Say What!

Safe is only a relative concept.

8 months ago I started vaccinations. I completed the 2 shots 1 month apart. I did not have a reaction to the vaccine although some people did. But did anything happen? What? What did it mean? Were we SAFE from the virus and the pandemic now that we took the next step.

It is 8 months later and the population did not become vaccinated as planned. Many have refused to even consider the action. There are many reasons. It is HERD non-immunation! I see it as a reaction to lies told and believed at the start of the pandemic. But it is what it is. We can never know what might have happened.

There are people in the population that are sick, no, actually, with Covid. Some know but don’t believe it. Some know and don’t care. Some don’t know. Here is the amazing thing, if you don’t think you have it you can’t get a test for it! The plan seems to leave the general population in the OLD Fashion condition, you can get “immune’d” by surviving the infection.

NOW CONSIDER THIS

Did the vaccine work?
I don’t know.
What was it supposed to do?
Keep us from ever getting Covid-19!
Not true. But it is the goal!

Vaccines: The Basics (copied from various sources and annotated without permission)

Vaccines contain the same germs that cause disease. But they have been either killed or weakened to the point that they don’t make you sick. Some vaccines contain only a part of the disease germ.

A vaccine stimulates your immune system to produce antibodies, exactly like it would if you were exposed to the disease. After getting vaccinated, you develop immunity to that disease, without having to get the disease first. That is sort of True?

The source said “This is what makes vaccines such powerful medicine. Unlike most medicines, which treat or cure diseases, vaccines prevent them”. This is false to a point. stimulates not prevents is correct. A vaccine is not designed to prevent anything just make the body, your body, do what God designed it to do when you want it to, when you can watch and take action if anything does wrong, not at a pandemic time.

The source said “However, no vaccine is 100% effective and, though rare, fully vaccinated people can contract coronavirus”. This is false. The vaccine always stimulates your immune system to produce antibodies. 100%, always, if it does not kill you, it works. Can the antibodies prevent another infection? Will they pass the test of time? These are actually the questions and where the less-than-100% results come in.

These cases, fully vaccinated people with coronavirus, known as breakthrough infections, can cause COVID-like symptoms — or no symptoms at all. It is always nice to have a name for failure that does not sound like the failure it is! This is realistic when a vaccine is tested and proven but not when everyone knows the process has not been finished.

It was 8 months after the vaccinations started and normal activities had resumed for a good part. Mask requirements were lifted. Groups were meeting together, in person. I was there. The day after one such meeting for regular activities I heard that a person attending had tested positive. I waited and nothing changed with me. It happened again weeks later. A different person came down with Covid-19. A person there was tested due to close contact, positive results. I was tested, positive results. Breakthrough infections both, we 2 were fully vaccinated.

Now, a little over 8 months after, we 2 will live we think. Will this natural immunization work better than the manufactured version? Can the new antibodies prevent another infection? Will these antibodies pass the test of time?

Everyone knows the process will continue.

This is now again 2 weeks of further process. The Covid was not bad! OTC Meds worked for us. The ‘initial group’ of infection was not vaccinated. The natural nature of the ‘process’ occurred. All got sick, Most recovered. One had complications into pneumonia and entered Emergency Room Care, Was put on a respirator, Got worse, Died.

My infection source did recover very well. Another friend, unvaccinated, got it from from us. Because we are vaccinated we passed a weakened version to them and they developed antibodies naturally.

I, however, developed complications into pneumonia and entered Emergency Room Care! WOW! Did I mention I have COPD, Sleep Apnea and am ‘a little’ Old. I almost died from the cure. I was extremely tired and fell asleep and, of course stopped breathing. Panicked response to what was expected had me on the brink of incubation and the respirator. I came back before completed so I don’t have to recover from the cutting. Antibiotics worked its magic. I got a CPAP machine, Added Oxygen supply, Received antivirals, Stayed 4 days.

I am home. Insurance is covering the cost of home oxygen supply. This is helping a better feeling. My O2 dropped but not critically. I will be cautious for several months. I have just canceled a flight to Washington. I don’t feel good about traveling. Improvement is very slow.

Everyone knows the process continues.

3 Months After Infection Positive

I woke up yesterday. I had slept only 8 hours and I felt good. Why was this such a Good thing? I have been sleeping 12+ hours every night and still getting tired after a few minutes activity or a few hours of being awake. This had actually been the status for almost 2 years. Covid 19 Lockdown in March 2020 was still a normal day. I attended a training class 80 miles away, spent the entire day, came home and still felt OK. That was 20 months ago now. All that time went very slowly except the trip to the Emergency Room. That change happened in just 2 days!

I think I am putting an END on this tale. Hopefully I won’t reopen it. I don’t think I will need or get the third vaccine shot. I feel being sick and surviving did that for me. I am happy that I feel this way after only 3 month after a POSITIVE test!

Everyone knows the process continues.

Happy Spot

Where has my Happy Spot gone?

I’m sitting here in the dark typing on a keyboard. At one time this was pleasing for me. I remember when I was hospitalized recovering from surgery, lying in bed, looking at the television screen, confused that I could find the keyboard that paired with the monitor! My thought then was “F*** it all. If they won’t give me the keyboard it is their problem”. Well it wasn’t my problem anyway. Now I’m here doing nothing and still not happy. What the hell has happened?

I guess the goal in life is not finding my Happy Spot after all. Looking for some Happy Spot is just what we do. Not finding it is mostly what happens. I find myself settling for what makes me feel the least bad. And even that is hard lately. But. . . There is always something at the bottom of the list. It is the nature of a list! To have a last item!

I kept a pile of ROCKs in the backyard and a large hammer in the tool shed and it gave me pleasure making ROCKs into GRAVEL. Not that having GRAVEL is a better thing than having ROCKs but destroying ROCKs myself seemed better than seeing others do it. ROCKs were just a placeholder for other things in life. Now all I see is other destroying ROCKs and I have no pleasure in it.

It seems that the whole world doesn’t give a damn. And I don’t either. What a pathetic state to have no Happy Spot to search for.
