Unvaccinated people 11 times more likely to die of covid

What's more pathetic: harassing an old man who is paying to do a radio show or supporting a grifter like Trump?

But, what if they take horse meds? Wouldn't that improve their chances?


I started out with nothing and I still have most of it.

If Allison Williams, formerly of ESPN, gets covid, I think horse medicine would be appropriate.

This is personal for me. I’m currently quarantined at home until tomorrow with Covid which I was diagnosed with last Wednesday. Started feeling sick last Monday. Caught it from my wife, who started showing symptoms four days before me. She caught it from a coworker. All three of us are vaccinated. My wife and her coworker, because they were vaccinated, we’re not wearing mask in their office. What a mistake. I feel like crap enough right now but I’m getting better. I have zero sympathy for someone who didn’t get the vaccine and gets COVID. Just stay out of the hospital and ICU as you’re getting what you deserved.

Northern Michigan has an infection rate of 16% I am using a mask indoors because it's getting pretty crazy in town.

In Ontario, indoor masking is still the law.

Feel better. I have a coworker that is completing a covid quarantine that is fully vaccinated. His symptoms have been relatively minor from what I understand.

So just to clarify:

Your wife. Vaccinated. Got Covid
Your wife's co-worker. Vaccinated. Got Covid.
You. Vaccinated. Got Covid.

You're all vaccinated, you all got Covid, and what you've learned from this that unvaccinated people who get Covid are deserving of zero sympathy.

Sometimes I feel like I'm living in the Twilight Zone. In what world does this make any logical sense?

Simple. I have zero tolerance and empathy for those who get COVID-19 and refused to get the vaccine. You had a way to protect yourself, Don’t give me the “my choice” argument. Unless you have a MD, OD or PHD behind your name, you’re choosing to remain ignorant over this. There is no logic in not getting this vaccine. Given how much both my wife and I have been coughing, I’m positive that my lungs would have filled up with fluid even more so. The vaccine helped me fight off even worse symptoms. Buddy of mine had that issue a year ago before the vaccines were out and was on a vent for a week.

I’ve got co workers who refuse to get the vaccine which blows my mind. While they have BA’s, none of these degrees are medical related.

You all "protected" yourself. And you all got Covid. While I'm not vaccinated, I am protecting myself in other ways. And thus far I've dodged the virus (as far as I know). The vaccine is not the end-all-be-all protection (clearly).

I don't need an MD, OD, or PHD to engage in statistical analysis or risk assessment. Age, by far, is the biggest predictor of how severe symptoms will be if you get Covid - even moreso than vaccination status. As someone who is fairly young and without any underlying conditions, Covid isn't even in the list of top 10 things likely to kill me this year.

Do YOU have an MD, OD, or PHD in front of your name? If not, you're in no more of a position to make that statement than I am to say that there are logical reasons to not get the vaccine. How's this for starters: I don't want to take a shot every 8 months for the rest of my life. You want your 3 shots every 2 years? Good for you. Take your shots. We have no idea what the long-term consequences are of getting say 15 Covid shots over a 10-year period.

Perhaps. But that is mere speculation.
