The Annoyed Man wrote: Sun Sep 04, 2022 10:19 am The Annoyed Woman and I are currently experiencing the after effects of COVID-19. I came down with it on Tuesday 08/16, and my wife came down with it a couple of days later. I went back to work on 08/30. It pretty much sucks, but it isn’t the end of the world. It felt like a bad flu, and it seemed to last a bit longer. The bigger problem (for me) has been the lingering after effects. I still have a productive cough; I tire easily and quickly; my senses of taste and smell aren’t gone, but they’re diminished; and my mental acuity seems a bit diminished. A nurse practitioner told me just yesterday that these after effects will probably linger for 2-3 months, but they will eventually disappear.

On the upside, my post-bariatric surgery weight loss accelerated as my appetite almost completely disappeared for 2 weeks. Even now, 3 weeks later, I kind of make myself eat. Also, it has been helpful that I've been consuming a LOT of vitamins daily as part of my post-surgery regimen.

FWIW, both my wife and I had the first 2 vaccinations. I have no idea what variant we caught. I only know I had Covid because a home test was positive.
Wife and I got it first week of August. Vaxxed thrice, last time in October 21. My low grade fever and other symptoms were gone in 5 days, Wife took a week or so other than a lingering loss of taste that lasted about 10 days.

However, it took us both another 2+ weeks to get our stamina back to 75%... Fully back today.

Hang in there Brother...

The good news is that you're inoculated beyond any booster vaccination.,

There's no downside to Ivermectin, unless you have some allergy to it.
Wife and I and others we know all took it when we got COVID, recently. Together with vitamin D3, Quercetin, Zinc and vitamin C.

Unfortunately, with all of the spin, there's no way to know how well or if... but... enough credible people recommended it that there didn't seem to be any harm in it.... Other than feeling silly going against all of the spin-masters.

You can clearly observe this tendency at work in the CNBC piece which claims that even though Pfizer is only 39 percent effective, it still protects against serious disease. But this is simply not true, which you can easily see if you take the trouble to look into the data put out by the Israeli government. At roughly the same time that CNBC filed its report, the Israeli Ministry of Health published a bulletin which reported on Covid cases in the country. According to their data, there were 137 serious cases in Israel of which 95 were fully vaccinated and 42 unvaccinated or partially vaccinated (see here and here). In other words, the bulk of the serious cases was comprised of those who had received their shots. If the vaccine was as effective in protecting against heavy illness as the article claims, the numbers would look completely different. The figures published by the Israeli Ministry of Health shows that the claims of Pfizer’s efficacy of protecting against serious Covid are simply untrue.

This has been confirmed by the testimony of Dr Kobi Haviv, Director of Herzog Hospital in Jerusalem. In a recent TV interview, Dr Haviv stated that the fully vaccinated people account for about 90 percent of hospitalizations. Given that less than 90 percent of the Israeli population is fully vaccinated, it would appear that the vaccination not only does not prevent you from contracting the disease, but actually increases one’s chances of becoming a serious Covid case. Observes Dr Haviv: “yes, unfortunately, the vaccine… as they say, its effectiveness is waning.” And so it is, indeed. Dr Haviv’s interview is on YouTube so you can hear the truth straight from his mouth. It will be interesting to see how long it will take for the Establishment Censors to take it down.
RUBBISH
Here's the video:


If the vaccine is 95+% effective then why are Pfizer and Moderna rolling out booster shots?
Little White lies ----> Lies ---> Bold faced lies ---> Damnable Lies ---> Statistics. :lol:

I'm not inclined to spend much time showing you the holes in this morons theories.... I'll bow out from this thread entirely now, but leave you with 2 thoughts on this...

1. In a country with ~10M people and a ~60% vaccination rate (Israel), plus however many with natural immunity following infection/recovery, the fact that they only have 137 serious cases is a testament to herd immunity (natural + vaccination).

2. The below quote discredits anything this man has to say.... Choose to believe it at your own peril. I'm done trying to discuss this topic here. Belief of this rubbish makes me want to :banghead:

There is NOTHING about the vaccine that can modify your genetic code.

I hope that was intended as a joke.

Sorry, that's wildly incorrect. The Pfizer vaccine is effective as well. If it weren't, then why are 95% of the Delta cases unvaccinated?
I've posted the data.

Israeli data shows 85% of new COVID Delta infections in Israel are fully vaccinated and that the Israeli vaccinated exceed the unvaccinated in absolute terms in critical cases, hospitalizations, and symptomatic cases. UK announced 60% of the hospitalized were vaccinated, before they retracted their lengthy statement on the subject. Israel and the UK experienced Delta first and we would be wise to learn from their experience.

Gibraltar is 100% vaccinated, so their recent spike in cases is of vaccinated individuals.

There are some preliminary US numbers that show that the unvaccinated are hospitalized more than the vaccinated... to date...
If a country is nearly fully vaccinated, does it not make sense that new cases would be, by definition, breakthrough?

The vaccines provide the best current protection against severe illness and death. /fact

You're welcome to test the fates, risk exposure to Delta, ride it out, and hope you don't get seriously sick, or have long-haul covid and the long-term health issues that come with that. Or, get a vaccine that tens (hundreds?) of millions have taken with relatively few adverse reactions and dramatically reduce your risk of getting severe illness.

Because the current CDC protocol is not to test vaccinated people with covid symptoms unless they're hospitalized. Purpose: to keep down the numbers of cases among the vaccinated to make it look like only the unvaccinated are coming down with the virus.
:banghead:

So..... if.... vaccinated people are such a small minotiry of those hospitalized, then, the vaccine doesn't work because that number isn't zero?

As the virus spreads and spreads, it will continue to mutate and mutate and mutate, until eventually we'll have a variant that is completely resistant to the vaccines. Then we'll be back to Square One. Worse, actually. Nice. GET YOUR FREAKING SHOT!!!!
According to the preliminary data Moderna is the only vaccine effective against Delta variant. Based on historical data we have around 40 days left of this wave of Delta variant. It takes 28 days for the 2 Moderna shots, and another 14 days after that to be considered fully vaccinated.

So if someone went to get Moderna today, they would be fully vaccinated right after the end of this Delta variant wave.

Or they could get an N95/KN95, wear it, and be protected today.

Team Biden knows this and they are playing everyone for fools.
You and I haven't agreed much in this thread, but, we're on the same page here.

Daddio-on-patio wrote: Tue Jul 27, 2021 1:28 pmIf you accept some personal observation. The EMS agency I am a part of serves a County with 69,000 people that is said to be 38% vaccinated. We have had a recent uptick in COVID cases. Over the last 3 months we averaged 4 enhanced precaution calls per week. Over the last two weeks we have run a total of 37. I have transported 7 of those calls. 5 being confirmed positive prior to calling EMS. 1 was not vaccinated and presented extremely ill. The other 4 (1 Moderna and 3 Phizer), while not feeling well, presented with substantially better vitals with the exception of one that suffered significant ortho-static hypotension. The unvaccinated ended up in ICU. 3 others discharged from the ED. The hypotension patient outcome, which was yesterday, has not been relayed to us.

If by demanding a published report would satisfy you I suppose you are then a champion of global warming, firearms are evil and Biden won the election.
This is consistent with everything I am reading from reliable (not fear mongering) sources as well as from Dr's and Nurses treating COVID patients in Alabama, Chicago, Phoenix and San Diego...... Among those 4 medical professionals, involved with hospitals treating over 200 covid patients, only one of them can identify one covid inpatient that was fully vaccinated. All the other inpatients are reported as not vaccinated.

As I related earlier, I personally know 4 people with breakthrough covid, within the last 4 weeks. One of them has COPD and was in hospital for 2+ weeks. Given remdesivir and supplemental Oxygen (no need for a ventilator), now released and doing well. The other three felt poorly for a few days, then fine. Three of them (including COPD case) are >75. The 4th is early 50's and immune compromised. All confirmed positive through testing.

The absence of ANY data in this covid fear piece that shows the hospitalization rates for these breakthrough cases makes the entire article purely scare mongering. I am not at all surprised that the ratio of vaccinated people showing up at hospital in Israel is much higher than unvaccinated at the hospital, given vaccination rates. How many of them are admitted and for how long? How many of them are leaving in a coffin?

Read this and go get vaccinated if you have not already. Even if it doesn't 100% prevent you from getting the virus, it absolutely does work to ward off serious illness.

I'm unable to comment on the UK story. They're mostly J&J, IIRC. Not the same as Phizer (Israel) or Moderna.
