Best Posts in Thread: Misc. Covid, Vaxx, etc,

I had Covid in April/May 2020. I was really sick, by far the worst decease I ever had. Luckily I had no lung problems but it took months to recover fully anyway. I tested positive for anti-bodies in September same year, tested positive for T-cells in January. Got my first jab (Pfizer) in April and the 2nd in June. I got really sick from the 2nd but only for 24 hours. It seems that people that developed severe symptoms are reacting much harder on the vaccine (either first or second jab), than people that never got infected or had very mild symptoms.

The most current debate in north Europe is about giving vaccine to persons that most likely are immune. It has become a political issue rather than a medical, many scientists are now claiming it can be dangerous to do so (even lethal). In Sweden we are closing in to around 40% of the population being fully vaccinated, although no proven cases so far (death by vaccine).

My point is, it is much more dangerous to get the decease than being vaccinated. The Corona virus is here to stay, the presence of it has become the new normal. It wont go away until people get immunity either from developing T-cells in their own immune system or getting vaccinated.

 

It was only a matter of time.

Two travellers from U.S. fined $20,000 each for fake vaccination documents
That's just slightly less than 800,000 pesos each.

TORONTO -- Two travellers who arrived in Toronto from the United States have been fined for providing fake COVID-19 proof of vaccination documents and lying about pre-departure tests.

At least they didn't bring their guns with them. LOL

I got the J&J Janssen vax in Rob's Movie Theatre on Friday along with wife, and was also told 'no alcoholic drinks for awhile' (can't remember duration; my brain was vaxxed against anti-alcohol messages, and my immune-response against them is top-notch), but ignored that -- it's not in the international guidelines; and a nightcap is 'normal' for me, and to deviate from normal might be unhealthy. We both did experience 24 hrs of diarrhea on the 3rd day after (Sun-Mon), that might have been because of the vax, or might-not. I'm glad we did it, feel safer from dire illness.

 

Probably as well as the 'frozen' foods in most stores. 'Frozen' ... my arse! (It's an inherited condition).

 

Got my Vaccine, Johnson&Johnson, today in Sibulan for seniors. More then 100 people before 8 am. Was lucky to get nr. 34. Done at 9.30 am. So far, I'm good.

 

I think this applies worldwide

 

My point is that until you achieve a large percentage of vaccinated people it is unwise to allow those who are vaccinated to roam freely from Island to Island without testing.... Sorry you are unable to come here and I would give you my spot if I could (I have filed to take my family back to US) but I am siding with Lockdowns until adequate percentage of vaccinations.... The Phil is not the Phil I came to 6 years ago and may never be again....

 

I don't even know if to bother to reply to this - you seem to take comments on your postings personally.

But:

If you honestly didn't know about:

the liquor drinking ... NO

or the famous incident that occurred in Cebu ... NO

or the block parties in Manila ... NO

or the complaints about groups of men drinking on the side of the roads a few years ago here ... NO

and haven't found empty Emparador bottles on your walks ... NO

or haven't enjoyed drunken old Filipinos telling stories down at the sari sari store ... NO

or gone to a cockfight with a group and had a great time ... NO (I respect animals)

or played pool while getting drunk with them ... NO

... you haven't touched how fun Filipinos can be, and their drinking habits. BUT I AM STILL CONTENTED.
