Getting Sick All the Time? Don’t (Necessarily) Blame COVID-19
time ^ | 12/07/2023 | JAMIE DUCHARME

Respiratory disease season is in full swing, with influenza, RSV, and COVID-19 case counts rising in various parts of the U.S. Hospitals in some states are also reporting upticks in pediatric pneumonia diagnoses, which experts say seems to be unrelated to the recent spike of pneumonias reported in China.

On the heels of last year’s severe flu and RSV reason, all this contagion has some people wondering if SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, may be to blame. Some studies suggest the virus leaves its mark on the immune system even after an acute illness passes, raising an important question: does having COVID-19 increase your risk of getting sick from other viruses in the future?

“Some studies suggest the virus leaves its mark on the immune system even after an acute illness passes”

does this phenomenon happen to the unvaccinated also?

The only reason you’re hearing about RSV is because Pfizer came up with a vax for it last year.

RSV is nothing new. It has about 10-25% of the occurrence of the flu every year.

But, due to the vax, you have commercials for it like it’s a novelty, but it’s just an advertisement.

And, of course, the press and the government pick up on the advertising as well.

Just came down with a case of laryngitis. Many family members are happy.

I don’t blame covid-19, I blame the covid-19 vax. The class switch to IGG4 caused by the vax almost certainly affects immunity. So who are all these people getting RSV or mycoplasma pneumonia, were they vaxxed or not? That’s the study they should be doing.

We’ve not be jabbed with mRNA products, and haven’t been sick, though in these last three years we’ve traveled to Europe, driven from the West Coast to the East Coast, and enjoyed the company of others. This is called being “anti-vaxxers” by the “vaxxers.”

I strongly suspect the "vaccine" does.

But that is just my opinion based on observing the difference between the people who got jabbed and those that did not.

The first group seems to be sick all the time. The second gets sick occasionally.

Now that could be because the first group is a bunch of neurotics who think that every time they have to blow their nose more then once a day they are deathly ill.

Or they could actually be sick more.

Wow

Just realized it’s near mid December and I haven’t been sick yet.

Usually take a hit once or twice by now followed 1 or 2 more after January.

Yay!....so far

Most of the people I work with, if not all, have been jabbed and boosted at least once. One lady in particular rushed out and got every booster right away. She’s had Covid 6 times at last count. Many, many others are sick with Covid or other respiratory illnesses every few months.
I, the only (as far as I know) unvaxxed person in our group, got Covid one time (maybe, didn’t test) and didn’t even miss a day of work.
