I’ll share my story. I’m 6’0, 210ish former college football player and former lower level professional mma fighter. I workout and train 4-5 days a week and keep my diet fairly decent. I’m 41 with 4 kids and am no David Goggins but still train hard and take care of myself and am in pretty good shape for my stage of life.
I was on a business trip (related to the vaccine ironically) and was in a meeting with a colleague and client that were all vaccinated. I was the only one not. We had to wear masks and distance per their policy. The next day I get a call from my colleague saying he started feeling bad on the flight home and tested positive for Covid. I kept my distance from folks and worked from home for a week.
A week later I didn’t sleep well and woke up with a headache. I napped the next day and felt better but that night I had 100.5 fever. Other than that, no symptoms. Slept it off and kicked the fever the next day. No further symptoms for a couple of days then I got a little chest congestion. On day 5 I woke up with no smell. I felt something everyday but it was less than what I would feel with a cold. But it lingered. I called teledoc to get ivermectin to shorten the symptoms and they said they would not prescribe it due to not being approved by the FDA. I asked if they recommended the vaccine moving forward and they emphatically said yes. I asked if they saw the irony in that (at the time none of the vaccines were approved).
Fast forward and 10 days in I test negative. Day 11 negative again. I’m now free to move about the cabin. But my smell was still touch and go and my chest congestion was still hanging around. Nothing worse than a slight cold but lingering and annoying when training. My vaxed buddy was hurting for almost 4 weeks but he has some health issues. Not obese but not really healthy.
Day 11 the wife tests positive. We go to our physician who put us both on z packs, ivermectin and Lipitor along with c, zinc, d and Pepcid. I told him I was good since I was negative and he said the nagging symptoms could linger for another 4-6 weeks, but we can treat it and it’ll be gone In 5 days.
He also asked if we were vaccinated and when we said no his response was, “well you are now.” He recommended the vax especially for high risk folks, but was adamant that this disease is very treatable. The problem is that doctors were not treating it but rather sending positive patients home to wait it out. He’s had great success treating it.
Long story summarized…the bug wasn’t bad for me or the wife. More of annoyance. The kids never got it. Masks are shit. This thing is highly contagious and we are all getting it. If you feel that getting vaccinated is the right choice then go get you some. If you don’t, don’t. Either way, worry about yourself not me. Treatment for me knocked the annoyance out lickedy split and both of our prescriptions were less than $60 combined (odd they haven’t been treating more but rather opting for hospitalization to begin treating - could it be the $ invovled?).
Lastly, this business model by big pharma is amazing. No liability. Put the world on a subscription plan and now getting companies to mandate it. I smell a rat.
