    I woke up with a sore throat and feeling sick. Tested positive for Covid with home test kit. Laid in bed for a week hoping to get better. Got worse, couldn't eat, called 911 and EMTs took me to the hospital. Hospital diagnosed me with a blood clot in my left leg, pneumonia, a blood clot in my right lung, and during my hospital stay I had a mild heart attack. I was discharged after four days, came home and was on oxygen 24/7, plus a blood thinner, and a strong antibiotic. Today, two months later, I'm feeling good, off the oxygen, heart doc says I have no damage to heart, and I see a lung doc this week. I'm 82-years-old, and Covid tried to kill me. I was lucky that I was not overweight, never smoked, and I'm not diabetic. All this after I had received two Moderna vax a year prior.

    It is the long covid. I was 3 times vaccinated when I caught Delta in January. Was just really sick for a day, very high fever, was ok after 3 days and tested negative after 5 days.
    But now something strange is happening, I have black out days, where I hardly am able to function. Sunday I logged 4 Ponderosa Pines, 100 feet long, 2-3 feet diameter, dumped them, cut the up and so on. 6.5hp chainsaw, heavy, pulling at you. Felt great, nearly 70 years old and then Monday I was a veg, a total black out day. I had to concentrated to get my daily chores done on the farm, so bad that I did not dare to drive to my company and do my job.
    It happens every other week, wake up in the morning and have a black out day. I talked to my partner today, she had covid 2 month ago, her daughter, too. She has the same problems, her daughter, too.
    Or it is just a mild black out day and you just can not do standard stuff, 1+1=2, you just sit there and cannot do it, cannot remember your phone number, names of people you know for decades.
    I had a very severe concussion 10 years ago, very bad. During rehab I made myself a checklist for my daily chores, because my long term memory was gone.
    I have that list reactivated, when long term hits, if get through my farm scores by this list and am totaly exhausted in in bed by 7 am.
    The next morning I do a full days of work, farm and business, as if nothing has happened, 10 hours

    Glad you’ve survived- sounds frightening. Blood clots were a feature of the early Covid variants.

    Blood clots and myocarditis/pericarditis were a feature of the pseudo vaccines that the jab junkies simply will not admit and dismiss as a "conspiracy" theory or "misinformation" even though two of the jab makers Pfizer and Moderna admit that it occurs as a side effect, but down play it as being insignificant and trivial.

    Unlike you, and many others, I don't keep my head perpetually burred in the sand and swallow all the lies that the state run propagandists from gangster governments with their BIG PHARMA hand-picked pseudo scientist (in impressive white lab coats) pump out as farcical drivel to shore up their trillions of dollars revenue streams from the suckers buying into their dangerous and deadly vaccine $cams.

    The FDA’s stated mission is to protect consumers [sic] and yet so many of their "previously-approved" pseudo drugs and vaccines have resulted in recalls, long-term injuries, 5, or even 10 years later and with endless lawsuits. A smart and informed individual would question the efficacy of their approval process, and recognize that there's something seriously wrong, and the whole system stinks to high heaven.

    The BIG Pharma pushing of false studies and lies with their so called "MIRACLE" drugs have averaged almost 1,300 recalls per year since 2012 and that's after these dangerous drugs are hastily pushed into the market for many years before being removed because of their dangerous and deadly consequences to the unsuspecting consumers.

    All government backed and pushed BIG Pharma drugs and vaccines should be met with both skepticism and scrutiny from the public. Of course that only applies to those who are capable of real "critical" thinking.

    I have a family member with covid and it is affecting her in physical and psychological ways. Where she used to be very social, she is now agoraphobic. She's on meds and they're helping but there is no science yet to tell her how long she will suffer or whether this is now her new normal.

    I hope that your symptoms and health experiences subside very soon.

    Orange = symptom(s)
    Blue = where the blame is being placed
    Red = the (taboo??) connection/common theme that seemingly "connects the dots"

    Are your partner and daughter COVID jabbed??

    Is your family member COVID jabbed??

    Good to hear that you are doing better! That's the unfortunate thing about covid, you never know if you get a mild, or almost unsymptomatic case, or if it will put you in the hospital, or even on your death bed.

    BTW: The vaccines are known to be effective early on, but immunity wanes after a few months. The same goes for immunity after having had covid, to the contrary of people who claimed that once you had covid you'd be protected for life. A year after the vaccination, I am not surprised you didn't have much immunity.

    I got my first booster in October last year, got covid in May of this year, unfortunately not a mild case. I had fever up to 102 degrees for straight two days, on the third day I took paxlovid. The next day the fever was gone, after two days I was almost symptom-free. I did get a slight rebound (tiredness) 4 days after going off paxlovid, which is a well-known side effect (Biden and his wife both experienced this).

    My wife, on the other hand, did not take paxlovid, and she got close to pneumonia. She never gets sick, so we were very surprised that she was so badly off. She couldn't walk up 5 stairs without getting very winded. Took her 3 weeks to get over it.

    Those of you who claim that covid is just like a mild flu, think again.

    That's all well and good. Then again there are a heap of relatively healthy people who took no precautions or shots, caught covid and died.

    We are in a real quandary -- Covid can kill and the vax can kill (rare). We each have to decide what to do for ourselves. I had the two Moderna vax and later contracted a serious case of Covid. I now have decided my two shots along with my now natural immunity is enough for me. No more shots. Now all I have to worry about are jealous husbands.

    I am autoimmune compromised. Type 1 diabetic, CEBV, Fibromyalgia and a number of other issues. I did not get the injections.

    I tested positive last week of June, along with 3 other co-workers. Felt like I was getting a cold. Someone recommended Paxlovid to speed up recovery. Took that for 2 days and stopped, after getting all the side effects, all at the same time. Absolutely living hell. Slept through my next 3 days, back to work the following Monday.

    Still kicking.

    So you're writing off the symptoms as COVID as well?? Got it.

    You think this is unique to "COVID"?? The same thing can be said about a flu or a common cold. Why are you acting like this is such a big deal?

    None of the COVID jabs are vaccines. None of them are FDA approved either. They all seem to be quite ineffective since the recipients have been "COVID positive" anyway (unless injuring/killing people is the desired effect).

    Nope. Natural immunity lasts for life.

    Natural immunity lasts for life.

    Me neither. Those jabs are quite effective at ruining one's immune system.

    Big Harma thanks you for enrichening them.

    It's interesting how you're taking jabs and paxlovid to ward off COVID yet you're still getting a slew of "COVID" symptoms anyway... Will you ever admit that you have been duped by Big Harma?

    There really isn't anything different between "COVID" and a mild flu (besides the incessant fear mongering and the forceful jamming of Big Harma products down people's throats).

    Who is "we"?? I'm not in any quandary. Are you using "we" in the Marxist form by any chance??

    "COVID" does not kill.

    There is no "COVID vax". As far as the COVID jabs go, they can kill, they do kill, and they will keep killing over time (not rare).

    Absolutely correct! Each individual has to make his/her own health care choices (and live with the consequences). The attempts at forced vaccination that Democrats did was atrocious and morally abhorrent. The lockdowns that Democrats refused to let go of were morally abhorrent. The forced mask wearing that Democrats did was morally abhorrent. That's why I vote for "America First" Republicans.

    Why are you pretending that your two shots did anything beneficial for you with regard to "COVID"? You still "contracted [a serious case of] COVID" anyway, remember? I also thought that these jabs were supposed to "prevent serious illness"?? In this thread alone, multiple people have admitted that they had both
    [1] the COVID jabs
    [2] serious illness.

    First, the COVID jabs were supposed to prevent infection in the first place... That didn't happen... Then the position was backpedaled to "prevent serious illness". That's not happening either (per this thread)... What are you going to backpedal the position to NOW??

    ... unless Big Daddy Government MANDATES that you get them... ;) ;)

    Sounds like the Paxlovid was a mistake...

    We are all different -- both mentally and physically. No one vax for anything fits a world population the same.
    When my toddler son got the smallpox vax he developed cow pox (actually that was a good thing). But who ever heard of that happening?
    I had a barber who passed out after his first shot of penicillin. Afterwards he was told to never take penicillin again.
    My dad found out the hard way he was allergic to sulfur. Yet I can take sulfur.
    You want the Covid vax, get it. You don't want the vax, don't get it.

    Everything you describe related to covid symptoms can be said of influenza.

    Some people get the flu and barely have any symptoms. Others get the flu and have severe symptoms including a fever, weakness, a cough that lingers for months or developes into pneumonia.

    In fact, on the CDC covid web page by May 2020 it was clear covid was basically the flu. Covid was in the upper levels for the annual flu in terms of transmission and mortality, but still in teh category of the annual flu. That web page was removed in the summer 2020.
