Covid/2022

The vaccine is working for you. I know that sounds strange, but the vaccine revs up your immune system, that’s what the symptoms are. Then, it’s adequately prepped for the actual virus and deals with it easily.
Yeah. When I described my experiences with the first 2 shots, the PI in the study said I had an "enthusiastic response", and that is a good thing.

@Clove Hitch may have some insight on this. I have had 5 shots, thus far. All Moderna. Each and every time, I had side effects wash over me like a wave. Headache, body aches, chills, fever (first 4 times). It was like having the flu hit you like Mike Tyson, and then everything vaporizes within 18-30 hours.

I have had COVID twice (that I know of). Completely asymptomatic. Never felt a thing. Just popped a positive PCR test at work.

Can anyone help that make sense to me?

I dunno if it makes any sense, but what we think of as symptoms of cold/flu are actually due to the body's immune system throttling up. Your temperature rises because pathogens reproduce slower at higher temps while T-cells and other fighters both reproduce faster and it's easier for them to kill pathogens. The lungs and respiratory tissues produce lots of mucus to flush out pathogens and also clear dead cells lining the airway. I forget the reason for headaches and joints aching but that's the immune system doing that too.

So what's happening is that you get the vaccine, and your immune system goes "RED ALERT!! BATTLE STATIONS!!" and it hurts. Then the disease itself comes along and your body says, meh, this is easy.

And the trumpalos keep right on insisting that "the vaccines don't work."

So by that logic, if we felt no ill effects from any of the 5 shots we might not be fully protected??

My Moderna response was too enthusiastic for my tastes. The first two had me down for two + straight days ... and then on the third day I "felt" the fever dissipate. Really, over a few minutes I went from sweaty fever to feeling human again. This last booster, the bivalent, and 5th one, so far, kicked my butt for about 12 hours.

For me, it was listen to TFG or Fauci. Easy peasy. Most of my buds, all tough old birds, chose not to be vaccinated. Several got sick, none in my circle died tho we all knew folks who kicked ... all oldsters. Too dumb to be scared.

Interesting experiences. My first two shots were Pfizer, and I didn't feel them going in, no symptoms at all. My second two were Moderna, and they both hurt like hell going in, my arm was sore for a few days after each one. My last shot was the Pfizer bivalent, and it was like the first two. As far as I know, I have never had Covid.

Good.
This country is arguably overcrowded, especially with fat stupid people.

What we need is a plague with a high fatality rate, kill off huge numbers of the people who have been convinced that avoiding the plague is for libtards.

That should be easy with a 50% death rate for the unvaccinated.

I should add that this is not a call to arms. However, if the Houston case expands then I would tighten up as we did at the beginning of covid and I would call my doctor for advice on vaccines. At present, I do know there is no MRNa development for this at the moment, but there are other choices available if it comes to that.

Would Ivermectin work?

From Wall Street Journal:

WASHINGTON—The U.S. Energy Department has concluded that the Covid pandemic most likely arose from a laboratory leak, according to a classified intelligence report recently provided to the White House and key members of Congress.

The shift by the Energy Department, which previously was undecided on how the virus emerged, is noted in an update to a 2021 document by Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines’s office.

The new report highlights how different parts of the intelligence community have arrived at disparate judgments about the pandemic’s origin. The Energy Department now joins the Federal Bureau of Investigation in saying the virus likely spread via a mishap at a Chinese laboratory. Four other agencies, along with a national intelligence panel, still judge that it was likely the result of a natural transmission, and two are undecided.

The Energy Department’s conclusion is the result of new intelligence and is significant because the agency has considerable scientific expertise and oversees a network of U.S. national laboratories, some of which conduct advanced biological research.

Unfortunately paywalled. I'd like to hear/read further details.

this was a big big topic on this mornings' talk-talk news. All the pro-Republican talking heads were ballyhooing that they were RIGHT ALL ALONG, they knew it was those sneaky-ass Chinks from the beginning.

My question is, what is known now and how was it learned, that was not known last year when the greater concensus of informed opinion was the covid virus came into humans from the wild?

One important point that got shouted down by the pro-Republican is that saying the virus got transmitted to humans via a lab leak is not the same thing as saying that the virus is artificial in origin.

“The Energy Department made its judgment with “low confidence,” according to people who have read the classified report.”

Yeah, I have not been able to find any news facts upon which investigators base this switch. Still looking. But this would be a really really bad time to have Dog2 proven correct about repeating bullshit over and over and over until it's accepted as "truth."

The people obsessed with the origin of Covid are usually those the least willing to do anything about it or in fact combat those efforts. I don't care who started the fire I just want everyone to help put it out.
