Please Be Careful

I know it’s hoops but I wanted to share this just in case. A former employees father of mine who was 78, not ill and preexisting conditions of diabetes and high blood pressure passed from Covid in just 1 week. His son who lives with him and was going to the gym brought it home. Why they never signed him up and got him the vaccine a month ago I don’t know but they could have It seems. They are all devastated over something preventable. If you have aged people you know go and call for them to get an appointment as many are not computer savvy or will not take the initiative themselves. No one is wearing masks in the gyms ( I got the vaccine) and I understand that because you can’t breathe well. Second person I know but the first got it too early for the vaccine.

A short story on the other side of the vaccine coin:

My cousin’s step father was 79 and doing relatively well while living alone in his house for the last several years. He had survived by not acquiring COVID over the last year. However, he received his 2nd “vaccine” shot about 2.5 weeks ago. My cousin said that his health took a definite turn for the worse right after receiving that shot. She said that he began to lose his strength and his health started to deteriorate at a constant rate until he passed away last week. He did have diabetes, so perhaps that contributed to his death along with the "vaccine", but, there is no way of telling.

One question: how can it be considered as a "vaccine" when you can still get and transmit the virus?

This is such dangerous speculation, a year later and this kind of stuff still surprises me

I was curious to the breakdown as well. Nothing in there.

Bigger picture is despite what people are chirping on this message board large percentages of adults in industries with contact with COVID patients are opting out of getting the vaccine. I've yet to see any information on unvaccinated employees in these groups continuing to get COVID while vaccinated workers don't catch it.

Would like to see the age breakdown. If you are in your 20s or 30s and a healthcare worker, do you get the mRNA vaccines? Not an easy call. I suspect the J&J vaccine will drive those numbers up.

I was at LAFitness in Florida gulf coast yesterday. Mostly young people but several old and zero masks. I myself tried the mask on the running machine and could not hack it, but I’m inoculated and staying away from those who are not.

I’m a fat duckk and I think twice last summer during COVID I built up the courage to run. Once was early enough that the streets were empty so I could have the mask off and not feel like a dick, but the other time I wore a paper hospital-style mask, and was amazed at how it didn’t really make my breathing much worse at all. I’m not calling you out, just saying that I was shocked it wasn’t impossible to work out with a mask on. When I see video of high school kids playing ball with masks on, looks like misery

It is not impossible. Just difficult.

My son runs for Evansville and trains with one of these in his mouth - has to be worse than a mask.

Locked because of the stupidity of those trying to turn a death into a debate.

My apologies to the OP.
