Nobody WANTS covid, which is why your example is kinda stupid. Nobody would go back in time after hospitalization and say that their bet worked out perfectly for them. I am good with my decision looking back for a variety of reasons. Again, that's a stupid example and you are grasping at straws with this.

Bucky, I remember that you had this but didn't know you were hospitalized. How long ago was it again that you were sick?

It's been 14 months for me now.

Congratulations - an early leader for stupidest post of 2021. Choosing not to get the vaccine does NOT make anyone an "anti-vaxxer." I'm glad the vaccine exists for those with underlying conditions and/or those simply afraid. For young healthy types, I reckon that the risk of unknown side effects outweighs the risks of a virus with near 100% survival rate for the 99% of Americans without underlying conditions. And, as stated above, if the vaccine actually works, why are the unvaccinated a risk to you? MORON

Now go back to preaching about something else you're completely ignorant of.

Libs get SOOOO butt-hurt when others won't play along with their foolishness. It's a symptom of a weak mind. I don't care if others do what I do, because I'm confident in my own decisions and thinking regardless of what others do. But libs/leftists desperately need the affirmation provided by having everyone go along with them. They're afraid that ultimately they'll be exposed as having been wrong all along if others exercise their freedom, go maskless and unvaccinated, and actually live a happy, healthy life.

It’s no longer experimental. The good far far exceeds the bad for the vaccination. Every medication or vaccination has its side affects. Three family members and too many friends and we are still dragging our feet.
Yes it is your choice. I can appreciate your opinion and view so I will not type another word on this subject.
It’s worse than politics and I don’t want to loose friends over this.

By definition, we will not know what the long term side affects are for A LONG TIME

Florida needs to close its border Ahhh ... Ha ... Ha ... Ha!

Mid March
My biggest symptom was 103 plus fever for three weeks that was not letting up. The only way to get ANY medical intervention or help of any sort was at the hospital. They wanted me over night. Otherwise no help.

Jail or forced vax???
Ya gotta love these idiots.

And you people believe the press and the government bureaucrats. Give me a break. They both have been pissing on you and tell you its raining.

They couldn't risk half of Americans going mask-less and proving that masks do nothing, so they created the FICTION that your mask is to protect others.

Now they can't risk half of Americans going vaccine-less and demonstrating that vaccines do little or nothing, so they're creating the FICTION that the vaccine is to protect others.

And the sheep line up and practically BEG the government to take away their rights.

Have you ever taken any vaccine?

Yep. Had all the childhood vaccinations, TB, Polio, Measles, etc. And don't care if others vaccinate for those things or not, or if they wear masks or not, because the vaccines for those things have been proven effective.

I will re-state; if the COVID vaccines are effective, there is no reason to fear others who are unvaccinated or un-masked. If the COVID vaccines are NOT effective, that only serves to reinforce my decision that they are not worth the risk of side effects.

You can't have it both ways - they either work, or they don't.

I will also ask the vaccine police if they intend to demand documentation of vaccine for tuberculosis, measles, etc, since those diseases are much more dangerous and we have tens of thousands of illegals pouring into our country every day who are likely not vaccinated against those things.

Fox I don’t know if the last comment was directed at me or not but I was just curious and had no ulterior motive with the question.

Basically, I think we are all racers here.
What if you were forced to drain your engine oil and put in another oil because studies have shown that it was "better for your engine "? Would you comply or leave the race?
Basically, I have a similar situation.
My employer is now requiring it,or I will be terminated.Since I still have positive antibodies quite a few months later,I really am not too excited about this.Which oil should I go with? Pfizer,Moderna,J&J,or leave the track?

And another thing,since we are all racers here.
It would not surprise me at all if you were eventually required to be vaccinated in order to compete at any bracket race or test and tune anywhere.Track insurance(which I would think EVERY track has),may require it.
That is how crazy this is getting.

It is getting real weird. At least I am in Florida where the state stayed open. Our 1st race was in county which handled lockdown reasonable. Next county north would not allow. Everyone followed protocols without issue. Those who were extreme concern stayed home. My dog did not care about being wiped down after racing pals stopped by at safe distance.

We got solid gov that does not violate constitution. We will do our thing and are retired so no work issues. I am surprised how many look to/let others decide what to do, say. We can think for ourselves and being half portuguese, there is still no positive covid test in direct bloodline across many states and lots of relatives. I know of people who have sadly passed, all with health issues. We set up communication to allow family updates because we doubted media.

It should be instinctive for any american to resist dictates from anyone. We are free society. A lot have fought and given blood for this great country. Even with all this madness, is still the greatest place on the planet.

If your decision is to vaccinate, my dr said Jand J tends to be easier on those who are sitting on antibodies.

Speaking of the percentage of surviving covid after contracting the virus, I see that is either you lived or you died. I wonder what the percentage is of after effects that are permanent disabilities due to the virus. I dont think that is being tracked anywhere by anybody. For example, my oldest daughters sister in law, non-vaccinated,caught covid, turned into pneumonia,scarred lungs enough so she only has 75% oxygen saturation now. That will be that way the rest of her life. No previous health issues.
Another example is a fellow worker in the construction industry, no health issues, early 40's, non vaccinated, got the virus was in the hospital for a week, survived, but cant walk more than ten steps now without getting winded.
My question is, mask, no mask, shot or no shot, what is the likelihood of a normal quality of life after you have "survived" covid.

Dr. Fauci would like to remind everyone who plan on attending the Sturgis Motorcycle event this year that is important to wear a helmet to protect those who aren't wearing a helmet. In fact it is better to wear 2 helmets instead of just one. This is a public service announcement.
