To be utterly fed up of covid

158 replies

SingMeToSIeep · 21/11/2022 09:52

I've just tested positive for the seventh fucking time. Last time was mid September. I've had it five times this year.

I've had to cancel a hospital appointment that had been rescheduled from the last time I had it and a dentist's appointment that I'm desperate for. Also a long planned day out yesterday. Plus I feel like utter shite. Again.

Just want a moan and some sympathy really. Bastard covid.

@MrsHollingberry Clutching at straws with Thalidomide!

You are basically saying there was a worldwide conspiracy to get everyone vaccinated - hear your self!!!!

As far as i am aware, no one was required to prove vaccination status to go anywhere, other than international travel and even then, a PCR test would be ok.

Only care workers were required to have a vaccination and even that was quickly changed, for 99% of the pop. it wasn't a factor.

Amazing that you'd primarily use the internet to research a particular treatment but that same source of information has been silenced on covid vaccinations...

Thalidomide is just a well known example of a medication that was given to trusting people which turned out to cause serious harm. I don't see why that is 'clutching at straws.'

And why would I need to say there was a 'worldwide conspiracy to get everyone vaccinated'? There was no 'conspiracy' - it was a clear and openly stated target by the governments of most countries in the world (in the west, at least) to get everyone vaccinated.

The government made it mandatory for all NHS workers to have the jab. They only backed down, because thousands threatened to resign over it and thousands marched in London to protest against it (which was not reported in most of the mainstream media).

In some countries such as Germany and Austria, forced vaccination was brought into law (though thankfully never carried out). Many other countries had restrictions on movement for the unvaccinated so forgive me if I'm slightly suspicious of the government wanting me to take an experimental medical procedure for a disease with a 99.8% survival rate.

Your final sentence does not make sense so I am unable to reply to that point. Perhaps you could clarify.

I’ve never tested. If I feel unwell, any kind of unwell, I stay at home.

I'd love to not have to test but there you go!

What is a Covidian True Believer? Do you not believe in covid?

I wondered this, too, @MrsHollingberry.

Care to elaborate?

A Covidian True Believer is someone who unquestioningly believes in whatever the prevailing official media/government narrative is on Covid and related matters. That's just my definition though, others may vary.

There is also the thought that vax injuries are an anti vaxx conspiracy.

You do realise it’s the vaccinated reporting them - ie - the people that have had the jabs, those anti-vaxxers?

There literally 1000s of well researched medical papers into the new vaccines and their effects, both positive and negative.

Out of interest, whats your view on MMR ? is it safe to give to children?

What's your medical background?

StillSmallVoice · 22/11/2022 16:28

@SingMeToSIeep so sorry to hear you have it again. I am also immunosupressed, and got Covid two weeks after the fourth vaccine, and I had been very careful, shielding and all.

I have only had it once but have been suffering from Long Covid for months. Apparently I am more likely to have long Covid because I have no immune system.

It's frustrating. I feel your pain and I hope you feel better soon.

I also been lucky enough to never have had Covid (am fully vaccinated).

I hope those who are suffering feel better soon.

mrsmoppp · 22/11/2022 16:32

I've just had it for the first time. Triple vax worked all through the pandemic at the hospital. It has absolutely floored me. I've felt dreadful, 13 days later and still full of a cold cough headache.

I don't have one - same as most on here I would imagine.

HM Coroners have proven the AZ jab to be the cause of death in several cases (I think about fifteen so far)

Link?

Then logically, LFTs are pointless because if they say you have Covid, you probably do, but if they say you do not, you may still have it.

Would you use a pregnancy testing kit with a similar reliability?

It's almost as if LFTs were being pushed by drug companies in order to grab huge amounts of taxpayers' money...but surely not!

LFTs are not pointless for people like the OP. You should not be suggesting this!

trollopolis · 22/11/2022 17:41

I've just been googling - across whole UK, there were 9 deaths attributed (by coroner or on certificate as cause of death) to AZ vaccine, and a further 5 where it's on death certificate as a contributory factor (source: ONS)

BBC said that nearly half the adult population of UK had AZ jabs.

(over 211,000 have died of covid)

Dr Andrew Wakefield, he was vilified because he made up research into Autism....and he fooled me, my DD had separate vaccinations.

Millions upon millions of mRNA vaccines have been given out, so on your own argument, they are safe or as safe as any medicine can be, as there simply isn't the research to back up your belief.

AZ isn't really used much now as far as i can tell.

The stuff on LFT's is just fantasy.

NB these are cases where the vaccine has been cited as the cause of death on the death certificate. I have not been able to find a list of coroner's reports which give the jabs as the cause of death, but if you do a Google search quite a few individual cases will come up, one of whom was known to me (a former colleague) which is one of the reasons I started looking into this.

I'm not positing a 'belief' - I was asked what I thought of MMR vaccines and giving my opinion, which is that on balance MMR is probably OK because it's been through years of testing and use - unlike the Covid jabs.

211,000 is the number who have died 'with' Covid, I believe. The number who have died 'of' Covid as the sole cause of death is much smaller.

I am not 'suggesting' anything to anyone. I am merely repeating what others have said on here, that the LFT is not fully accurate, and therefore cannot be relied upon as a 'test' for Covid, it is not and never was intended for sole diagnostic usage.

antelopevalley · 22/11/2022 18:02

Most people who have died have been retirement age. Once people get older it is very common for people to have medical issues from heart or lung issues. People can live a long time with medical issues, but a serious illness can kill them because of those medical issues.
The average years lost by someone who died with covid was 10 years i.e. they would have been expected to live another 10 years.

Amboseli · 22/11/2022 18:05

I've never had it. Am fully vaccinated. Only ever tested before going on holiday, seeing parents etc. Never had any symptoms so never needed to test otherwise.

I'm amazed people have had it so many times. I hope some research is done on why some people are seemingly immune.
