don’t know where you got it - could have been from all those “vaxed” guests at the wedding for all you know .... you had a miserable week. ‘Nuff said from you.
BTW, everyone I know who has had COVID, with the exception of one person, was FULLY vaxed. The one unvaxed person was an obese diabetic in her 80’s (bad enough to be losing eyesight & having kidney problems) .... her fully vaxed skinny, fit hubby had a terrible time with COVID & developed heart issues that were unknown before the shots/COVID ... his wife thought he would die. She did fine, other than miserable flu systems for a week. Go figure.

Stopped reading after that
I’m still waiting for data for unvaxxed people who have gotten and recovered from covid. Studies say that you are 5 to 20 times better immunized than those who get the vaccine. But what does that mean?
> The vaccines aren’t a forcefield that ward off all things COVID.
Isn’t it anti-science to say that? Only a conspiracy theorist would say the vaccines don’t prevent Covid. Does he want to be kicked off social media?
Genesis until now of the vaccine has been a complete cluster bleep. And I for one am disappointed and frankly pissed off that Trump (still no comment on Biden’s mandate) still not come out and owned some of it and become a better man for it and a better future candidate for it so we know he won’t make the same mistakes in the future of trusting people that he shouldn’t trust.
NO it isn't.
Where’s the science behind this statement.
When ICU wards across the country are full of Covid-19 patients and 90% of them are unvaccinated, its safe to conclude that vaccination protects people from serious Covid-19 illness.
