Is there anyone unvaccinated and symptomless with Covid?

Just that really. My family including my 81-year-old mum have all been fine. We are all unvaccinated, mixing freely. Mum and daughter didn't catch it at all from us. Hubby and I were fine - sunbathing and watching ironically Djokovic win Wimbledon.

It's a tad hard to take this OP in good faith, given your other posts and how you refuse to engage with posters....

BUT yes of course, there will be loads of asymptomatic unvaccinated people. Not least because most people are on their second/third/fourth bout.

I suspect this will turn into a thread of anecdotes about how everyone you know who is vaccinated is suffering, whereas everyone unvaccinated is brimming with health, but these stories are redundant in the face of replicated data globally (which many have pointed you to before on other threads).

LaFemmeDamnee · 28/01/2023 19:22

Ffs the whole reason covid spread so easily when it started is that about 2 thirds of people who caught it were comple asymptomatic, merrily walking around germing everyone without so much as a tickly throat. WHY does everyone seem to forget this? So yes the majority of unvaccinated people will be asymptomatic, it doesn't mean that vaccines were unnecessary or don't work.

XenoBitch · 28/01/2023 20:55

If you had no symptoms, then what led to you all getting tested?

Biochemist · 28/01/2023 21:02

I think the most suprising thing about this is that you're someone who pays for LFTs for your entire family and does regular asymptomatic testing, based on your PPs @Marmunia10661975

Perhaps you and your family are genetically supreme. Along with your Covid musings which surpass any views held by the top experts globally. Well done. 💪

AllThatFancyPaintsAsFair · 29/01/2023 06:41

No, Im pretty sure you are actually the only ones in the history of covid. Medical marvel medals are on their way

Hang on though, I forgot about the millions who had asymptomatic covid before the vaccines were developed

Never mind, carry on with the tennis

@AllThatFancyPaintsAsFair

While conveniently forgetting about the millions who died or had their health compromised. I mean who were they anyway? Weaklings? Plebs? I’m damn well not letting them get in my way. Especially if there’s a good game of tennis on.

knittingaddict · 29/01/2023 07:09

Sure op, I believe you. 🙄

TerfOnATrain · 29/01/2023 07:11

I don’t get the point of the post. We had it in jan 2020 unvaccinated asymptomatic.

my dad died of it in Jan 2020 unvaccinated.

we had it again last year, four jabs in, mild cold symptoms.

everyone is different, every strain is different, every viral load is different. I think you’re trying to justify being unvaccinated.

knittingaddict · 29/01/2023 07:11

Also, why the hell hasn't your 81 year old mother been vaccinated? Are you a family of anti vaxxers? Either a lie or sheer stupidity. I'm going for lie.

FindingMeno · 29/01/2023 07:13

Can't vaccinate against selfish anyway.

Judging by OPs previous posts he’s they’re all anti-vaxxers.

@knittingaddict

No it’s both - definitely both. With a hefty dollop of Dunning-Kruger which is now my new favourite term.

UnicorseTime · 29/01/2023 07:22

When we got it pre jabs I was very ill and thought I'd die. My husband however - not a twitch.

The thing is noone really knows which side they fall. We know age is a risk factor though.

Definitely genetically supreme as well as morally superior going by other posts yesterday. Not sure they'd pass a lie detector mind. Though actually, given that how perfectly healthy and marvellous every single member of the family always has been, they're probably just a family of those robots that you think are human till the batteries run out and they start going "euwweeee,weeeeeeee, uuuuuuuu" and then their tin heads drop off and roll under the sofa.

I’m unvaccinated and have had Covid 3 times. Asymptomatic each time, have to do tests for work which is how I knew.

GCAcademic · 29/01/2023 07:42

Sure, Jan.

Kennykenkencat · 29/01/2023 07:58

I can’t have any vaccine as I am allergic to one specific ingredient that is pretty much in all vaccines
Plus another ingredient in the Covid vaccines

As a family we had what we now believe was Covid in December 2019. Myself and Ds really were very ill. Dd was not well for about 3 days and Dh who has cancer and type 1 diabetes was mildly ill for about 24 hours.
Later Dmil who was 95 and in a care home tested positive for Covid and had a slight cough one day and was recovered the next.

After that Dd caught Covid whilst watching the Euros but didn’t realise until she got tested for work a few days later
Just after her work came back to say her test was positive, all her friends contacted her to say they had tested positive. Her friends were really ill

We sat together watching tv, and generally isolated in the house but the rest of us tested a few times but none of us caught it.

Just taking our family I do think it is down to DNA how Covid affects you

Ineedcoffee2021 · 29/01/2023 08:15

Unvaxxed house here - havent even had it that we know of and if we had, we had no idea

A mate of mine unvaxxed had it and her biggest issue was having to stay home and running out of smokes

My vaxxed mates who had it have been bedridden for days

PortiasBiscuit · 29/01/2023 08:34

Gosh, you’re all so clever. Literally why didn’t the rest of think of doing things this way..

MyOldCaravan · 29/01/2023 08:35

Oh please don't say the anti-vaxing crew have arrived on Mumsnet 😡

People get vaccinated to help protect others, as well as themselves.

You clearly have no consideration for others so keep your selfish little views to yourselves.

Ah so my post was vindicated so soon (stories about how the vaccinated people I know are sick as dogs, unvaccinated are bright eyed and bushy tailed)

Cue the next round of my posts telling OP that they're getting these kind of rude replies because "the vaccinated" are scared and lashing out due to secretly knowing it was a big mistake.
