Found out a long time friend died Monday of covid. He was also a Mopar buddy. He had just recently bought back his big block Duster race car and was excited about getting it back running again to race. He was younger than I am. Only 52. This **** is real yall. It's not playin around.
 
Damn Rob. Very sorry to hear. Prayers for you and your friends' family.
 
Sorry.

We lost my mom's sister and her husband within a week of each other.

They were in their 80's and scared of the vaccine.

My mom (82) got the vaccine about a month before those 2 got covid.

Mom's appendix burst about 3 months later and I'm sure folks will say it was because of the vaccine, and it might have been.

...but she hasn't gotten covid.....and she is still alive.

All of this crap actually makes me feel fortunate to have already had covid.

I'm not getting the vaccine based on naturally acquired immunity (I've been antibody tested) unless things really go downhill or better info comes out.

I feel better not being forced to choose.

Sorry you have lost a friend. At least we have our memories. I truly hate this stuff, not only for the loss of friends and family, what it has done to our country and the world.
 
Sorry for your loss Rob. It is real.
 
Yes ! This is real.
My condolences Rob, I lost a life time friend to it a week and a half ago, he lived in Northern Illinois, a hot rod builder, he just finished building his new shop a year ago, my age, 63 .., met him when I was 13 .

Things are going downhill Fast! What kind of information do you need? 100,000 more deaths-more younger people dying. Our hospitals are filling up fast, mostly unvaccinated.
 
Well, for one thing:

If vaccine immunity lasts the same time or shorter than my T cell immunity, then what's the point of subjecting myself to science that's still not fully understood?

Most (sane) medical professionals agree that naturally acquired immunity is a preferred condition to artificially acquired immunity, whether through a traditional dead virus vaccine, monoclonial antibody infusion, or genetic trigger modification (MRNA vaccine).

The problem is that politics has not yet caught up with that.

IMO, all should be given equal status until proven otherwise.

That is starting to happen.
