Data from hospitals has shown that on average vaccinated people had less intense attack of covid, and recovered sooner than unvaccinated patients. But vaccine does not and can not prevent infection. Because airborne virus like covid has free access to lungs when inhaled. There is no virus proof filter in the nose from the vaccine.

My wife and I both got exposed to covid in her cancer clinic. We both came down with symptoms on Friday evening. We used the home-test-kits and both were positive for covid. All day Saturday we were real sick with cough, some fever, feeling seriously tired, and body ache. We had no covid medicines at home. So just stayed in bed all day Saturday. Waking up on Sunday morning most symptoms had disappeared except dry cough lingered for a few days.

Both of us had 4 jabs before. Was it the vax responsible for the fast recovery? No way to know. But it was a huge relief to recover so quickly without needing medicines or hospital.

If his mask works, then I don’t need a mask.

There is no place for reason or facts here.

Yeah - I got covid once two years ago. Took Ivermectin and the fever was gone the next day. Can’t say it was the ivermectin, but that is my story.

Covid was mild for most. Just very done with the propaganda “it would have been worse if....”. A non-falsifiable claim that is a joke.

You are mistaken.

I got COVID in early January 2020.

It destroyed my lungs. I have the before and after lung scans to prove it. It depleted my adrenals. It jacked my kidneys and liver, shut down my digestive system, and is still wreaking havoc on my neurological system.

Never vented. NEVER vaxxed.

I will gladly trade places with you so you can know what it feels like to go from an active, successful working wife and mom to a disabled shell of your former self in just two years. Oh, yes, and you can have my medical bills while experiencing the joy of having doctors tell you that you only have a few years left to live with proper treatment.

From trekking across Italy for two weeks pre-COVID to unable to walk two frigging blocks now.

This was a bioweapon. Educate yourself. Why do you think people that were vaxxed are having these horrible adverse reactions? The same dang poison in COVID is in the jab.

Why? Masks do not work. It’s just a virtue signal.

CoVID vaccines weren’t ready for a yr in her age group. She likely got CoVID during that time so the vaccine wouldn’t have saved her…simply because she’s t wasn’t available yet. 😖

It all depends on your genetic make up.

I got COVID at the very beginning, when hospitals were scrambling and tests were rare.

At the time I was in excellent health. I was managing a high rise condominium and walked all 14 floors (including emergency stairwells) weekly without breaking a sweat. At home, I was juggling three kids, a husband, a cat and dog, and keeping up with a 3K sq. ft. home and yard. I am 5’8” and weighed 138 lbs. My dress size was either a 6 or 8, depending on the cut. I ate clean. No drugs, no alcohol.

COVID roared through my building in December 2019/January 2020. It took 5 of my 7 staff members down for 2 weeks each. One of my maintenance men and I were the only ones still standing. Some residents were hospitalized. Some had family members die.

In January, it took me down. I went to the doctor and he ordered a chest x-ray. My lungs were clear.

My two youngest kids were sick for a few days and bounced back. My husband and eldest son never missed a beat, not even the sniffles.

2.2020, hospitalized with breathing issues.
3.2020, hospitalized with breathing issues.
4.2020, x-ray and pulmonologist confirmed massive COVID scarring on my lungs. Stage I COPD.
8.2020, adrenals depleted, issues with kidneys.
7.2022, Omnicron. Shut down my digestive system. Hospitalized again.
10.2022, Stage II COPD.
12.2022, first POTS episode.

The masks, social distancing, sanitizer, etc. were smoke and mirrors. They didn’t help then and they won’t help now.

Never vaxxed. COVID did enough damage.

Seeing Dr. McCullough in October. Hoping I can get a few more years in before I die.

The good news is I don’t have to worry about retirement. I’ll be dead and buried long before then.

Did you ever get CoVID prior to the shots? And no vaccine has ever had the caveats that the CoVID 19 ones have, like needing quarterly boosters. That’s insane and another obvious lie from BigPharma.

I hope Dr Mc Cullough helps...you might also try Tahoma Clinic in Renton, WA...they do not accept insur or medicare, but save lives. Look up Dr. Jonathan Wright, who started Tahoma.

How would you explain the vaxxed who have no symptoms?

Attention seeking behavior. There is no such thing as “covid.”
