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.

I wish it was in the past. I’m still living with chronic migraine triggered by covid late 2020. It’s not fun.

How are you feeling today OP

hello, thank you for asking, I have had a spell of definite improvement this morning, getting very sleepy again now, but this was certainly the best I have felt for days xx

Yes, I suspect it's been reposted somewhere. Too many rabbits trying to show their holes.

yes, I expect you are right. Still, there is always the hope that someone might be helped by bringing their delusions to MN and seeing the rational responses to them? I don't know, I hope so.

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.

Hmm, well, no vaccinated person I know has died from Covid, while I know - knew - two unvaccinated people who have, one before vaccinations were available and one anti-vaxxer. She was in her mid-40s and otherwise perfectly healthy, but died gasping for air in hospital leaving her autistic daughter with no carer. Meanwhile, no vaccinated person I know has had any adverse effects, unless you count an uncontrolled growth of conspiracy theories and a tendency to attribute health issues that are obviously the direct result of multiple bouts of Covid to having been vaccinated several years earlier.

CwmYoy · 12/06/2024 11:41

Both my relatives who died of Covid were vaccinated.

Coffeeinsunshine · 12/06/2024 11:47

I'm sorry for your loss.

Coffeeinsunshine · 12/06/2024 11:47

@sixtyandsomething glad you're having a better day.

Coffeeinsunshine · 12/06/2024 11:50

FWIW, I believe some people have been vaccine injured. If I was one of them, I'd be tearing my hair out trying to get heard amongst some of the cranks purporting to speak on their behalf.

OperationPushkin · 12/06/2024 11:53

This thread is like a blast from the past. The same tired and flawed arguments, the same insistence that Covid is no worse than a cold, the sheer nonsense about vaccines. One would think we were still living in 2020.

No one has died from Covid? Good God. Tell that to the relatives of the millions of people worldwide who have died.

I've never been ill with Covid. I tested positive once but felt perfectly fine, I only tested because it was required at the time. And when the vaccines became available, I got one as soon as I could and I've had boosters whenever possible. I know I have been extremely lucky so far, but I'm not willing to rely on luck alone. I will continue to take advantage of modern medicine, including vaccines.

I hope you feel better soon @sixtyandsomething

I do love the phrase "turbo cancer" I feel like it is a bit of an upgrade from being told my cancer is highly aggressive! I am going to refer to it as my turbo cancer from now on 😂

How are you feeling? I’m glad you have a new name for your cancer. At least you got some useful science from those people on this thread, hey?

Helphusbandsadick · 12/06/2024 13:24

ok So science used to advise pregnant women to drink alcohol and smoke cigarettes until after years of trials and deaths it turned out smoking was extremely bad for you and caused cancers. Pregnant women were also told to take Formaldehyde until further researched proved it was causing deformation with newborns and lots of other birth defects.
I would never blindly accept what people are telling me as gospel and would do my own research into these things.

if you are catching covid as often as you say you are and the people around you are also getting covid left right and centre then I would be looking into my people I come in contact with or possible move to another area. Where I am from it hasn’t been mentioned in years and people are relatively fit and healthy. We are a large town by the seaside with lots of countryside so fresh sea air and plenty of exercise in general. Does the body the world of good and the brain and soul 😁

Anyone who is in denial of vaccine injury is as misguided as the “Covid is a hoax!” gang. I cannot imagine how harrowing it must be and I believe those people wholeheartedly. The vaccine compensation scheme is not fit for purpose. I also completely understand why otherwise healthy people were reluctant to have the Covid vaccine and even more so for their children.

It has to be a balance and people weigh the evidence for themselves. It’s appalling that anti vaxxers question people like the OP about being vaccinated. Suggesting the vaccine is harmful with fake science and no qualifications is the height of arrogance. I wouldn’t encourage anyone to get the vaccine if they were reluctant, I’d suggest they looked at the evidence and spoke to a medic who knows their medical history.

Obviously a paid for shill. 30 Million gone so far. Wake up!

CharlotteLucas3 · 12/06/2024 13:45

I don’t think it’s fair to scoff at @qpid5tunt. The covid vaccination doesn’t work in the same way as other vaccines and it hadn’t been properly tested. I’m not sure if it has now because I’m not particularly interested.

I do think it’s making a lot of money for some pharmaceutical companies and we should therefore be a little more questioning.

Globalist billionaire Bill Gates has been caught telling his inner circle that a devastating “global famine” is the next step in the elite’s indomitable march towards total global domination.The 500 million souls left on Earth following the great mRNA depopulation will not only be easily controlled, according to Gates, they will also yearn for the level of control that the elites can currently only dream about.With total control of the food supply, farm land, seed banks, and genetically modified soil microbes, Gates has positioned himself to carry out a false flag worse than 9/11.

purebloodEstdec2020 · 12/06/2024 15:21

Tell that to the 30 million who had the poison and are dead.

Coffeeinsunshine · 12/06/2024 15:41

Oh, why didn't I think about Bill Gates?!

Just think, if we did some mitigations, there would be less illness from covid infections, possibly less incentive from some to have the vaccine, less illness from other infections...AND some systems would be in place to tackle more disease accompanied by Bill Gates's famine! We could play the WHO, WEF and government at their own game and have cleaner indoor air for starters.

I’ve been on MN since 2011, I’ve posted under this name for a while. You? 😉

P.S. to whom do I approach for my payment?

I wonder if those microchips we were injected with In the COVID vaccine are still going strong

What I find utterly mindboggling is nobody is even questioning why a computer sales guy is running the world's vaccine programs via "philanthropic" donations and grants totalling billions

Anyone?

OperationPushkin · 12/06/2024 16:52

Oh, I'd forgotten about the microchips! Are we being controlled by the lizard people yet? Or is that a different conspiracy theory? 😅

Coffeeinsunshine · 12/06/2024 17:04

The lizard people hate mitigations for the masses. Sick people are easier to control...especially for lizards. Is Bill Gates a lizard or is it just meant to be the royal family? Sorry to sound naive. Actually, I bet he is and that's why he wants us all to eat insects. If people don't want mitigations instead of high levels of illnesses, maybe they'll want them as an extra defense against lizard people? Knew we could find common ground. Win-win.

Coffeeinsunshine · 12/06/2024 17:06

That's why the lizard king (aka Charles) is spotted with HEPA filters around him. Good enough for their health, but not for the masses.

I think he is a little different than a computer sales person as was involved in development.
He has been giving money away in all sorts of places - possibly to annoy his children and he can't take it with him.
Maybe he wanted to fund medical research when the world was in crisis
