“At this point they treat this like what it is, a cold.”

Has the severity of each illness declined, then? Or were the mild to begin with?

Some people get it. Some don’t. Some get it bad and die from it, unfortunately. Some don’t even know they have it.....

That’s been true since the beginning and has carried through to the vaxed population.

Claims that now the vax reduces dx severity are based on correlation, not causation.

Yes I didn’t like that statement either.

You’d think everyone dies of COVID the way we survivors are treated…or not treated. It seems to be assumed in everything.

“I didn’t have a naive system”, and “you were lucky because you wouldn’t be as bad and unvaccinated”.

It’s BS. What he described as his flu was probably close to what most of us get.

I certainly wasn’t based back in Dec nor anyone else, but we all had a decent flu from it and that was it. (Full disclosure - MIL died of COVID Jan 6, separately from us.). Most of the people I know fo who had it are alive. Only my MIL died.

I think he is describing a form of ADE…

Yes, and they have no real data to go on so early in the process. Never mind the fact so many people didn’t know they had it, and so many have mild cold problems before the vaxxes.

“You probably would have gotten much sicker if you had not been vaccinated,”

“PROBABLY” = they’re clueless.

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.

Agree...and its worth having that conversation with your doctor and identifying where to go to get monoclonal antibody treatment before you get infected. There may be some age restrictions depending on your area.

"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."

Because when he runs COVID will be in the rear-view mirror and yet the thousands of booster-vaccinated that died of breakthrough infections under Xiden's watch through the mid-terms will still be top-of-mind in every voter.

How many “breakthrough” cases are occurring among people who have actually HAD COVID?

The article writer was typical of the folks who “follow the science” and believe the vaccine was “settled science”.

He believed in magic—and got burned.

With all the mis-information and propaganda with COVID, I believe my best option is to get my own God-given immune system as healthy as possible with things such as you listed.

“why does the CDC have shoddy data”

They don’t have shoddy data. They’re just releasing only what will further the Fauci narrative.

Good to know about the dummy who wrote this piece.

Andrew Sullivan was on TV just today, talking about the pitiful state of journalism in America.

Authors like this person make me think ,along with Sullivan, that American journalism is on life support.

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

That’s what they’re SAYING, but is that true? You don’t know that they’re telling the truth. They NEVER tell the truth, but you think that TODAY they’re being honest?

They were saying that a year ago. Hubby worked in a hospital then, and there were few Covid patients, and sometimes none at all. But the fear-mongering MSM was saying all hospitals were crammed full of these people.

The real bottom line is ANYONE can pass it on, vaccinated or not and it’s more than likely vaccinated are not taking the same precautions as those that choose to not be vaccinated, and vaccinated are also much less likely to get tested when mildly symptomatic (denial) and are thus more, and not less, likely to isolate when contagious (than an unvaccinated person by choice). I see it every day when I interview patients. But you’ll never hear about it in the “news”

“A covid ward nurse I know says almost all people coming to the hospital for covid are vaxxed now.”

It would seem to me that if you require hospitalization it is not a mild case.

My wife and I (seasoned citizens) both got ‘breakthrough’ cases of the China virus. Both fully vaccinated. Wife’s initial symptoms were bad enough that she needed a wheelchair to get into and out of the doctor’s office. I got it from her a week later.

I had no fever, had a runny nose, cough, but promptly lost my sense of smell/taste. We were both prescribed a steroid and an antibiotic (as a prophylactic against pneumonia). We are both better, but still tire quite easily.

I have no idea how severe it would have been without the ‘vaccine’. We took the vaccine on our doctor’s advice. I figure he knows more about this than I do.

I do not recommend the Chinese virus. Even a mild case is an unpleasant experience. Masks, of course are silly. Shots are up to you (and not some government guy in the White House) to decide. If you trust your doctor, rely on his or her advice.
