Do Not Try and Catch COVID-19, Medical Experts Say
KRON4 ^ | Jan 17, 2022 | Dan Kerman

There’s talk that some people are trying to purposely get the omicron variant.

They think they’ll become immune and then can more easily move on with their lives but medical experts KRON4 spoke with say this is a huge mistake.

This new trend is like the old days — Before there was a chickenpox vaccine, some parents would purposely get their kids exposed, so they could get it and no longer have to worry about it.

Now, some are doing the same thing with omicron, in hopes they can put this pandemic behind them.

“There’s no good reason to get this virus purposefully, there’s every reason to avoid it,” Dr. John Swartzberg said.

Bay Area Infectious Disease Specialist Dr. John Swartzberg says trying to get the omicron variant with the idea of becoming immune and putting the pandemic behind you is a grave mistake.

“We know there is no assurance if you have omicron once you won’t get it again, there’s evidence from the United Kingdom and South Africa that that is occurring,” Dr. Swartzberg said.

Dr. Swartzberg says while most cases of omicron may be milder, there’s no guarantee you won’t be one of those to get very sick, or if it is milder to pass it on to some who is at higher risk.

How to get free at-home COVID tests under new government program “We still have so much more to learn in terms of how sick it will make you acutely how sick it will make you chronically, other things we may not have even thought of yet,” Dr. Swartzberg said.

Swartzberg says another reason not to actively seek out omicron is the risk of long-COVID.

“You may have a mild case but it may not go away, that is the acute system may get better sore throat runny nose, body aches, but the fatigue may persist the cloudy thinking may persist, other symptoms of long COVID may persist indefinitely, we just don’t know,” Dr. Swartzberg said.

Infectious disease experts say that’s just what it comes down to. We just don’t know enough about omicron yet, to take the risk.

“There’s no good reason to get this virus purposefully, there’s every reason to avoid it,” Dr. John Swartzberg said.

But Dr. Sandflea said that everyone will eventually get it. One of the few things he is probably right about.

Getting COVID over and over is one way to clear out your sinuses.

But go ahead and take your experimental ‘vaccine.’ Perfectly safe - while natural immunity is too dangerous.

True wisdom - in a nutshell!

“He sleeps a lot since his bypass.”

Ever been tested for apnea? Thumbs up, if you’ve checked off that box; if not, though, get it checked out. It’s important.

Mine went undiagnosed until I ended up in ER with A-Fib & had to ride the lightning to recover normal sinus rhythm. I was in my forties, and they wanted to put me on statins and assign me to a cardiologist for the rest of my life.

My wife phone a good friend in Respiratory medicine who said, “Definitely see the local cardio guy, but hold the drugs until you see a pulmonologist and get a full in-clinic sleep study.” I did. Had to push insurance to get it, but I did.

I’m the second worst case in her practice, and she told me, “To look at you in a lineup of 100 people, I’d have never picked you as a possible case.”

I run my CPAP and my ticker is 100% A-OK.
Doc said I’m a “solo flier,” zero damage, zero evidence that anything ever happened.

He also said, apnea is a possible trigger behind out-of-the-blue cardiac issues, but it’s not standard practice you send first-time cardiac patients for a sleep study, so apnea can continue to be an undiagnosed threat unless the patient campaigns on their own behalf. He agreed with my Respirology doc friend, my a-fib was triggered by my then-unknown apnea & I’m fortunate a-fib was my first event; for some the wake-up call is more serious, and for a few it’s fatal.

If you can’t get Ivermectin Black Cumin seed oil is a substitute.

Uh huh. The average hospital stay for COVID is what, $38k in my area?

Or, let’s say you have a moderate case and go for the monoclonals. Plenty of costs there too (some “hidden”.)

Now, I do think the health officials or whomever are again making the wrong arguments / engaging in remarkably poor education. The reason to not try to get COVID is not primarily attempting to weigh various unknowns. The reason is that deliberately trying to get most any infectious disease is a great way to considerably increase the chances of slugging yourself with an extra high level infection: That’s a terrific recipe for getting a more serious case.

We just don’t know enough about omicron yet, to take the risk.

Stuffing a shedload of spike protein in your body is OK though. Commandeering your ribosomes to make more is a bonus.

He was diagnosed with it. He just couldnt stand the mask. I am working on him this year. Doc said he has 5 years before his next open heart. That was 3.5 years ago.
Working on his thyroid this year, Lord willing. Dr Broda Barnes has a lot to say about under treated thyroid and cardiac. I will revisit his apnea also. He may be more willing.

I just think that if I don’t exercise my immune system then I’ll require these ‘boosters’ in order to survive. It seems like they’re deliberately trying to weaken the human natural immune system. They’ll replace it with these immunizations and that’s how they’ll depopulate the earth.

That’s what it feels like anyway.

My wife and I have not and will not get the death shots.

We understood the risks.

We got the CCP virus and it was Hell, no doubt. At some point several weeks in we were literally starving to death, and after a month we are still debilitated, but getting better day by day.

We have ZERO regret for our decision. Literally everyone around us (both with and without the shot) got some milder form of CCP virus. “Milder” is relative. It is literally impossible to say what effect the shots had, so varied was the sickness among everyone.

We took HCQ and IVM, as well as the supplements. Out doctor was hostile and worse than useless. Our ER trip to a CATHOLIC hospital was a totally futile trip where we were constantly “advised” (TAUNTED) that it was all our fault for not getting the shot, and that NOTHING could be done (not even to treat the symptoms like nausea which prevented us from eating, or congestion.) NOTHING.

My wife and I kept ourselves alive with Ensure, and forcing soup down in small spoonfuls. I prayed to Jesus for relief and strength.

My wife and I agree. We could have died. We were miserable and desperate. But we got through it with the grace of God, and now we have something the ghouls cannot deny us, both natural and spiritual.

The "experts" clearly aren't. Everyone has already been exposed to COVID-1984 since it's been around for more than TWO YEARS.

The Jim Jones Jab doesn't work.

Natural immunity has worked for EVERY virus mankind ever faced.

The pharmaceutical korporations and their Pfascist counterparts in government deny natural immunity and lie, saying that the only thing that works is the Jim Jones Jab despite O M M O I R C O R N O I N C showing that it clearly doesn't.

Great post! Yes, I’d agree and have stated that statistics support early efficacy and well into Delta. Now? Not seeing it now though and the adverse effects seems to be reported in greater numbers with higher visibility.

There has never been a “one size fits all” solution for personal health and only simian-grade thinking would believe it, and less than simian-grade intelligence would implement said thinking as policy.

The simple fact that alternative therapies, “right to try” policy and other innovative approaches in addition to the availability of vaccines with informed consent have not been promoted indicates either a vile alternative agenda is in place or our leadership has gone full “planet of the apes”. I suspect both.

May those who induced so much unnecessary suffering on our people meet swift and harsh justice.

This Quack should lose his license and be put in PRISON for REFUSING to admit that 100 years of Immunology and Infectious Disease SCIENCE and FACTS don’t exist and are irrelevant

Yeah - why would anyone want to catch the most benign version to date and maybe get natural immunity against a whole train of potential strains - that would be as crazy as Moms having Chickenpox and mumps parties to get it over with before one was old enough to have problems with it...😎

My wife and I did the recommend zinc quercetin regiment for two years now. In November we were directly exposed to COVID from our son who would not follow the regiment. None of us emerge vaccinated.

When my son started with dark black semicircles under his eyes and lost his taste completely we recommended Monocoque therapy. He was back at work in a week with only the loss of taste (back by Christmas.)

W had been sharing chicken wings off the same plate with him and the next day he exhibited symptoms. We were closely exposed for a week.

We never tested positive (antigen tests.) We never became ill, we just wanted o catch it early and pursue the MCT path ASAP. We stopped testing after four weeks.

It was definitely blessings, but did the regiment help? I can’t deny it was helpful. We have only gotten sick once in two years.

#1 You should never vaccinate in the middle of a pandemic. It only prolongs it and produces variants.
#2 A drugs efficacy NEVER depends on the people who didn't take it. Common sense isn't so common when there's money to be made and power to grab.
