COVID-19, Vaccines, and Related Issues Part XIV

Well, our luck finally ran out. My wife showed symptoms on Saturday AM, although she said she started to feel a little ill Friday night. We shared our usual goodnight kiss Friday night, so I'm exposed. Unfortunately, I just had my booster only on Monday. She tested negative Saturday AM but positive this AM. I guess we'll how my immune system holds up. Also, unfortunately, I had had to take Prednisone for a couple of days for a knee problem, an immune system depressant. So, we're set up. So far, her symptoms are light, so my fingers are crossed...

Pretty sure I got it at the SECCG or on MARTA to and from. I was sick last week. Wife went down over this past weekend and is still recovering. Symptoms similar to when we caught it last time a year or so ago

Liz went to her monthly ladies' club meeting on Tuesday. That's almost certainly when she caught it...

there's also been a nasty flu strain going around over here. my daughter and i both had it 3 weeks ago.
 
After two doses of Paxlovid, she's feeling much better. Even though she's wearing a mask when outside the bedroom, our house doesn't lend itself very well to isolation. Although I had only had my booster and flu shot 6 days or so before she became symptomatic, I still test negative. I've probably had a high IgE count all my life because my mother was malarial while carrying me. Like 75% of such babies, I was born without it. My genetic tests also indicate that I'm highly resistant to viruses, practically immune to norovirus. And, as I've indicated before, IgE is what they test to see if you have alpha-gal syndrome (mammal allergy). For whatever reason, I don't remember having a cold in my adult life. If I survive this, I'm going back to church services in person, rather than attending online. Having a high IgE count has its drawbacks - asthma in some and mast cell activation (runny nose when eating), but I'll take its protection in exchange. It's also implicated in the cytokine storm (immune overreaction occurring in some with Covid), but there is a specific drug for inhibiting it...

Can no one just die anymore? Seems like anytime someone dies the anti-vax crowd litters comment sections with allusions to covid Vax. it has become tiresome.
 
Me suspects me have Covid even though the OTC test was negative.

Slight fever
Congestion
Pain in every joint
Fatigue

I called in to work sick yesterday for the first time since I've been doing contract work.

And it IS making another go-round up here in NE Massachusetts.

Flu or covid sounds like. Feel better selma.

I have been exposed to it 7 times now and still have not even covid. I have however gotten bronchitis twice, pneumonia once and 3 sinus infections since covid started.

Those are the symptoms Liz had and she tested negative the first day, but positive the second day...

My poor friend Ed - now a pastor mind you - had his share of Job's comforters when his 17-year old daughter died of a heart attack while dancing in the office. Yes, she had been vaxxed months earlier, but the part nobody seemed to grasp was she was born without a fully developed heart in the first place and needed emergency surgery in his first days on earth just to live. Granted, she'd had no symptoms of anything.

She passed two years ago.

One year ago, he took a sabbatical for a week in Mexico and everybody had not one but TWO questions: was it Covid
was it the vaccine

And there were agenda setters in both cases.

There were idiots saying that Hamlin guy on Buffalo last year had had his heart stopped because of the vaccine. These are people who couldn't explain the workings of the extrinsic pathway, and yet they KNOW what happened. (If you don't know what the extrinsic pathway is, that's kind of my point; arguing "clot shot" when you cannot even explain the basics of blood coagulation is pretty much a non-starter).

The media is fueling a lot of it because these celebrities die and they almost never list the cause until days, weeks or even moths later. Matthew Perry (a known junkie) dies in a hot tub all these iditos jumped on it and said the (again known junkie) died of the "clot shot". TUrns out that (shocker) it was drugs. Andre braugher dies and the first article said "brief illness". Like clockwork the anti-vax people said "clot shot". Turns out is was lung cancer. Of course these lunatics claim the shot caused that. I had an uncle many years ago (well before covid or "clot shot") that had severe "back pain". That (and a slight cough) was his only real symptoms. He went to the doctor and he had stage 5 lung cancer, he was dead a month later. I guarantee I could post that story without telling what year and they would jump on it and claim it was "clot shot" or "died suddenly". FYI, "died suddenly" is a favorite term of the media. They are doing this crap on purpose and it is annoying me.

After a week of mild post-nasal drip, after going to the gym every day, I was curious last night and tested myself. It went straight to red.

2nd time (that I know of) that I have had Covid, and both times, mild symptoms. Almost asymptomatic.

Of course, I've had about six jabs with the Pfizer vax.

Is Covid becoming just another annoying cold virus?

I've resisted Liz's covid now for 8 days. I've also had six jabs, but, OTOH, I'm pretty resistant anyway. She had a really rough time with the RSV vaccine. I checked and both of them are made from GMO Chinese hamster eggs, which is a no-no for both of us, having AGS. Now, IDK whether to chance it or not...

Obviously your antibodies are strong enough to protect you...RSV and Covid and flu together knocked me on my butt for 2+ days...and most vaccines never bothered me before the bone marrow transplant.

Actually, that sort of reaction is good. It shows a strong immune system. My worst were the second covid and the second Shingrix. I'm a little leery of the RSV...

I got my double-whammy of Covid booster and flu shot in October, and I had similar side effects. MIne were mild (no fever) but I definitely felt really tired about 2 hours after the jabs. Went to bed early that night. I was fine the next day.
