I've lost a kidney and a portion of my colon to two different cancers. Since then I've had four Covid shots. I get my medical advice from my doctor, not a slanted publication, a politician, or a website.
The earliest outbreaks of Covid were deadly. I lost two acquaintances. The current variance is much milder. My wife and I had Covid last summer and took Paxlovid. We felt normal in 36 hours.
The jab puts the odds in your favor. Same as with so many diseases we have conquered with vaccines and medications.
Earliest outbreaks deadly?
Give me some numbers please, total % of infected people who died.
Now, elderly folks/ folks with numerous comorbidities, immune deficiency, etc, did have elevated mortality rates.
But three of my immediate family are in health care, and between them, there was ONE instance of them being surprised that someone died from it. Most were in pretty rough shape before.
Interesting thing, countries that had bad flu outbreaks the year before Covid, had lower mortality rates from covid, ie, those in bad shape had already died.
My doctor of 35 years told me to NEVER trust the CDC or NIH after the whole Covid thing.
He feels personally betrayed by them as they are now " political organizations rather than medical".
And FWIW, he advised me to get vaccinated when it first came out
I declined.
And you KNOW how effective the vaccine is when they literally had to change the definition of of the word vaccine.
