Tigerbomb13 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 My dad’s COVID test came back negative! He was pretty certain he had it. This means mine is likely negative too since him feeling under the weather was my reason for getting one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife’s been doing it since this began while dealing first hand with the idiots and their families. Seriously. Grow the fuck up and get some balls. Your wife throws around 600 50-60 pound boxes all day for ten hours like I do? With a mask on and worn properly the whole time? For 50 hours a week, nonstop? I guess your wife does have balls (you said it, not me). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clinicians who test a vaccine ultimately have more data about it's use and effect than the guy who designed its manufacturing process. One thing you learn working in a University is how narrow expertise can be. I don't know why this guy is off the reservation wrt vaccine use in children, and as I'm about to catch an airplane I'm not inclined to go down his particular rabbit whole to find out right now, but on general principle, being the inventor of the synthesis in and of itself gives him no particular leg up on the clinicians Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger337 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Ever since Trump recommended the vaccine, I have seen a lot fewer vaccine conspiracy theories on Facebook. They have moved on to "Biden is a communist" and "Chinese spies sleeping with Democrats". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gehringer_2 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 (edited) One of the most cautious boosted people I know just texted me he is positive, trivial symptoms.

pfife Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 I tested positive, 2 and a boo here. Symptoms aren't too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oblong Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Did you guys get tested because of symptoms or because you were around someone positive or as a precaution? So many scenarios are playing out. Doc friend told me of families where all have colds and one will test, get a negative, then they all assume negative. Not quite correct. Can’t rely on a single test for multiple people. Could have been flawed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigeraholic1 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 I was at my son's basketball game before Christmas and I over heard parents on the other team talking about COVID. Someone actually brought up the idea of the kids having a COVID party during Christmas break. They wanted their kids to get exposed to a positive kid and quarantine over the holidays so they wouldn't miss any games in January......

Edman85 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Ugh, ignored posts still show up in quotes... That Malone guy was not "THE" inventor of mRNA. He was part of a team involved in its discovery in the 80's and it was tabled for a long time because there were safety issues. There was a breakthrough 15 or so years ago that did away with those safety issues. Besides, we have how many billion doses of mRNA vaccines out administered now? People would be dropping like flies by now, right? 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edman85 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Follow-up instead of editing: Good article on the history of mRNA. You can go and find some of the papers cited and see Malone's name as a contributor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd argue it wasn't moronic, as at the time, the medical community endorsed it. It was a well known disease and it was well known that catching it younger was better, and having it later in life was much more severe. We have a vax for that now, so it's changed. If onmicron is much less severe for all and gives me more antibodies to deal with the next variant, I want it too. Long term we don't know as much about this though, so while i'm triple vaxed and not as cautious as I used to be, I'm still going to try and avoid it as long as possible.

But a year later the results were not so good. We'll see next year. We do have people getting ill and dying from the vax. They are just being panned or minimized by the pro-vaxxers. I post a list of 75 athletes who have suffered and they find 1-2 who might have suffered/died of other causes so they ignore the other 70+. 95%-100% of professional (and college) athletes are vaxxed, yet they are suffering epidemics of positive cases (but not in deaths, hospitalizations, or illnesses) and are canceling hockey games and Bowl games left and right.

I guarantee it. I work from home, so prior to this week the longest I wore a mask was about 5 hours (entering airport, flying to Seattle, leaving airport, then back again). My wife spent last night in the hospital due to an allergic reaction (and i'm sure I have covid now from being in the ER, like 100% sure!). I had a mask on from roughly 9am yesterday until 8am this morning when I went home to shower/change. Just sat/slept, still horrible. I give props to anyone that has to wear a mask for an entire shift, especially if they are on their feet/moving/physical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Examples were Hank Aaron who was 86 years old. For one, he was no longer an athlete, and second an 86 year old dyeing of natural causes is perfectly normal. Next we had a soccer player who suffered a knee injury and had a subsequent surgery. He developed blood clots in his legs and had to take blood thinners. Not vaccine related. The one that really told me this was all a farce was Donald Parham who suffered a head injury live on national TV. Not vaccine related.
