This covid merry-go-round is never going to end, is it

covid again, oxygen monitors again, off work again, informing all vulnerable contacts again, feeling terrible again. I have had 8 immunisations. Well, at least it isn't anything like as bad as it could be without immunisations. But this is never going to end, is it. Every year, at least 2 immunisations, and at least 2 illnesses, until the one that finishes me off , I suppose. That is without counting the disruption when someone else tests positive, instead of me.

Yeah flu was fucking awful for me
I had norovirus for 48hrs, woke up on day 3 thinking I didn't feel sick but why was I so cold

Temp of over 40 and the GP actually did a home visit Blush I was so unwell. Was likely immunocompromised at the time but didn't know then. Shivering, the duvet hurt my legs, roasting hot, sweating, hallucinating things on the ceiling
It was 2 weeks before I was out of bed and then I felt like Bambi trying to walk

CatherineDurrant · 11/06/2024 21:48

Yes, OP. And it's grim.

And covid/over crowd might take a look at the numbers in Spain right now.

sounds horrible - genuine flu can be truly awful, can't it. I have an uncle left wheelchair bound by flu, and a colleague permanently disabled too. Also have known several young men killed over the years, as well as the deaths among older people that you expect. It isn't a trivial illness at all. I always find it odd when people use the phrase "cold and flu" as I think surely that is two diametrically opposed ends of the illness spectrum

still, I expect there will be a couple of posters along in a moment to say flu doesn't really exist, it is all a government conspiracy and we can all protect ourselves from flu by wearing liquorish in our hair or something, and we shouldn't be accepting the flu vaccine because it causes Liverpudlian accents.

What I find weird is everyone I know that didn't take the vaccine is having zero health problems. It's only the vaccinated that seem to be having clots, myocarditis, seizures and aggressive cancers.

I caught Covid in January 2021 BEFORE I had the vaccination. That became Long Covid. Then I had the vaccination...The vaccination didn't make me ill. Covid made me ill.

Are you looking after yourself in other ways OP? Vitamins, exercise, daily sunlight - general things to boost your immune system? Mullein drops are really good for the lungs too.

I wouldn't go there. Another user scolded and mocked me asking if I thought my essential oils would cure her.

JenniferBooth · 11/06/2024 23:01

Quite frankly im much more worried about the E coli outbreak

Coffeeinsunshine · 12/06/2024 03:24

How do you propose making it easier for the vulnerable to protect themselves when they seek healthcare?

At what point did covid become no worse than winter flu?

pebbles8811 · 12/06/2024 03:57

STOP getting the vaccine it’s that making you sick, I’ve had one when Covid kicked off and not once had covid. My gran,sister and best friend who was a nurse during it had all the vaccines plus boosters and constantly caught covid now they’ve stopped they don’t get it anymore. My grans to get it because she’s compromised I told her not to as it’s them making her ill every time she gets one and she’s been fine since

because this is simply not true. All genuine data analysis across the whole world shows very clearly you are many times more likely to die of covid if unvaccinated.

Coffeeinsunshine · 12/06/2024 05:19

What I hate most about the vaccine is that even if you had it years ago with no ill effects, it tricks you into thinking it's covid causing ill effects as somehow people who've had it still get ill from covid. The vaccine can even trick some who haven't had the vaccine into thinking others who also haven't had the vaccine, but coincidentally got ill after a covid infection, that that person got ill from the vaccine.

That’s their data it’s what they want you to think, what about all the people that have dropped dead from taking the vaccine that’s not in their data is it, I also know loads of people who are unvaccinated and again never had covid, your only getting covid because your taking the vaccine they just want to make you sick. That’s my opinion me and my kids are unvaccinated from Covid and never been sick so make it make sense 🤷🏻‍♀️

Oh - how do you know the condition is due to the jabs? Perhaps that's my problem as well - it would be good to get to the bottom of this - please explain

Contact Dr Aseem Maltoura. He will point you in the right direction. He is very busy, but worth a try. He is outstanding in his field..I don't know your condition, he is a cardiologist, but there are other doctors dealing with any injuries that if he can't help with your condition, he might be able to point you in the right direction .

How old are your kids. Did people actually really vaccinate their child? I've had letters for my autistic children, primary school age 😫🤮 I throw them in the bin but think I'm going to call then and have a word. I really will protect him from the covid vaccine! Mynoyher child also ASD no.letters?? Tjeyve had all their childhood ones, snd both aren't often sick either !!.

ForKeenDeer · 12/06/2024 06:09

Sorry, so many typos in last messages. Lol how?. I have 2 children both asd, both very creative, wonderful kods with no health issues, healthy, hardly sick, and I've had a letter in the past for only one of my sons, weirdly, to have the covid vaccine, not happening. So I'll call them and have a word. All ky children have had their childhood vaccines, but no way are they having the covid vaccine. I will protect them.

HammockFullOfRats · 12/06/2024 06:10

People died FROM COVID.

THE STUPID is also distressingly communicable, apparently.

Very, very few people died FROM Covid. That much is clear now. The figures were purposely manipulated to create fear (died WITH it, died within 28d of a test ie a car accident, put on a “pathway” with incorrect drugs or treatment) and encourage “vaccine” uptake.
The few that died FROM were elderly (average age was something like 82?) and with existing conditions. Don’t pretend this was like the Black Death striking down thousands of healthy teenagers in the street…

Is this “genuine data” sponsored and paid for by Big Pharma by chance? Might be worth looking into the funding streams for this data…

12 and 5 and also both have asd I got letter for the oldest to be vaccinated I gave him the option he chose not to get it. I also refused the flu vaccine this year incase they tried to slip on the Covid vaccine too. People can say I’m a conspiracy theorist by all means go ahead but I will protect myself and the kids from this. The government used us as guinea pigs for this vaccine and hoped for the best it’s bloody shocking, they also used lockdown as a way to control the country and see if we would do what they said and we did, it all gave 1984 vibes to me

sixtyandsomething · 10/06/2024 01:24

no, that is not how vaccines work. And "opinion" is an irrelevant concept in these scientific facts. That is like saying This is just my opinion, but surely the sun goes around the Earth.... I still have the capacity to be shocked, not so much by people who don't know basic school science, but by those who don't understand that they don't know. Why would you think this is something your opinion counts in? You won't be able to "opinion" yourself out of being dead or not! sorry if that seems rude- but this comment is just so far from reality that I just don't really know what to say

I love how you have tried to shoot down someone that doesn’t have the same beliefs as you with scientific facts but missed the mark completely with your ‘basic science’

originally vaccines would give you a very small dose of the illness. Not enough to get you sick but enough for your immune system to kick in to fight the infection. So many people would get slightly feverish after a vaccine. Granted I am not entirely sure if this is still the case. And secondly (most importantly) your basic science is incorrect and much to popular beliefs the earth is not the centre of the universe. The earth goes around the sun NOT The sun going around the earth!

just throwing my 2pence in as you have not understood the basic concept of science either.

midgetastic · 12/06/2024 07:48

Well Yes they used lockdown to control the country

It was that or collapse the country - it's their responsibility you know to protect the country ?

Specifically they wanted to minimise deaths, including the Knock on deaths from a collapsed health service

You may have noticed many other well off countries using the same approach ?

You may have noticed health staff and the exhaustion they suffered as the workload was so high?

The people in hospital and dying today from covid still are the unvaccinated

@Monks75

You are so far from the truth. You honestly think that thousands of people each week died from car accidents or the wrong drug pathway?!
