Everybody can understand an air filter. Your responsibility is not to understand the cat, just feed it, change the litter box and pet it. All on its schedule.

BayRaider Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 (edited) That co-worker that I thought was coming to work on purpose with covid was forced to do a covid test (my doing…) and DID have covid. He gave it to five people, all in his company (third party company). None of them were vaccinated except the main guy spreading it, who claims he was vaxxed in January under special conditions. None of the casino staff got it, including me, and we all sat next to him 3 feet away probably, for hours. I guess the vaccine works?

Thanks again for getting it. Glad you didn't get sick too bad, but if you didn't, who knows how many people you may have infected. Transmission from vaccinated people is an order of magnitude lower, so think of everybody you've seen in the past few weeks, and you may have prevented up to 90% of them from being exposed. We appreciate it man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a mechanism of action here. Not saying get your hopes up, but this isn't just someone throwing insane amounts of drug in a test tube and killing everything, then going "hey we've got efficacy". 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, this is great news if it pans out. I'm sure you remember I've been touting treatments as much as vaccine and although that's a boatload of pills, if it helps, it helps.

We appreciate it man. Yup. My cousins hubby tested positive last Sunday. He went to a birthday party with tons of people, though it was outdoors. All the adults were vaxxed including him. No one else has tested positive yet- at least from what Ive heard. Also, my cousin and her two sons havent caught it either, and they likely spent a lot of time together. On the contrary, my buddy's dealer who called COVID a hoax caught it and died. He was a skinny dude in his late 30s to early 40s. His father in law caught it as well and is on a ventilator. My cousins hubby is obese and in his 40s. The vaccine likely saved him from a tough bout with the virus. Anecdotal evidence for sure, but most people Ive heard who have been vaxxed and infected had very minor symptoms to the point they thought it was a sinus infection.
