Dear Readers, Thank you for allowing me to vent and helping to keep me sane! I appreciate your words of support, and while I can't respond to every comment, I do read them all and appreciate sharing your thoughts. Some days I feel like I'm just hanging on by a thread lol those are probably the days I'm more likely to write. I'm learning all the time and all these little bits of information are so useful. We all have different concerns, ideas, situations, but I do believe there is one thing that pulls us together. It doesn't even need to be said. Thank you again and keep hanging in there. Definitely ups and downs, but every day is a brand new day that can present a lot of possibilities. Take breaks when needed and don't forget to prepare your lifeboat, as time allows, with things that don't go bad and that you'll need anyways.
My answer was basically I am unvaxxed and I grow healthy food but did have a normal runny nose during the ordeal. I didn't add I wouldn't get tested as I don't believe even the test is accurate. Maybe it was a virus one of trillions, or maybe my change of diet, no longer eating fascist GMO food, had my immune system kick into gear. Funny how that works, buy and eat the nutrition less poison food, get sick, then buy the pills and injections.
Many I live with have recently had covid. They're all jabbed. I am not.
I didn't get it. The only one in the house not to have it.
Essential oils. Especially manuka essential oil diffused through the house using a $12 electric diffuser. Not only did I not get it. Those in my mist bubble recovered very quickly.
Didnt they say from the start, 97.7% will get it and clear it. You look young and prob is how most young would respond if they got covid. I mean it could be so mild as to barely think much about it or to have recognized it was covid. Even at 63 yo when I believe I contracted covid in Feb. 2020, I thought it was more a sinus issue not even knowing about covid yet. The two symptoms I had that led me later on to believe it was covid, was persistent mild dry cough for a week or two and lingering fatigue for weeks, maybe up to a-month afterwards. You see, it was so minor I barely thought much about it. If I was working I prob could have worked as it wasn’t too debilitating.
My reasons for saying "I have no idea" has more to do with the definition of what a person (or test or body of doctors, scientists, or health departments) defines as having covid as opposed to whether I felt sick at all. I always viewed the body as a constantly evolving micro-ecosystem, that if not in balance, is open for catastrophe. I feel managing stress has more to do with our health than possibly anything else besides basic sustenance and toxic exposure. I felt that the best defense of what most people defined as covid would have been to socialize and build natural immunity during the warm months when hospitals were less burdened and easier to access (no snow). But who would listen to little old common folk like me? Instead, healthy persons have been coerced, vilianized, punished, harmed, and treated like second class citizens for living healthy and not contributing to the increase in health insurance premiums that are soon to come.
Yes, I was harassed in the summer of 2021 by a couple friends of mine bc I didn't have a mask on nor jabbed in a large restaurant that was not crowded while they both travel a lot, obese, and I am trim. Both jabbed 2 x at the time. I thought here they are getting ready to eat and must take their mask off, double jabbed and still so WORRIED about covid. I felt insulted and hurt by their aggression towards me. We have never repaired our relationship.
Whether you are wanting an apology or not, I hope you get one. Hearing I'm sorry helps people heal even if the relationship cannot be returned back to where it was. I tend to just avoid the situations where I think there may be trouble. Not sure if that's good or not, but helps keep my stress level more manageable, which helps keep me stay healthy! There's already enough out there that I cannot dodge ahead of time.
My wife has been shunned by many so called friends. I’ve lost a couple of friends. But I’m a guy. I think there are less guys who gave up friends over masks and vax etc. I live in a left bubble and have been conservative since my twenties, now 71. I’ve been the odd man out for decades. I’m used to it. My wife was, not now, very apolitical. She has leaned middle right since being with me. But really wasn’t into it at all. So she never faced what I have gotten used to. She though was really shocked at her friends responses to her initial ‘gee, I’m uncertain about these vaccines. It’s new technology. I don’t like taking drugs of any sort.’ They leapt on her. Which caused her to really dig down and do research. To make sure she wasn’t being foolish. When she did she was shocked at how dangerous this was. When she tried to talk to her friends about it, naively assuming they would be interested, she was cut out of the neighborhood social circle. Of which she had been a big part. Over. Just like that.
She is very social. You could cut me out of everything in the ‘hood and I wouldn’t notice or care. It’s a huge part of her life. However, she’s charming and full of energy and she has made a new group of friends. They refer to each other as ‘organic’. Of all her friends only one has suffered and her husband has and they attribute it correctly to the vax. Many of the others have too but they stubbornly refuse to admit it was the vax. Let’s face it, healthy 50 year old women who run half marathons very often get myocarditis. Right? The one friend who has opened her eyes called her and apologized and wished she had listened to her. It was a heartfelt apology.
Yeah I think it did. Her very best friend has not totally pushed her out. But there is a distance now between them. My wife refuses to acknowledge it. ‘She’s been busy with the grandkids’. Maybe that is just as well.
The CDC approved 59 DIFFERENT PCR tests in 2020!!! All with different genetic sequences. No one has a clue who has had it, or even if it exists as a separate identifiable disease.
Great answer. I too don't know if I did or did not get covid, nor do I really care. I get colds twice a year, and will always do so as long as I stay in society. Even being forced to stay in my house during the lockdowns I got a cold. No testing for me, I just don't care. Three weeks later the cold is gone. Such is life.
I've never /tested positive/ for COVID and even if I could afford an antibody test to see if I've cleared an unnoticed infection I'd probably not get one.
I've had cold/flu symptoms 3-4 times since the beginning of 2020 and avoided testing by quarantining a week at a time from work instead.
I suspect I've got antibodies or I'd probably have gotten nasty sick from the several times my boy's vaxxed mom (my ex) has had COVID.
Same on antibody test as it is a snapshot in time based on my ever evolving micro-ecosystem and seriously question the results of what is it looking for and what has it found. I figure potentially everyone who has lived long enough could be carrying a little of most everything and if your immune system is compromised, or you are not in homeostasis due to a number of reasons including stress and unresolved emotions, then you are more apt to starting losing balance, your immune system kicks in, and you start experiencing symptoms which may be related to covid or perhaps something else, just a result with an overstressed or weakened immune system. What amazes me is that from the beginning, certain things were known (does not stop transmission, side effects unknown, causes blood clots and may restrict transferring oxygen to the lungs, can cause myocarditis, etc.) yet we are still hearing the commercials on the radio and gas stations from the health departments saying "safe and effective" to this very day. It is wrong, just plain wrong.
If I did not lose my sense of taste and smell in November of 2020 I would have never known I had it. I also felt a bit foggy and lethargic. I tested a few times to appease fanatics that would not let me attend events like my daughter's wedding unless I could show a negative test. The amount of harm this pandemic did to kids learning, family and friend relationships, small businesses etc is beyond my comprehension. To this day, I wonder when will 100% of the people decide that they no longer have to wear a mask outside in 93 degree temperatures.
And yes, I shared this on facebook where many people seem to share opposite views of mine. I do so because, hopefully, we all live and learn.

"Did you avoid getting COVID?"
Right on, BRAVO, and thank you.
Remember those early reports of Covid-19 tests contaminated with Covid 19?
No way I am going anywhere near any of those "swabs."
Graphene "bonus" or not!
I "learned" and I am still living.
I really enjoyed this post. Thank-you for all your insight, thoughts, and letting me know that I'm not the odd one out.
Love it. Covid, what's that? If kangaroos don't know about it (or mask up) it's probably not worth stressing about
Love this! Bravo! Appeals to common sense. 👍...and REAL life.
