Triple Vaccinated and covid positive

[Laniey]

First vaccine: Dec 2020
Second vaccine Jan 2021
Booster: Oct 2021

Positive PCR today.

This is what I don’t understand. If you are just as capable of catching Covid with the vaccines, then why penalise unvaxxed people from jobs (this is about the estate agent in the other thread). I’m double vacxed but it’s for my own benefit more than anyone else’s. Surely it’s that person who sufffers that didn’t get the vaccine?

Yeah I know someone who has covid after 3 jabs but tbh booster was about 10 days before she had symptoms . It was only very mild though like a cold so imo the vaccine does help .

@Frauhubert

Double vaxxed husband developed a very mild, cold like covid. Me double vaxxed living in the same house didn’t get it despite daily contact. Howeever, my schoold friend who was 32, not vaccinated at all, strong healthy man, 34 years old died from covid 2 weeks ago. He didn’t have a hidden underlying condition, family are devastated.

Wow that really brings it home

Pre-vaccine it felt like Russian roulette.

Do hope they will work against Omicron.

I had my vaccines jan, march and October. Was starting to think I had natural immunity after all the hospital exposure I have had. Positive LFT this morning and I have hardly moved from my bed all day.

I've got it too despite having had the booster in October. I feel so lucky to have had the booster as I have mild symptoms compared other family members who are not yet boosted.

We’re all going to get it eventually!

What are your symptoms @Laniey ?
Interested to know what we should look out for when triple jabbed

For a start it depends what jobs they're doing. When my dad was in a nursing home on end of life care I'd have been deeply unimpressed if an unvaccinated, covid carrying staff member had sped him on his way, for instance.

Secondly, transmission is how the virus mutates. Every person who gets vaccinated reduces the chance of transmission and therefore the opportunity for the virus to mutate and get stronger, ultimately benefitting everyone.

@hopsalong

I'm only double vaccinated and I have it now. Have had it before too, in March 2020 (at least, had positive antibody test in summer 2020). My highly unscientific and entirely personal opinion is that the vaccines are a load of bollocks. A vaccine against a single disease is meant to produce lifelong or at least many decades of total immunity from one, maybe two initial doses. We've accepted that the flu vaccine doesn't do this, but the different strains of flu are much more heterogeneous than the Covid-19 variants. And other than older / more vulnerable people no one used to bother with the flu vaccine anyway.

My new view is that anyone living a moderately normal life is just going to get it every year or two, as with the other endemic coronaviruses. Any other outcome is going to be extraordinarily difficult, perhaps impossible, to achieve.

Totally agree

Because the actual data shows that you are not just as capable of catching Covid with the vaccines,despite the posts on here? Also, if you have the vax you are less likely to need a hospital bed and clog up the NHS.

I don't know if Omicron will change this.

What we aren’t being told is whether anyone has died from Covid after being fully vaccinated . We are being sold this line that I’d you have three jabs you won’t die. I’m not so sure about that. I would like to see all the statistics on who has died , what their status , health and age was and whether they had any other conditions.

We were told it massively reduces your chance of getting seriously ill and dying. That’s obviously been the case looking at the number of deaths now compared to before.

I thought viruses got more transmissible but less severe?

They can.

They don’t have to.

So sorry. Whole family unvaxxed and fine here. Did have Covid in 2020 and accidentally did a 5k!

I think we’ve all forgotten just how ill people got last year. We were running out of oxygen as so many needed ventilation and leaving people at home until severely ill.
If you have covid but are well enough to post on here the vaccine has worked.

I thought hoped viruses got more transmissible but less severe is what you mean. It hasn't yet been made law!

Triple vaxxed here, waiting for pcr that will almost certainly be positive.

Mild symptoms so far, not nice but very far from the illest I've ever been.

Worst part is the timing, having to cancel stuff and stay at home when I'm so busy.

@justasking111

DS had covid march 2019 then again may 2021 now aged 20 double jabbed so hopefully he'll avoid Omicron having had alpha and Delta but who knows

I assume you mean March 2020. How does he know, though, because they were only testing hospitalised people back then?

I am triple vaxxed and went out with a number of friends who are boosted and some have had covid before. So many of us have caught it.

It looks like this Omicron varient is less severe than Delta so hopefully it continues like that

I had Delta at 40 and in late pregnancy and it was just a shit cold

It's like childbirth everyone's experience is different

It's like childbirth everyone's experience is different

On an individual level, yes. We do have science that tells us what proportion of people would be expected to go to hospital/die. It’s just a bit early with omicron to know that yet.

It's all random and what is in the virus favour.

Viruses dont have to get milder and fizzle out. Bird flu is pretty deadly but not easily transmitted human to human. If if could mutate to be transmisable human to human that would be a very bad outcome as its 60% lethal.

Please not like childbirth!

My unvaccinated friend just had covid and felt fine - unvaccinated wife didn't catch it (slept in same room)

Vaccinated friend had if and had to have paramedic due to breathing difficulties

No one knows what will happen!
