So I've seen the exact opposite of what the virus can do to unvaxxed. 1) Because I work in healthcare and 2) a fews ago (12/27 to be exact) my step dad came down with being sick. Progressively got worse as time went by. Ended up going to the doc last week and confirmed he did have Covid. He's unvaxxed, in pretty good health but he's in his early 60's. He's finally starting to feel better as of yesterday so about a 2 week turn around. He felt terrible and just couldn't do anything, lost 20 lbs.
My mom, is a very high risk due to cancer survival, losing 1 kidney, diabetic, etc. She has gotten all 3 shots and came away with maybe a sniffle of a cold and that was it.
I know people don't like this vaccine on this site, fine, it's your choice but for some people, this vaccine absolutely saves lives. If you are considered high risk person, go get the damn vaccine.

lol, now I get to put this truly to the test. Family of 4 here, all fully vaccinated except for my youngest son (10). He tested positive last night and has mild conditions (essentially cold symptoms). Only reason we tested is because his close friend tested positive last Friday. He started to show cold symptoms as of Sunday night/Monday morning and then Monday we were notified of the close contact. Monitored it and decided to test last night.
The rest of us have not caught it (that we are aware of anyways) so it will be interesting to see if we get it or show any actual symptoms of it. I tested myself last night just to see if I was asymptomatic and I tested negative.

Day 5
Youngest has essentially no symptoms of any Covid. He did lose his smell we found out as of at least this morning. Taste is still there. Everyone else still chugging along normally. We have taken some steps to try and limit max exposure with him but he carried it around since last Friday so it was likely to late anyways.

Thanks for the update. All on my end are also doing well, and seem to be back on their feet, except for one member. She is still suffering from weakness, fatigue, mild gastric issues, and a greatly reduced headache. She is fully vaccinated x 3. And this is her second go of it. She works in hospitals, so that may or may not have anything to do with it.
Still wishing well for you and your family.

of course it could just be that since many areas have higher vaccination rates, that those getting sick would of course have an equally high percentage of people getting sick. since of course as has been fully known since the vaccines even first came out, that they are not anywhere even close to a guarantee of not getting sick, since their whole point and purpose is and always has been, to help stop people getting as sick, and thus less likely to die, or suffer from the serious long term health effects from the virus. and NOT, and never has been, to stop people from getting, or even passing on the virus to others.

my vaxxed roommate just got foot, hand, mouth disease. I didn't even know this was a disease. She said kids get it a lot and she probably got it from someone at the high school she teaches at.
The vaccine is destroying peoples immune system around here it seems. still, my non-jabbed friends are all healthy and it's only the vaccinated ones getting covid or other weird health issues.
