A true statement.
"The reality is breakthrough cases are becoming more common".
Contradictory information.
"I had a breakthrough case of COVID-19 — despite my two shots of the Pfizer vaccine, the second one in April.
Not only was I sick, but I'd brought the virus home and exposed my 67-year-old father and extended family during my very first trip back to the East Coast since the start of the pandemic.
And my advice is different now when friends and family tell me they want to avoid having a breakthrough case like mine: Don't leave it all up to the vaccine. Wear masks, stay away from big gatherings with unvaccinated people, cut down on travel, at least until things calm down".
Misleading information.
"While there's not a lot of data yet, research does show that breakthrough infections can lead to the kind of persistent symptoms that characterize long COVID, including brain fog, fatigue and headaches. "Hopefully that number is low. Hopefully it doesn't last as long and it's not as severe, but it's just too early to know these things," says Topol.
Recent research from the U.K. suggests that vaccinated people are about 50% less likely to develop long COVID than those who are unvaccinated. The underlying cause of long COVID itself is still not yet known, so this complicates the picture for researchers even more, but this early evidence offers some reassurance".
So, breakthrough cases are more common.
Even though you may be vaccinated and can get the virus and bring it home to infect your vaccinated family you should stay away from unvaccinated people.
And finally, even though it's too early to know certain things about long covid and breakthroughs we know that vaccinated people are about 50% less likely to develop long COVID than those who are unvaccinated. But it's too early to know this.
>> Don’t leave it all up to the vaccine. Wear masks, stay away from big gatherings with unvaccinated people, cut down on travel, at least until things calm down.
What a #ing tool.
“”You probably would have gotten much sicker if you had not been vaccinated,” Dr. Francesca Torriani, an infectious disease physician at the University of California, San Diego, explained to me recently.”
Any legitimate research done would find that these shots aren’t doing anything but mess with peoples bodies.
The Delta Variant is the same as the original and nothing more than a made up boogeyman to cover up the lack of help from the shots.
That there’s absolutely no way to determine who infects who.
Some people get it. Some don’t. Some get it bad and die from it, unfortunately. Some don’t even know they have it.
Sad that folks continue to politicize it and try to make money off of it.
But I guess one would have to have a modicum of compassion for their fellow man, which is in very short supply these days.
I beat the covid first week of feburaury 2021. In the past 6 months 6 people that i have had contact with at work have had positive tests for kung flu. I have had a wonderfully healthy summer. I will never vaxx.
—> Of course, I am very lucky. I didn’t go up against the virus with a naive immune system, like millions of Americans did until vaccines were widely available.
It’s a religion with these idiots.
+80% of the world had and has long-term T cell immunity - or partial immunity which is perfected by exposure.
OK, lemme git this straight= the “vaccine” doesn’t protect you or your family, or anyone else from COVID, but I can lose my job if I don’t take it.
Sounds like another lie from the same people who brought you “if you like your plan, you can keep your plan...Illegal immigrants won’t get coverage, ... I am from the government, and I am here to help....
The same government that contracted with a Wuhan lab, for corona virus “research...”
Per the article:
The vaccines aren’t a forcefield that ward off all things COVID.
My response:
Then they are NOT vaccines. A vaccine provides immunity.
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?
He should’ve taken Ivermectin.
And a daily dose of things that make it very difficult for Covid to attach to a receptor colon zinc, D3, quercetin, vitamin C, melatonin, Pepcid
Had it in January. Not vaxxed. Sniffles. Took about four months to get sense of taste back. Still have antibodies. Probably better immunity than vaxxed people.
I’ve heard stories from people in the last few days. An unvaccinatted lady I know got Covid from a recently vaxxed corworker. A covid ward nurse I know says almost all people coming to the hospital for covid are vaxxed now.
Gosh, my unvaccinated experience was 3 days. The only person I know who was sick with Covid recently is vaxxed and she had it hard for two weeks.
My question is - now that this breakthrough person has had the virus, will she be more immune …or not? Will she be more at risk for getting it again than me (a super naturally immune person)?
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.
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”.
“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.
"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!
