I'm scared I think

Things have got a lot worse for me, I'll have to move home soon. Trying to do my hobbies just feels like I'm wasting time at the moment, hopefully I can sort everything out but this is obviously bigger than any amount of effort I can put in.
 
We can recover from covid19 for sure. Here we are going to have vaccine somewhere near end of this month.

Economy issue is another story sadly, all I can say right now is that I have high hope that we can survive this recession.
 
INteresting indeed:

"Pfizer says early analysis shows its Covid-19 vaccine is more than 90% effective"

https://edition.cnn.com/2020/11/09/health/pfizer-covid-19-vaccine-effective/index.html

here is the thing, it is said that the held back in announcing this - i give the benefit of the doubt & say they held back because they did not want for a certain someone to gloat about it....

it is the number 90% effective that kinda worries me & takes my mind into snake-oil territory....

so we got a disease that kills at the most about.. - give or take & in optimal circumstances  --- 10 percent of a population... & this big company will probably promote & will try its darnest to have near 80% plus of the population to get vaccinated.
NO problem so far, but ---
gee wiz 10 percent of "vaccinated" people can still die or get really sick even with the Pfizer vaccine -
so.... covid deaths will still happen ,

but heYyyy Vaccine -

now media don't have to report them as much - and move on with the next kabuki chapter of what will happen to some lame quack & his swampy tales
(spoiler alert  -  after the books , editorials, late night jokes etc - NOthing) ...

So i think i will stick to wearing the mask & washing my hands for about a year or 2 more, i hope i'm very wrong about it, but something is off
 
Soooooo....

where to begin...

i feel like i have to write the following, because something stinks...

i have observed the media in the US, UK, Europe, telling people that vaccines are cool, but they don't say much about people who have been injured by them or  their fates (helpful link)
https://www.hrsa.gov/cicp
that the PCR tests are efective, even tho....
https://www.bmj.com/content/371/bmj.m4916
I saw them downplay complaints about metallic crap in them , & then i see this about a week ago..
https://www.wsj.com/articles/moderna-says-covid-19-vaccine-contaminant-in-japan-was-stainless-steel-sees-no-safety-issue-11630596275
& i see that US media in particular is very reticent about any alternative treatments, like Ivermectin.
https://fortune.com/2021/09/02/ivermectin-covid-why-demand-is-surging/

here is the thing...
a month ago  4 family members finally caught it, & 2 of them had bad symptoms, like very low oxygenation levels.
they did not tell the rest of the family anything until 2 weeks later after the first symptoms, because a doctor told them it was just a cold...

Mexican social security, institutions , India , Japan, & africa have been using ivermectin with great success, so one of them & the other 2 who where exposed where given ivermectin as preventive measure.
basically if you come in with early symptoms, (especially the very obvious one of loss of taste & smell) they give you a prescription (or a care package in india) & you go home...

I had data files about the prevention & treatment protocols since about 5 months ago so
the one with the worst outlook was given some, along with anti-inflamatory meds, anticoagulants, & 6 liters of oxygen per minute using a tank (that we had to rent) & the other the same, except the coagulants.
the other 2 had very little symptoms , & where given just the ivermectin - their PCR tests where NEGATIVE by the way...

now here is the kicker,
a family member who has had 2 vaccinations is very sick right now, this is the 50th something person that is fully vaccinated that is sick that i have known, 3 have died.
Also.....two people at the FDA in the US have resigned, because of the looming "mandates" requiring people to get another booster...
https://arstechnica.com/science/2021/09/anger-frustration-at-fda-over-bidens-booster-plan-two-top-regulators-resign/
& maybe the incoming "twice a day pills" (not enough data)  that a certain pharmaceutical company  would gladly provide us....
https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/27/pfizer-at-home-covid-pill-could-be-available-by-year-end-ceo-albert-bourla-says.html.

anyway, those have been my misadventures, & from my perspective , the vaccines have been at best , only a scam, they don't prevent transmission, & they may make people even more viral, because they turn you into an asymptomatic carriers.
(lots of unmasked A#$holes in mexico because they are vaccinated)
at worst, they will be another check on the long list of Pharma "mistakes" that costs millions of lives & injures hundreds of thousands, & another tool for a few to control the many... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09maaUaRT4M

Take care friends, wash your hands, wear the mask, eat healthy, exercise, know your rights.

 
My wife found a video with all the bad side effects of the vaccination i am considering putting it off longer. If you can still get the virus when vaccinated then whats the point. One problem is there are some countries that wont let you in unless vaccinated.
 
It's really hard to say about vaccines. I mean, from the beginning, vaccines don't give 100% guarantee to protect from Covid-19.
There's a neighbor here who  was infected by Covid even though he has been vaccinated some time before  :-\.

OTOH what will we do without vaccine or vaccination, I should say? trust unvaccinated society that they won't infect Covid? believe that Covid will go away without vaccine?

I'd say that vaccine is a better-than-nothing solution  :).
 
My view since the begining knowing full well a vaccine will arrive is this, If the vaccine doesn't allow the virus the cause another stronger variant then I'll get it, If those that are vacinated curently are helping the virus to adapt even further, much further than those who are unvaccinated then I'm with msmalik, what's the point?

It's hilarious how people are being taught to hate each other in a brand new way like we need another reason to hate each other, now if you're unvaccinated you're stupid and preventing life from getting back to "normal" and if you are vaccinated you're a sheep and need to "wake up" no love or compassion or empathy on either end, just hate and finger pointing.

I'm not an anti vaxer and I definitely don't believe now all of a sudden the government cares about me and science is never wrong, however one thing I am aware of are the origins of the virus and the vaccine are dubious which makes me very hesitant, I've been unlucky enough to experiance this pandemic in two different countries and the affects it's had on their society, here in italy if you're 12 years old and haven't had the vaccine you can't go mc donald's with your friends while back home in england they've adopted a more "if you die you die" attitude.

The bottom line for me is that this pandemic has shown me things about people I'd rather have not seen but on the flip side I have a new found freedom I never thought was possible and a gratitude for life and simply having air in my lungs.

Vaccinations are better than most of the people are currently doing, which is to carry on as if covid is no biggie...

I say this, if you have good family support, have a career where you have to travel & can't avoid it, and good network of friends, & life/health insurance, (weird https://www.wsj.com/articles/principal-financial-to-divest-business-of-selling-life-insurance-to-u-s-consumers-11624897984)
go ahead & vaccinate.
better yet , have a good over-all analysis done to determine which vaccine is best for you, to rule out any potential risks.
avoid the mRNA stuff, get the ones with the old-school method if you can afford it
but being vaccinated is no excuse to not wear a mask, you are still a carrier.
(Israel is VERY vaccinated, and still very infectious https://www.cnbc.com/2021/08/30/israel-doubles-down-on-covid-booster-shots-as-breakthrough-cases-rise.html)

On the other hand, personally i can't afford to play that lottery - the price is death or the loss of a limb (or limbs), permanent heart damage, a stroke, clots for life or a F#ed up immune system. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41564-020-00789-5

percentage wise i am more likely to survive the thing, (1% chance of death, versus 1 % chance of death AND 1% chance of incapacitating side effects with a vax that might not work well on me)

if i had the means i would do an exhaustive study of my entire body's system, & do a personalized vaccine-like treatment of my own cells exposed to the virus & then reinject them back after a favorable reaction.

remember , many factors are in play when it comes to the supposed effectiveness of the vaccines - simple mishandling of the vials results in a dud

here in mexico, people pay money to avoid the shot & just get the certificate, & a lot of the time those very same people refuse to wear masks or respect any safe distancing or any other health protocols, so there is no going back to "normal" as long as
businesses
(the son of my affected relative had to go to work, even tho he was a vector - or he would have been fired)
goverments
( here , there is no workers comp, no funds for people to quaranatine home if they are sick, water gets shut off every week, public transport is sardine levels of packed, hospitals are at "full capacity" because 80% to 90% of the beds are used for well off people or relatives of the mexican social security staff with their own ailments)
and individuals (packed restaurants in friday nights, smoking in public transport, no masks, parties)
fail to do their part.

many people made the mistake of believing that the vaccines a cure, they are not
for governments & media its about avoiding actually doing anything to truly support the population and to keep pretending like "everything is back to normal"
they are anything but...
 
Well, natural selection at work, if you truly believe, i mean truly believe  that your country is out there protecting you and all, protect your health, your privacy and your money, you get most naive folk in the universe award.
I dont even want to start bringing my arguments, like i said, natural selection.
But as always - follow the money.That always gets you true answers.
 
Oh... sweet lord, I don't know even what to say after reading some posts here.
It's just that... lacking basic knowledge about science can be dangerous.
