OT Covid vaccine

I always appreciate ambling's posts, for what it's worth.

Saying that : " the PCR test can produce false positives", does not mean it is inaccurate or unusable! It has to be used correctly of course.

Saying that Mullis said, back in 1993 : " the PCR was being improperly used by researchers to estimate free viral mRNAs", has nothing at all to do with its use for covid 19 in 2020. Mullis was talking about PCR use within the context of testing viral load (the amount of virus present) in people with HIV

That is why it is nonsense.

Some people love conspiracy theories. They want to believe that Bill Gates, Dr Fauci and the 'government' have created the pandemic to profit from it. They want to believe the testing is all bogus, designed to make the 'fake' pandemic seem real.

5th friend had covid shot this afternoon. She said her arm is very achy, she has pretty bad fatigue and she has a headache worse than when her migraine occurs. She had 2 natural.childbirths and described that pain as minimal...so for her to say this is "sorta rough" concerns me. She is not concerned though. She said 24 to 48 hours of feeling like this is worth taking the shot.

If you react like this to vaccination shot 1 will shot 2 be worse? Ill let you know what she says then...

Anyone read anything about people taking the shot with Crohns, asthma, allergies (medications, shellfish and seasonal plants) plus kidney issues? I will still take it when it becomes available...just want to be prepared...

Oh and on those people that don't think Covid is real....lets put them in the hospital to help out those people that don't really have anything wrong with them....that are dying gasping for air. Most horrible thing to watch anyone go thru!!!

Mask up, stay at home and sanitize like crazy.

These things are scary indeed.
However, the incidence of Bell's palsy in the trials was still lower than the normal incidence in the general population.
It's important not to panic and draw unfounded conclusions.

Young people don't spread the illness??? And only older people are really at risk??

Wow.

Someone else take this one

IAC,
I respectfully disagree with you. I do not have the articles available at this time...however I have read numereous articles that indicate just the opposite.
Ahhh...someone else posted them..Thanks...

A study of almost 10 million people in Wuhan, China, found that asymptomatic spread of COVID-19 did not occur. This was published in the well regarded Science publication, Nature, and perhaps may help undermine the need for lockdowns, which are built on the premise of the virus is unwittingly spread by infectious, asymptomatic people.

The citywide nucleic acid screening of SARS-CoV-2 infection in Wuhan recruited nearly 10 million people, and found no newly confirmed cases with COVID-19. The detection rate of asymptomatic positive cases was very low, and there was no evidence of transmission from asymptomatic positive persons to traced close contacts.

Re asymptomatic spreaders: Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

Anyway I have two female friends my age (late 30s) who got long covid, still having debilitating symptoms after 200 days. One of them was super healthy, used to go running every day, weight lifting, etc etc - spent 6 weeks in bed and at 9 months is only 75% better.

Regarding young people, there was an outbreak at my 10 year old niece's school. She infected her whole family (2 adults 2 kids).

Which vaccine did your friend get, Jane? / Old Hat

She took the pfizer one. I will post if I hear from anyone else.

I am in a workplace where 150 people received the Moderna vaccine 10 days ago. I experienced a sore arm at the injection site the next day. I took a long nap the day of the vaccine as well. To my knowledge nobody in my workplace experienced anything unusual from the vaccine. Sore arm was the normal complaint. Only other side effect for me has been peace of mind.
