1st Personal COVID Death
shailynn
They never tell you what you need to know.
Anyway this week someone finally passed that I knew personally, he was a client of mine. Late 50s, average health I would assume. Pretty sure he was a hard core right winger so not sure if he was vaccinated or not. Was the type of guy who didn’t like being told what he should do.
How many people have you known personally that have passed?
It’s funny with the exception of wearing a mask in some required/requested places things are pretty damn normal for me these days, a notification of a death kinda makes you feel like you’re taking 3 steps back.
Got something to say?

Full medical records.

Two friends. Both younger than me (early 30s and early 40s). The one in her 30s was a competitive trail runner. The one in his early 40s wasn't an athlete, but he was active and fit (via several athletic young children...).
My cousin was a couple of years younger than me and in fairly good shape. He fought it for several months before it wore him down and he passed in the night. He left behind a wife and two daughters.
Hence, I took it seriously and treated it more seriously than the flu. Because no standard flu season has never produced three extra funerals for healthy people that I couldn't attend (because Covid...).
SJG... Nobody here is going to send you their loved ones' medical records because you're terrified and resentful about losing access to the internet at the library...
... you dumb fucking ghoul.
I made a fast recovery. My doctor said his patients who were cigarette smokers had difficult recoveries and it was a good thing I never smoked. I also maintain a normal weight and take a lot of nutritional supplements. Most people have inadequate diets and don't even take a daily multivitamin. Three fourth of deaths are for people 65 or over and three fourths of deaths involve people who are overweight or obese. Rather than being an anti-vaxxer, I think everyone should do a cost-benefit analysis. People in high risk categories like being older, obese or cigarette smokers should get it. The deputy director of vaccine research for the FDA said if someone is under forty they have a higher chance of being hospitalized from the side effects of the vaccine than of being hospitalized if they catch Covid if they don't get vaccinated. For them, maybe the vaccine isn't such a good idea.
I think everyone close to me has been vaccinated, and that is a good thing. I am returning to my office next month. Initially the mandate was everyone must be vaccinated. Now, it’s strongly encouraged, but not required. I will see how it goes…
There are still so many things to learn about this virus, and returning to some sense of normalcy is ok, but hopefully things will go smoothly.
Given the stats, do people here think everyone should get the vaccine?
At least partially because quotations without attribution don't mean anything.
A former high school art teacher died of COVID, and he was definitely at this point at an older age.
I’ve been lucky it hasn’t been *too* close as far as mortality so far. It’s just scary because my dad had health issues in 2019 that required hospital care and I shudder to think if that would have been available if it had occurred in 2020 or 2021, when trying to compete with covid patients.
I was talking to an early 20s stripper last week and she said she had not been vaccinated. She said she was young and healthy and didn't see any reason. I started to argue with her but decided to save my breath.
It is also understandable to talk about how the circumstances of these deaths have affected attitudes towards Covid-19, the precautions, and the vaccines. That is tied into something that has dominated our lives (regardless of your beliefs surrounding the pandemic) for well over a year now.
But, while people expressed their own natural sadness over these losses, where they occurred, I don't think anyone implied that a Covid death is more "righteous" than a non-Covid death. More topical?... yes. Because that's the topic. But not more righteous.
If someone came on here and asked if anyone lost loved ones in the 9/11 attacks (I did not), it would not change my level of grief regarding those close to me who passed in roughly the same time period. It would also not feel like anyone was trying to diminish or belittle that grief.
If you feel that way, then you're the one bringing it to the table.
Video of Dr. Doran Fink saying it:
FDA DEPUTY DIRECTOR REVEALS THAT VACCINE IS MORE RISKY THAN COVID-19 FOR MALES UNDER 40

Except when you listen to the audio the section in parenthesis (than risk of complications from Covid) was never said and completely changes the context. He said the risk of myocarditis was higher under 40. He never said the risk of myocarditis was greater than the risk of catching Covid 19.
"The facts are clear: this is an extremely rare side effect, and only an exceedingly small number of people will experience it after vaccination. Importantly, for the young people who do, most cases are mild, and individuals recover often on their own or with minimal treatment. In addition, we know that myocarditis and pericarditis are much more common if you get COVID-19, and the risks to the heart from COVID-19 infection can be more severe."
That said in my experience transient tachycardia, particularly with Moderna, is not that uncommon.

Nothing personal here.

So why are you still walking around, and what possible good to any vaccine have?
SJG
This basically is what they tell most people who test positive. Its a little more than just sleeping it off, like maybe a few days, but in essence that it was it is.
And with most of the infections, there is no need for testing or anything, just a need for some sleep. Sometimes 24 hours does it.
We are all being used as political pawns in a campaign of irrational superstitious fear and hysteria.
And it is being done so that we don't talk about Universal Health Care.

Ok, but Universal Health Care would give us 5 years of life expectancy, and probably also neutralize the effects of COVID.

My grandma lost her memory after the second shot and finally went to the hospital after we begged her. It messed with her heart as well but seems like no one wants to talk about that. Her memory came back and she’s ok now but I don’t think it was worth it. Definitely hope she doesn’t get any kind of booster.
