Looking at the wrong thing? The NIH, Mayo Clinic, the CDC .. all wrong .. whether there SHOULD be a difference or not is not the discussion, I sourced and quoted the NIH saying asymptomatic cases are Covid-19, the same NIH you placed as the institution to be listened to.

Here is the lab result of my test, nothing but the PCR is used to define Covid-19.

SARS Coronavirus 2 (Covid-19) Positive!

My wife's lab report said this...SARS CoV-2 positive. Nothing about covid 19, only a doctor can determine if it is covid19

Just because people call the SARS-CoV2 infection covid19 does not mean it is the same. The flu can cause sepsis but they do not call a bad case of the flu sepsis. I do research on specifics, the data for deaths from Covid 19 is way higher than the deaths from SARS-CoV2 infections, you have to understand this when studying a disease and the data...knowing how wording is displayed is crutial in properly assessing the risk. People with multiple underlying health conditions have a lot more risk of developing covid19 from the virus.

Maybe improper shot administration might be why some have issues, but mRNA only produces a limited amount for protein for about a day.

That is true, and your description of the viral replication being much higher quantity than the results of the mRNA injection is also true. I believe I alluded to such in my post. However, there is a product that has seen exceptional response with the virus, and which also "primes the pump": monoclonal antibodies. Inherent immunity has a method to produce more of antibodies which are used, so if monoclonal antibodies attack the virus, it immediately causes the body to produce more as well. And remember that the virus is not dangerous as long as it remains in the lungs... so anyone who has a severe lung infection could be treated with monoclonal antibodies, recover, and retain at least the same (likely more) immunity as the RNA virus gives, all before a single spike protein reaches the bloodstream.

Of course, monoclonal antibodies are hard to find now. Oh, there is no problem making them as needed, but the Federal government, thank you Joe Biden, has decreed that they should be rationed because they are so effective that some states started using them instead of just the vaccine.

I personally know two people, in their 80s, who were not only fully vaccinated, but who religiously wore face masks and took self-isolation to the extreme before both caught a severe case of the virus. Both recovered only after receiving monoclonal antibodies (before the supply lines were shut off). The monoclonal antibodies did what the vaccine did not, and worked without introducing even a single spike protein into the body.

Improper administration is, indeed, a likely suspect for many of the problems we are experiencing with the vaccine. The injections are supposed to be aspirated to ensure the injection does not enter any large blood vessels and will therefore be confined to the muscles (where it is not dangerous). However, consider this situation: you are sitting there waiting for the shot to be administered... a nurse walks up to you with a syringe of vaccine... you know it should be aspirated, so you instruct her to please aspirate the shot... she gives you the injection and does not aspirate. What is your recourse? You can't do the injection over again; what is in your body is what is in your body. You actually have no proof she didn't aspirate if you wanted to make a scene... were you video recording the injection? It's your word against hers, and she's the professional.

Point being, you have just placed your health in the sole hands of whoever gives the shot... who you likely have never seen before and never will again, and who you really have zero control over.

I just found out mine was some sort of flu that is going around... my son had it, and he chose to get himself tested to be sure. Negative result. His symptoms and progression were almost exactly what mine were, so the likelihood is that it wasn't any of the Chinese viruses.

He did agree with me... this was a nasty little bug! It put him down for a whole day.

I'm fine tonight... sore throat is just a scratch (dill pickle juice works wonders on a sore throat, btw), no fever, no more chills, no more aches. My wife's throat is no longer sore, no fever, no chills, aches are waning, and only a little fatigue left over (I can't tell for sure about my fatigue; it seems to be gone, but I normally suffer from fatigue regardless so it's hard to tell for sure).

My houseguest is right in the throes of it... I expect he'll be better tomorrow, though.

I am glad you have a regular bug, to me most of this covid positives could be nothing but false positive for any common corona virus running around as the do all year around for ages.

I got my mind set that the covid or sars is just propaganda, for most people it will do nothing, but as usual is that percentage that we all have to get a jab for it, because they will get too sick and die, but that goes for any virus running around.

Pharma has gotten away with murder and people needs to wake up and realized it.

Democrats just love it too.

I will wait a few weeks and do an antibody test and see what comes out of it.

Same as yesterday:

Mild congestion
Bad sore throat
No fever

a reply to: Madviking

Hang in there you should be getting better by tomorrow hopefully, no fever is a good sign soo far, take care of the sore throat with over-the-counter medication, I found out strep throat is going around.

Thanks so much. Yes, taking dayquil, zinc, elderberry, tea and honey, and cough drops.

Hey Marg,

I am glad you are feeling better, lady! Stay strong, you will be fine. Glad you got to sleep. If I had I would be screwed as my twins don't like sleep. Lol I have not had these symptoms at all but now know what to look for. I assumed everyone lost, smell and taste because that's all I ever see reported. I guess I am very ignorant when it comes to Covid. Just glad to hear from you. Take Care!!

a reply to: starlahazelnut

Thanks, take care of the babies, active kids make hard to relax, I believe the loss of smell and taste was standard with delta or the original covid and perhaps fever have to do with it too.

Interestingly I had chronic sinus infections all my life, been better for the last few years, one of my most hated symptoms was the lost of smell and taste that lasted a few weeks.

I know how bad it can be.

Hey Myke, there's going to be a follow-up on the odds of us having had (or not had) Rona. One of hubs' co-workers tested positive, so around 15 really annoyed & feeling fine close-contact folks hit up pharmacies for tests this morning.

They didnt even bother with a betting pool, all of them are certain they are "clean" and no one thinks anyone picked it up. Some vaxxed, most not, all as normal as their bods get.

We'll see in a day or two (24-48 hrs for results), but I'm quite liable to agree with them based on intuition here. It's that "smells like bull#" intrinsic internal alert deal -- steam and smoke are not the same kind of clouds, as it were.

Edit: its also worth noting that their resident Covid Carl/Typhoid Tony that got 15 people sent home is fully vaxxed & boosted.

Reading stories like this I have to wonder how many people experienced mild symptoms after contracting a more serious flu variant in years prior, maybe their immune system is more acutely developed after being knocked on their ass from some other bug.

there are a lot of variables, but yes, I agree with this. I also think people who aren't regular flu shot uptakers will have an easier experience.

The big problem right now is that monoclonal antibodies for COVID treatment is about 4,000 dollars and rather small supply compared to the vaccine that will help too, maybe not at the same level of further immunity, but a hell of a lot better than nothing. The goal in all this is only to prevent illness to stop it progressing into the blood or lungs.

We would all be talking about this differently if Biden came out early last year and said that 85% of the old and il-health are now vaccinated, and so we have accomplished our goal. The vaccine is now free to anyone else who wants it, but it is your choice.

Point being, you have just placed your health in the sole hands of whoever gives the shot... who you likely have never seen before and never will again, and who you really have zero control over.

So kind of like I have done 100 times in my 61 years...lol

BTW this is from NCBI to include articles such as " Severity of the TGN1412 trial disaster cytokine storm correlated with IL-2 release" So I guess pick your poison...lol

Administration of mAbs carries the risk of immune reactions such as acute anaphylaxis, serum sickness and the generation of antibodies. In addition, there are numerous adverse effects of mAbs that are related to their specific targets, including infections and cancer, autoimmune disease, and organ-specific adverse events such as cardiotoxicity. In March 2006, a life-threatening cytokine release syndrome occurred during a first-in-human study with TGN1412 (a CD28-specific superagonist mAb).

a reply to: Nyiah

I've had two of my minions come down with it.

They didn't make me stay home until proven "clean" but I've been under watch. The only really serious exposure doesn't seem to have done anything to me.

I am a little concerned because both husband and son came down with something over the weekend, but they've already cleared it, and the tests we got for me cleared them of omigawd. So whatever it is, it's not that.

I am still feeling that maybe the cold I had around Thanksgiving was actually omigawd before anyone really knew what it was.

a reply to: ketsuko

I remember posting back in the summer that is was new symptoms from covid, beside the original ones, my daughter told me about it, I even posted here ATS the symptoms and they were very close to the common cold, soo i think this variant is been around even before the propaganda was released.

a reply to: marg6043

Well, and my recall my husband saying he'd heard or read something about folks on the east coast back in the fall complaining about a "cold from hell", but at the time, doctors were dismissing it as just a product of them having been shut-in due to COVID and not being used to picking up all the little sniffles and bugs like they did before so their immune systems were out of shape and they weren't used to being occasionally ill so the first thing they picked up felt like the death.

a reply to: ketsuko

Yes, I remember, all this variant big deal will be over this year, right before mid term elections, covid will be declare no longer and emergency.

Is soo predictable.

I read somewhere Merck and Japan biomedical are working on new vaccine that is not the mRNA, but more of traditional one and will release it without requiring a patent, they seem to be a bit upset about how the mRNA and the big pharma have a tog a war with the rights to the jabs right now. Merck has stayed away from the mRNA when their trials did not work well for them.

I need to find the news on that.

a reply to: marg6043

Oh yeah, they are 3 and just all over the place. Lol Yes, I remember when my oldest daughter was tested, they specifically asked if she had a fever and she did. She did not test posituve for Covid. She had all the symptoms at the time minus loss of taste and smell. She did recover pretty fsst by the time she got her resulys back she ws feeling better. Maine at the time was very strict with testing you had to have a fever, fatugue and a sore throat, or you were around someone whotested postive. If you had none of those symptoms, tgey refusedto test you. That was back in 2020.
