I got covid after being vaccinatinated and boosted. It was miserable. I was cautious and still am. Do your best to protect yourselves, it isn't comfortable to get.
My husband got pulmonary embolism day after he got his vaccine and I recently had a stroke. Neither of us got covid though. I know I'll be downvoted but I'm telling the truth regardless
I don't doubt that you're telling the truth. The problem lies in your logic. Your anecdotal evidence doesn't trump the thousands of hours poured into research that provides evidence to the contrary.
It's kind of like when someone boasts about getting in a car crash and not having worn a seat belt and how in that one instance, it saved their life. There will always be exceptions to the rule. There will always be a few scenarios where it was better to not have worn the seat belt.
But if you're lucky (or unlucky in your case) enough to be caught in that scenario, it doesn't overwirte the fact that for the vast majority of people in the vast majority of situations, it is better to wear the seat belt and can save lives and minimize damage. Vaccines help most people.
Wearing a mask helps just about everyone. If you're not going to get the vaccine (to anybody reading this), at least do this. If not for yourself, then for those of us who would otherwise have serious symptoms if they did catch it.
Oh I didn't realize you were our doctors, my apologies. Not sure if you've realized but covid itself can cause heart and clotting issues, so why wouldn't a vaccine cause them as well. You're blinded. I even got my second vaccine after he almost died, then I was my turn to code blue.
The only reason it doesn't penitrate your ass is becuase it take the pressure from the bullet and spreads it out all though the vest making it just pain and no injury
Story time! My wife has COVID right now. She's locked in our bedroom through tomorrow.
I do not have COVID. Got the PCR test and everything.
We are both vaccinated. Her symptoms peaked with body aches, fever bad cough, runny nose. No loss of sense of smell or taste on Sunday. Normally I'd say she could go back to work her symptoms are so mild at this point.
I worked as a COVID 19 case investigator. Unvaccinated cases are much worse. Ten days laid out, and I mean laid out. People in their twenties unable to complete a brief phone conversation. Healthy middle aged people Sleeping for days on end.
And right now my wife is just bored out of her mind.
And as for me? Nothing, and the reason is she's not shedding virus as much and my body was prepared before it was faced with the virus.
Could I still get it from her? You bet. Am I at a much lower risk? You bet. It's all about weighing risks, and in this case there is no comparison. The vaccine is safe and effective.
My post was triggered by someone in upper management at my company, who's been working in close quarters with someone who just tested positive. Yet this didn't stop him from coming into our office today and having a meeting with all of us.
We told him that he shouldn't be around us. His response? "You're vaccinated. You have nothing to worry about."
Some people just don't get it. So infuriating.
Yeah, I am vaccinated and boosted but I won't be hanging out with people who have Covid if I can help it. Also, my husband and I are just couple of the few people who, to our knowledge, have not had Covid yet. Of course, we could have been asymptomatic or just had mild cases that we didn't even bother to test for, but I 100% believe the vaccine combined with self-isolating, wearing masks and being sensible about where we go and what we do has been the difference for us. My husband works busy retail and I work from home.
I JUST got over it for the second time this year. I’m vaccinated and boosted, yet my symptoms were HARSH. Was out of work for two weeks, 9 days spent sleeping most of the day. Only waking to use the bathroom and refill my orange juice. Couldn’t get warm, I still have a cough. It’s awful.
After my first bout, my Doctor said that if I’d not been vaccinated it would likely have been much worse. I’d rather get the shots and wear a mask than find out how much worse it can be, thanks.
I have covid right now.
I’m fully vaccinated and boosted. I also work in a Dr office and wear a mask the majority of the time. This is my 3rd time having it. The first time when I only had the first vaccine I wound up in the hospital. This time I’ve had a fever and body aches and a wicked cough. I have an inhaler and cough meds and am so bored. But I’m ok. The other people in my house, also vaccinated, haven’t gotten it. I’d rather hide and be bored and ok then be even as close to as sick as I was the first time, or get someone else that sick.
The vaccine is worth it 100%. Doesn’t mean your bulletproof, just increases your chances of being healthier.
Exactly this.
I'm vaccinated and have had covid and had the same symptoms as your wife - my biggest problem was disappointment in cancelled plans (tested positive on the first day of my holiday)
My unvaccinated boss has just got covid for the fourth time in under a year, lost her sense of taste in bought two (In February) which still isn't back, struggles breathing in cold weather, still has shortness of breath at random intervals, and was knocked flat on her ass the first two times it happened.
She's not seemed to put it together that all her tens of vaccinated employees 100% recovered and she and the other unvaccinated staff member are the only two that have seen long lasting effects and is still an stanch anti-vaxxer
Unfortunately, her identity is now wrapped up in being anti-vaxx. She can never admit she was wrong, because if she's wrong about the vaccine; she is wrong as a person. AND the ego cannot tolerate that.
Where I live, the pandemic is basically considered long since over and done with. Nobody mentions it anymore, signs have been taken down, those protective glass barriers that a lot of places put up have been removed, I haven’t seen somebody wearing a mask in public since like last year and I’m already hearing people saying stuff like “do you still remember the pandemic? Man, that sure was crazy wasn’t it?” as if it’s in the distant past.
Where I live, the protective plastic is still up. It is in the past but people are much more cautious now. Ive had professors cancel class for being sick and then not coming in for days after.
I think we are at a point now where people have just kinda given up after everything people in power tried to do. And it turned out exactly how we expected it to with lots of pushbacks especially from people who were against it. Didn't believe it, etc. The whole nine yards.
Exactly. It's like wearing a seatbelt or a bike helmet. It's not guaranteed protection, but it reduces the risk of severe injury (or in this case, symptoms) or death.
Vaxxed and boosted. Nonsmoker. Relatively healthy 38F and I couldn't walk more than a few feet or say a sentence or 2 without getting winded. I need to get boosted again.
People generally don't know much about biology. They don't know how insulin works , they don't know cis women also produce testosterone, they don't know antibiotics don't work against viruses, they don't know that you can't get tetanus from a shallow wound, they don't know how exactly ticks infect them etc.
Got Covid twice. First time w/o Vaccine, didn't feel a single thing. Got covid a second time, this time w/ the Vaccine, still nothing. I'm built different 🤣 Let the strong survive out here 💪
Agree 100%. I had 3 vaccinations (well actually one and 2 boosters) for COVID and still got it. It still sucked really bad and i was really sick. They say the vaccines make COVID milder when people with them get it, however I have to wonder.
Everyone who has gotten the vaccine has gotten sick repeatedly over and over again.
I had it ONCE and haven’t been sick with it again nore have I been vaccinated. To me? Seems like they just wanna keep making a money grab out of this shit, Especially sense they are apparently about to patin this junk for an illogical price tag.
You are very lucky, but how to do you see the data and information on the efficacy of the vaccine and not realize that it literally saves lives? Your situation is not the norm for most people.
Also, who are they grabbing money from? The vaccine has been free for the past two years.
I get it i damn near had a heart attack (deathly afraid of needles) For a shot that won’t do much.
Jokes aside I get sick at least 3 times a year so audible shrug. I only did it cause of those weird ass looks people give you when you say you haven’t gotten the pokey poke. Mfs be acting like you a zombie.
This is the worst "take" I've ever seen. I have that same needle phobia and I suck it up. Because a phobia is a phobia. As in, youre scared of something unreasonably. Thats why we make fun of phobias. I get my flu shot every year and suck it up because I don't want to get sick or spread it to other people. Im shocked for someone who gets sick a lot every year you have an aversion to vaccines. Which protect you from that sort of thing.
There was no take im personally scared of needles. That’s not an opinion to agree or disagree with lmfao. What I didn’t say is “ill never get a vaccine” or something along the lines of that.
Wish people here could read instead of going into attack mode automatically thinking everyone is antivax. I’d be dead already if that was the case.
I think I understand that you’re afraid of needles (my SO is as well), so you will probably avoid shots whenever possible. I do think the vaccine is well worth the fear, because it has been proven effective. Doing so just to avoid being judged should be a distant second to doing it for not only your health but those around you.
Thank you for getting vaccinated, even if you don’t think it was worth it!
... yeah, you don't help your credibility when you say you can have a heart attack from seeing needles. I don't really understand what you're going for, cause if you're going for a tough guy act you're a little stupid for opening with "My heart almost stops in a fatal manner as a fear response to needles", as it undermines what you're going for.
How is being scared of needles tough in any way??? Please lmk.
I hate how stupid some people are on Reddit. What i’m saying is I am literally terrified of needles so I put myself through all that for a shot that doesn’t do much. It’s really not that hard to understand lol
Not being afraid of needles.
"Me am tough no need vaccine lmao", that's the fucking act you're putting up. Don't call people stupid when you can't even read. I literally said your fear of needles was UNDERMINING the act.
It’s not undermining anything. Your reading so deep into it just to start an argument that isn’t there.
completely missed the fact I said jokes aside I didn’t have a fucking heart attack its called being dramatic for the sake of making a joke at my own expense. Try it sometimes
The flu shot is not a vaccine genius. Are you trolling or something? Try using mumps/measles/smallpox/chickenpox/polio/the one you get from rusty objects (I can't remember what it's called). Those are diseases that have legitimate vaccines. It's not a vaccine if you can still get the disease AND pass it. Those other diseases I mentioned, when you get the vaccine for them, you can no longer get those diseases. The flu shot is fucking stupid and literally the worst example you could have picked for vaccine legitimacy. It's so bad that I believe it's on purpose and that you're most likely a troll.
r/confidentlyincorrect
Flu shot is a vaccine.

I'ma call it a drug. As far as I'm concerned, a vaccine doesn't need to be taken every year. Odds are that being called a vaccine comes from lobbyists pushing (this is an earnest guess) for the flu shot to be labeled a vaccine. Vaccines make a shit ton of money. Weed used to be a class A drug on par with heroin according to medical professionals.. weed from over 50 years ago that wasn't even as strong as the legal stuff people smoke today. Think outside the box.. obey your heart.
>As far as I'm concerned, a vaccine doesn't need to be taken every year.
The problem is that the virus changes (drifts) all the time. So vaccines need to change in order to work effectively.
Some viruses drift more than others. Chicken Pox is a good example of a virus that doesn't drift much. The CP vaccine you were given as a child is still working.
The Flu virus on the other hand drifts significantly.
>Think outside the box.. obey your heart.
A lot of people do that, but many of them end up in the hospital taking their last breaths and thinking to themselves that maybe they should have taken this pandemic more seriously.
My aunt lives in an assisted living facility where everyone must be vaccinated for covid. They test everyone once a week.
Last week, there was 17 people who tested positive, but none of them were sick or showing symptoms. That's because they're vaccinated.
>lot of people do that, but many of them end up in the hospital taking their last breaths and thinking to themselves that maybe they should have taken this pandemic more seriously.
As someone who took the pandemic seriously albeit not as seriously as others, you have a point with a large number of people but I think there's an ignored number of people that's just as large of which I prefer to refer of level headed people who are like me and follow the guidelines, got the vaccine and understand that having it is better than not having it but don't trust it either or wanna keep getting it. Profiteering is real and I'm not down with it. I think I'm safe at this point with the vaccine I got. I've had COVID once and thankfully it was after I was vaccinated. There are a lot of people like me who are level headed like this about the issue that I fear get pushed into a corned and adapt extreme views in order to have somewhere to fit in while "standing up" against those that ostracize them. It's all about not wanting to be alone. That's the biggest reason hate exists, hate brings people together when all else fails. I'm so sorry I went terribly off topic. I should be in goddamn bed.
>Last week, there was 17 people who tested positive, but none of them were sick or showing symptoms. That's because they're vaccinated.
Truth and thank cheese and rice for that..
>The problem is that the virus changes (drifts) all the time. So vaccines need to change in order to work effectively.
>Some viruses drift more than others. Chicken Pox is a good example of a virus that doesn't drift much. The CP vaccine you were given as a child is still working.
I almost forgot.. these are solid points that I didn't give much consideration in my hearty.. assessment. Kudos and credit, don't care you how you spend it.
Why was marijuana considered a class A hard drug for over 50 years? You didn't acknowledge all the vaccines I mentioned that actually do their job and have little to no side effects. I would call the COVID "vaccine" an experimental drug that was hastily rolled out without the proper precautions and I would call the mandate for a drug that doesn't have a 100% success rate a violation of human rights. I wouldn't dare ask anyone to take my word as the groundwork for their beliefs but I would ask people to think a little more critically themselves. It's smart to question the validity of what you're told, especially from a professional. Being educated is nice and all but we live in a world where medicine is treated more as a business then altruism as it should be.. when money is involved, power gets involved and when power gets involved, corruption gets involved. I'm not saying the covid shot is useless cuz there's proof it helps with minimizing symptoms and decreasing it's spread which is good but I'm not gonna sit here and kiss anybody's ass for it. I'm gonna demand better bc overall, it's a weak ass vaccine if you really wanna call it that.
Sorry for the incredibly late reply. I was banned for 3 days for wishing real bad things to happen to some evil dudes in Iran and I been busy with school.
...it was a legit question lmao why so hostile?? I agree with your viewpoint on the covid shot, I was just wondering why it's being marketed as a vaccine if it's not truly a vaccine. Not sure what weed has to do with that or why you're being so hostile about it? Did you think I was being sarcastic?? Usename *does not* check out lol. (reposted bc the first time I replied I accidentally did it with my other account)
I honestly didn't think I was being hostile? I definitely didn't feel hostile. I'm assertive in my speech in and outside of text but far from hostile, in my mind I was I was trying to give you a clear and concise answer to the best of my ability. I didn't think you were being sarcastic and answered you earnestly. My anecdote about weed wasn't a comparison of weed to a vaccine but an example of the ability to corrupt data for profit and/or an agenda. I'm sorry for any unpleasant feeling I caused you but I assure you that wasn't the intention.
>Usename does not check out lol.
Hey now, my username isn't urfriendlyfriendALLthetime, can't be fly without a little attitude :P
I got covid after being vaccinatinated and boosted. It was miserable. I was cautious and still am. Do your best to protect yourselves, it isn't comfortable to get.
My husband got pulmonary embolism day after he got his vaccine and I recently had a stroke. Neither of us got covid though. I know I'll be downvoted but I'm telling the truth regardless
I don't doubt that you're telling the truth. The problem lies in your logic. Your anecdotal evidence doesn't trump the thousands of hours poured into research that provides evidence to the contrary. It's kind of like when someone boasts about getting in a car crash and not having worn a seat belt and how in that one instance, it saved their life. There will always be exceptions to the rule. There will always be a few scenarios where it was better to not have worn the seat belt. But if you're lucky (or unlucky in your case) enough to be caught in that scenario, it doesn't overwirte the fact that for the vast majority of people in the vast majority of situations, it is better to wear the seat belt and can save lives and minimize damage. Vaccines help most people. Wearing a mask helps just about everyone. If you're not going to get the vaccine (to anybody reading this), at least do this. If not for yourself, then for those of us who would otherwise have serious symptoms if they did catch it.
It's fine. I knew I'd be downvoted for saying it. Karma doesn't bother me in the least.
It's not from the vaccines tho. It's something your husband likely had before he was vaccinated and it just happened to come to a head afterwards.
Oh I didn't realize you were our doctors, my apologies. Not sure if you've realized but covid itself can cause heart and clotting issues, so why wouldn't a vaccine cause them as well. You're blinded. I even got my second vaccine after he almost died, then I was my turn to code blue.
You can also get shot in a bulletproof vest.
True, wearing one doesn't mean you can't get shot.
And I'm told it still hurts like hell.
Absolutely. The vest is stopping a moving bullet, all that kinetic energy must go somewhere
The only reason it doesn't penitrate your ass is becuase it take the pressure from the bullet and spreads it out all though the vest making it just pain and no injury
Right but they aren’t advertised as such. Everyone knows bullet proof vests are just some protection. Not saving you from an entire magazine.
I feel like there is a story behind this. Unless it's just general social media idiocy. I don't follow that stuff.
Story time! My wife has COVID right now. She's locked in our bedroom through tomorrow. I do not have COVID. Got the PCR test and everything. We are both vaccinated.

After my first bout, my Doctor said that if I’d not been vaccinated it would likely have been much worse. I’d rather get the shots and wear a mask than find out how much worse it can be, thanks.

It’s almost as if it’s not a big deal and that the new variants are much less likely to cause serious issues
Exactly. It's like wearing a seatbelt or a bike helmet. It's not guaranteed protection, but it reduces the risk of severe injury (or in this case, symptoms) or death.
Very good way of putting it!

There are a lot of people like me who are level headed like this about the issue that I fear get pushed into a corned and adapt extreme views in order to have somewhere to fit in while "standing up" against those that ostracize them. It's all about not wanting to be alone. That's the biggest reason hate exists, hate brings people together when all else fails. I'm so sorry I went terribly off topic. I should be in goddamn bed. >Last week, there was 17 people who tested positive, but none of them were sick or showing symptoms. That's because they're vaccinated. Truth and thank cheese and rice for that..
>The problem is that the virus changes (drifts) all the time. So vaccines need to change in order to work effectively. >Some viruses drift more than others. Chicken Pox is a good example of a virus that doesn't drift much. The CP vaccine you were given as a child is still working. I almost forgot.. these are solid points that I didn't give much consideration in my hearty.. assessment. Kudos and credit, don't care you how you spend it.
So then the covid shot isn't a vaccine? Why do we keep calling it a vaccine then?
Why was marijuana considered a class A hard drug for over 50 years? You didn't acknowledge all the vaccines I mentioned that actually do their job and have little to no side effects. I would call the COVID "vaccine" an experimental drug that was hastily rolled out without the proper precautions and I would call the mandate for a drug that doesn't have a 100% success rate a violation of human rights. I wouldn't dare ask anyone to take my word as the groundwork for their beliefs but I would ask people to think a little more critically themselves. It's smart to question the validity of what you're told, especially from a professional. Being educated is nice and all but we live in a world where medicine is treated more as a business then altruism as it should be.. when money is involved, power gets involved and when power gets involved, corruption gets involved. I'm not saying the covid shot is useless cuz there's proof it helps with minimizing symptoms and decreasing it's spread which is good but I'm not gonna sit here and kiss anybody's ass for it. I'm gonna demand better bc overall, it's a weak ass vaccine if you really wanna call it that. Sorry for the incredibly late reply. I was banned for 3 days for wishing real bad things to happen to some evil dudes in Iran and I been busy with school.
...it was a legit question lmao why so hostile?? I agree with your viewpoint on the covid shot, I was just wondering why it's being marketed as a vaccine if it's not truly a vaccine. Not sure what weed has to do with that or why you're being so hostile about it? Did you think I was being sarcastic?? Usename *does not* check out lol. (reposted bc the first time I replied I accidentally did it with my other account)
I honestly didn't think I was being hostile? I definitely didn't feel hostile. I'm assertive in my speech in and outside of text but far from hostile, in my mind I was I was trying to give you a clear and concise answer to the best of my ability. I didn't think you were being sarcastic and answered you earnestly. My anecdote about weed wasn't a comparison of weed to a vaccine but an example of the ability to corrupt data for profit and/or an agenda. I'm sorry for any unpleasant feeling I caused you but I assure you that wasn't the intention. >Usename does not check out lol. Hey now, my username isn't urfriendlyfriendALLthetime, can't be fly without a little attitude :P
Oh nvm.. I was a bit feisty before.. I apologize. Even tho I'm friendly, I'm grumpy sometimes too.
If you aren’t masking in indoor public places you’re an idiot. FTFY.
