I have 2 cousins, brothers who don't even speak to each other, who each independent of the other, got COVID, were placed upon Ventilators and recovered with the help of physical therapy. My wife has a cousin who also went through the same experience, but with the added life flight to Pittsburgh Pa. for treatment. All are doing better.
Now while the numbers are coming down, we are still in the early stages of this long term event. Every COVID survivor faces unknown future potential issues. But then that is true of SARS survivors, RSV survivors and even Lyme survivors. Remember that Chicken Pox and Chicken Pox shot survivors often face Shingles later on for example. Anyone want to talk about what percent of Shingle victims never had Chicken Pox because of the vaccine, yet got the Shingles? We don't know, thus we try and make informed choices. There are now many voices expressing the benefits and the possible future side effects of the COVID experimental gene therapy shots. On both sides of the issue, really all sides, there is genuine concern as well as agenda driven concerns with this shot. Benefits/Risks! Let each person be convinced in their own mind. Reasonable people can disagree since we are trying to describe a million piece jigsaw puzzle image from only a thousand pieces! Unfortunately we have actors throwing in additional piles of jig saw pieces from other puzzles with their own agenda's...
In our own extended family and friends network, (albeit small because i am such a jerk to deal with), we have people on all sides of this problem. Am I going to "choose this hill to die on?" No! I love and care for them and I think to some extent they for me. We all face choices in life and have to deal with the consequences, and hopefully guilt free not guilt ridden. If a person didn't take the shot, they can continue to not take the shot because it is an emergency use authorization and not a law! Yet COVID is still out there and so they must choose to walk accordingly. I for one will continue to practice better hygiene with the sanitizer as I haven't even had a cold since all this started. If a person took the shot(s) then to me prudence dictates that I watch the side effects as well as the future therapies for treating them. It is becoming common knowledge that some have experienced mild to severe side effects in the short term. But what of the long term? Though the number of side effects have been small in comparison with the total shots given, the actual numbers of side effects are on the higher end for "vaccines" (This shot does not meet the criteria of an FDA approved vaccine.) But what nobody knows is what the long term effects will be.
Substantially contributing to the confusion is the "cooking of the numbers" by all sides to spin their own narrative. Even with the "cooked numbers" we see a very survivable sickness for most, particularly among the younger folks. But for some it has been a devastating nightmare.
As I have written previously, my wife is a 3 time breast cancer survivor. (No she doesn't have 3 breasts...) Each time it was a new cancer caught early. 2 lumpectomies then a breast removal. Her doctors told her she had a 94% chance of not getting it after her second lumpectomy and followup radiation. yet she got it a third time and had that two time breast removed. She wanted both removed but the doctor said if you got a bad kidney we don't take both because there are side effects... Anyways, after the 2nd lumpectomy (once on each side) the cancer doctor wanted her to take a chemo pill that would reduce her chances of that 3rd cancer diagnosis by 50%. Sounds good, but the side effects of that pill are blood clots (she already had that issue) as well as uterine cancer. So the reality is 94% plus 50% of the remaining 6% chance is a net gain of 3% yet the blood clots and uterine cancer side effects were in the 3-5% range according to the cancer doctor. I had to do the math because he wasn't, he was recommending the pill. (Agenda? I don't know) So she didn't take it and still got struck by lightning. Thus mastectomy, but still here and no clots and no uterine cancer.
So you see here with real life situations and real life choices and real life outcomes it is up to each person to make peace with their own decisions. It isn't an easy or sure decision and the danger lies in the agenda's being forced upon us in any direction against our decision and will. Those choices seem to be where the Democratic party is running, yet the Republican's do the same damn thing! Poly=many Tics =blood sucking parasites. Stop letting them split us up and steal our stuff and freedom. The definition of Fascism is the marriage of corporations and governments to suppress individual's rights!
Fight against THAT even for those whose rights are at times at odds with yours. I will never be able to sell you on my beliefs nor you sell me on yours. But what ever happened to logical conversation and debate as well as even the consideration of other points of view? They left when men placed their feelings based opinions over logical and critical thinking right along with science changing their research to being agenda and paid for outcomes by their benefactors. It is a question of morality folks.
