An 'anti-vaxxer' catches COVID

"If I catch COVID, there is zero chance I will die." So I told my father a few weeks ago while discussing the never-ending government restrictions and my unwillingness to take the experimental COVID vaccine against a petty coronavirus.

Then, earlier this month, I caught the trendy virus. Secretly, I had some angst that somehow karma would hit me and send me to the hospital, mostly dreading the "I told you so" scolding of the vaccine bullies.

But just as I suspected, my sickness was easily managed, and the symptoms were those of a mild to moderate flu. For two days, all I wanted to do was sleep, and I barfed once a morning for two days. Beyond that, I had a headache one day and a queasy feeling, and a poor appetite for four days. My taste was out of whack for ten days, and my sense of smell remains slightly reduced after more than two weeks.

Well, not actually ZERO chance of dying but..... We've been around quite a few how have survived it. Some vaxxed after some still not wanting the vax. We remain beneficent and will allow ours to be used for some poor underserved unfortunate entity. And, I had to get a test prior to surgery and the test came back negative. As of now I didn't pick it up while in the VA hospital either.

And now you have immunity 3X stronger than the so-called “vaccines”, and you’ll never need a “booster shot”.

America used to be the kind of place where this was just a personal decision. If you are overweight, diabetic, with hypertension, and older than 75, well, getting the “vaccine” might possibly make good sense. It should be your call, based on how you want to weight the risks.

Some college athlete who wants to attend classes? Why is the “vaccine” mandated for that person?

All across the board, there should be no mandates. People should take steps that seem appropriate to them so that they can protect their own health.

I question every report of someone supposedly catching COVID. So many reports of lies about catching COVID. There’s so much lying, political correctness, and Leftist politics involved that AFAIC, the presumption is they did NOT catch COVID and that presumption can be rebutted only by clear and convincing evidence.

Usually there is NO clear and convincing evidence that the issue was COVID.

I had exactly this in 2019, plus the worst fever and chills of my life. I don't remember if taste and smell were affected, because I didn't know to pay attention to that then. But nearly two years later a test says no antibodies for covid. So did I have it?

Despite my being 76 years ols and overweight, my doctor urged me to go out and catch it. He knew he could manage it, and I’d be immune for life.

“And now you have immunity 3X stronger than the so-called “vaccines”, and you’ll never need a “booster shot”.”

According to an Israeli study natural immunity is 27X more effective than the vaccine.

He does not know what he caught.

The PCR test is fraudulent in that it has a 97+ false positive rate and even the CDC has instructed the testing sites to stop using it.

Never mind the economic devastation the use of this inappropriate test has caused.

No, you probably just had influenza. No antibodies means no exposure.

COVID made the rounds in my unvaccinated family in Tennessee.

All survived it just fine...all six of them that caught it.

Aged from 2 yrs to 70 yrs.

We did have an extended in-law relative who caught it and passed. She passed not from COVID but supposedly from complications of being intubated. She was 83 yrs old with several comorbidities.

My wife and I both got hit by this in December 2019 and I still believe we caught it early. I work in an area with a high number of foreign travelers and could have easily caught it, and I actually have a name for the individual I got it from.

But they took blood tests and keep saying we didn’t have it. Not sure if I believe they actually can find it.

Her getting sick is not surprising; but it doesn’t support mandatory vaccination. People who don’t take the flu vaccine can also get sick, but we don’t require everyone to get the flu vaccine.

People have an increased chance if dying in a hospital. They have been know to withhold meds and intubate early for profit

The “vaccines” are working.

They are a cure for Wuhan flu hysteria, not a vaccine for the flu.

Hysteria sufferers who get the vaccine overcome their hysteria, drop their precautions and get the flu.

The success of the vaccinations is measured by the number of vaccinated who get the flu.

I was told that to know if I really had it I'd need a T-cell test, which is more complicated and difficult to get. That antibodies disappear, but T-cells can bring them back if needed.
