In March I had Covid really bad, ended up spending 11 days in the hospital, was sent home doing well. 8 days later I developed AFIB and spent 3 more days in the hospital to get the AFIB under control. Multiple Doctors and Nurses told me it was a side effect from Covid, they were seeing a lot of it. I don't know, but I tend to believe it.

IMO the paper and cloth masks we see everyday are absolutely worthless.

In the meantime I got the 1st and 2nd Moderna shots. I did not have any ill effects from either. I got the booster a few months ago, per my Doctors insistence, my age and whatever else he considered.

I had to go to a family Christmas gathering 11 days ago in the DFW TX area. One person was coughing and hacking like crazy, and claimed it was allergies.

I spent 2 days there, was supposed to spend 2 more days when I found out the one person had Covid. A quick phone call to that person to confirm and left my hotel and I came back home at a high rate of fuel consumption.

At least one other person contracted Covid there. The original person with Covid had a relatively mild case and got better in a few days and now is probably 99% back. The other person, and possibly another, have it a bit rougher but are doing well at home.

I think the Covid at the family Christmas gathering was the milder Omicron version.

Having said all that, I fortunately did not contact it. I have stayed healthy.

For whatever reason, I do not know why, maybe I still had good enough antibodies from my original experience with Covid, or perhaps the Booster shot worked. Or maybe I was just naturally resistant to it. I don't know, but I'm thankful. I don't want any more of that shit.

Covid is a real bitch of a disease and it's weird how it does, or does not, affect people. You can't predict it.

Having gone through hell with this back in March and April, and having some longer term effects from it, but not too bad, I don't want any more of this shit.

I'm sick of the politics and the bullshit from this. Screw the politicans and the others, and screw Fauci.

Or it’s just a plain old cold or flu

What a hell of a way to start the new year!

Wouldn’t be surprised if I was right there with you. All three kiddos had a fever for about 12-18 hours at some point this last week, everyone was just really tired. I woke up this morning with a sore throat, congestion, the occasional cough and feeling tired. Gonna see how tomorrow goes.

This week my wife and I came down with what might be omicron.
We developed a slight cough, some sniffles, fatigue and a fairly consistent temperature of 99.5. The first night we had chills and they went away after several hours.
I'm normally pretty active but I would try to do some things around the house and I'd get worn out and need to sit down and take a nap.
Every morning I felt like I had a hangover.
We didn't get tested, so I can't be sure it was omicron but we seemed to have the typical symptoms.
I would be tempted to say it was a cold but I've never experienced one that made me so fatigued.

Well, if it turns out to be what it looks like, COVID is turning into what amounts to a cold. The fraudsters will, of course, try to keep the fear alive but they're going to have ever greater difficulty in selling the Brooklyn Bridge.

My wife and I probably have Omicron, too. Both daughters and one son-in-law tested positive 12/27.
Three days of 101 degree fever, pretty bad body aches and fatigue, sore throat but minor congestion and cough.
We started feeling better today.
A little worse than a bad cold but not as bad as the flu.

We didn't get tested because it's difficult to do here right now.
Wait in line in your car for 4-6 hours and still might not get tested.
That happened to my wife's sister; she was in line for over 4 hours and they stopped with the car ahead of her because they ran out of tests.

One daughter is a PA, so she was able to get tested quickly.
Other daughter had to drive to Bridgeport (40 minutes) and wait in line there.
Both tested positive. One says she has lost her sense of smell and taste; we have not experienced that.

We figured we wouldn't go through that bullshit to get tested.
If we were sick enough to have to go to the hospital (which doesn't seem likely at this point), we figured they would test us there.

The below link is from an article recently posted in Brit newspaper “Daily Mail”.

There is a possibility that this is actual. Knock-on-wood(en head), I’ve always gotten the flu shot annually in the military (20+ years). The flu is a coronavirus variant. While I may have the sniffles for a couple of days, nothing has ever knock me out except for atopic/walking pneumonia (a bacterial infection).

I may or may not have already been exposed to the CoVid, but if I have been, I didn’t feel different or badly (asymptomatic). And I won’t get tested just to see if I have been unless I actually experience symptoms. So maybe, just maybe, I fall into this category.

Now watch me come down with the CoVid Plague now that I’ve gone and expressed this thought.

Are some people naturally Covid-proof? Scientists around the world are studying the phenomenon of health workers and others who are regularly exposed to the disease but have yet to become infected

Mounting evidence that people are naturally resistant to Covid and its mutations

One theory is that they have previously recovered from different coronaviruses

Experts hope they can help create variant-proof vaccine to keep Covid at bay

Waterbury, take a bunch of vitamin D and C. And good luck.

So you got covid then later got your shots?
I want to verify the afib happened before the shots.

How did they treat your afib?

I wouldn’t be surprised at all. I thought I read early on in the pandemic that scientists predicted that a certain percentage of the population would be naturally immune just based on previous pandemics and outbreaks in human history.

If you think about it, if there were no naturally immune people when the Black Death swept through Europe, none of us would even be here today. I recall reading about people during the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic that were regularly exposed to infected people and they never caught it themselves.

Yeah, it kind of makes one look like a conspiracy theorist but this has been my opinion from the very beginning.

The reaction from nearly every government on this planet does not help the case of this being naturally occurring. Why go so hard?

Consider this: if this shit sprung up naturally WHY is there such a relentless and fanatical push to solve this in an unnatural way? If nature truly created it then why not let nature find the solution to its own problem? Why inject (pardon the word) unproven substances into our bodies at such a fever pitch if this didn’t leak out of a Chinese biological weapons lab?

The BIG question to me is not whether this was a weapon (that much is obvious to me) but whether it was the result of negligence resulting in a accidental leak or whether it was an intentional act. I would wager it was an accidental leak but unless the CCP collapses we won’t know the truth. The Soviets successfully covered up an Anthrax leak for decades.

The WHO pandemic exercise in Oct 2019 in NYC (sponsored by guess who - Creepy Bill) involved the release of a deadly Coronavirus from a bio-lab in Wuhan China. Who would have guessed?

A Captain with whom I fly and have become good friends has a background in Biology and Chemistry (I believe a Masters in both) before his USAF and aviation career. He showed me a paper written by the Chinese doctor out of Wuhan that blew the lid off this crap and CLEARLY proves this virus was manufactured. The paper has since been removed from the internet. Go figure...

The doctor's evidence showed two different DNA strings in the virus, one bat and one human. How could that even be possible, you ask? BY DESIGN, that's how. This bullshit was purposefully designed and whether it was released with intent or by accident, we'll never know. By I'd bet my house that King Faux-chi knows. Incidentally, the Chinese doctor "contracted" COVID soon after releasing his paper and summarily died. Yeah...I bet THAT would be an interesting autopsy... [/tin foil hat]

DENMARK: 90% Of Omicron Infections Found In 'Fully Vaccinated' Or 'Boosted' Individuals

https://nationalfile.com/denma...boosted-individuals/

The Omicron coronavirus variant continues to overwhelmingly infect vaccinated people across the globe. In Denmark, nearly 90% of Omicron cases were found in “fully vaccinated” or “boosted” individuals.

According to a report from the Danish Ministry of Health’s Statens Serum Institut (SSI), nearly 90% of individuals infected with the Omicron coronavirus variant are “fully vaccinated,” or have also had a “booster” injection.

https://files.ssi.dk/covid19/o...ianten-31122021-ct18

Out of a total reported 41,342 Omicron infections, 29,781 infected individuals had completed the primary vaccination injection schedule.

7,330 infected individuals had been injected with a “booster,” and 731 infected individuals had received one dose.

Compared to the 3,500 unvaccinated people who became infected with Omicron variant, 37,842 infected individuals had been injected with coronavirus vaccines.

The data appears to suggest a trend, as previous data from Germany showed that 96% of new Omicron coronavirus patients were “fully vaccinated,” while unvaccinated people accounted for only 4% of the infections.

A small sample of data released by the German government found that the Omicron coronavirus variant has been overwhelmingly infecting “fully vaccinated people,” including triple vaccinated people, while unvaccinated people remain largely unscathed by the newly discovered strain.

Out of 4,206 patients in the study, 4,020 had been injected with the COVID-19 vaccines, National File reported Thursday.

In the United States, data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that the Omicron variant had been overwhelmingly infecting people who had received vaccine injections for COVID-19 to the tune of 80%.

An explanation as to why vaccinated individuals appear to be getting infected with the new strain at such a staggering rate, when compared to those who have not been injected, could perhaps be found in a report by the New York Times, which claimed that experts in Israel had warned the Israeli government that “too many shots might cause a sort of immune system fatigue, compromising the body’s ability to fight the coronavirus.”

I believe that I brought this up way back when Covid was just beginning and I was researching viral transmission in general. I'm sure some scientists "are surprised" and "don't understand" what has been known prior to all of this nonsense:

https://www.jwatch.org/fw10860...ost-flu-asymptomatic

quote:

Influenza, whether of the seasonal or pandemic variety, is asymptomatic in most people with serologically confirmed infection, according to a study in the Lancet Respiratory Medicine.

Researchers studied five successive cohorts of people in England during the 2006-2011 flu seasons. The cohorts ranged in size from 600 to 3500, and all members provided blood samples before and after each flu season. Their households were contacted weekly to identify flu-like illness and symptoms.

On average, roughly 20% of the unvaccinated had serologic evidence of influenza infection, but up to three quarters of the infected were asymptomatic. The proportions did not vary significantly between seasonal and pandemic influenzas. The pandemic H1N1 strain was associated with less severe symptoms than the seasonal H3N2 strain.

A commentator says an important unanswered question is how much the asymptomatic cases contribute to flu transmission

Known facts:

Some people can not contract the flu at all.

Some people who contract the flu never know they have the flu as they remain asymptomatic.

Some people have minor symptoms while it is deadly for others.

Sound familiar? What I don't understand is why so many people are acting as if this virus works differently than every other virus out there, especially doctors and others who should know better. I keep reflecting back to my freshman year of biology in high school and how all of these Covid "discoveries" seem to fit nicely into what my text books explained.

Well that helps to explain a few things

In July of 2019, my wife and I signed up at attend a "Distinguished Speaker" event, where our guest was Arizona State University professor George Poste, who has studied viral "jumps" from animals to humans for decades. The doctor's topic was, "Fighting Infectious Disease and Bioterrorism" and the date of the event was 02/18/20. https://www.carislifesciences....sc-phd-frc-path-frs/

Dr. Poste's presentation was very interesting and extremely informative, and he provided those of us very good information about the subject matter, although he was wrong about his belief (based upon Chinese claims at the time) that we seemed to have "dodged a bullet" with the virus discovered in Wuhan. Dr. Poste pointed described how problematic it was for our country to be under-funding research on corona viruses here in the United States, and the dangers associated with outsourcing studies and production of pharmaceuticals in China.

Considering the fact that China's hostility towards the United States as an economic foe (at a minimum) is undisputed, "FOIA" (Freedom of Information Act) requests have proven that U.S. funding has been provided China to conduct "Gain of Function" research on corona viruses, and based upon the established trail of this virus's progress from Wuhan to countries outside China, I believe it's clear that COVID-19 did come from a lab, but was most probably an accidental release due to shoddy safety procedures and poorly trained/supervised employees. We needed the research and development done for our nation's own protection, but farmed it out "on the cheap" to the Chinese, and are now paying the price.

We never should have trusted this government (which is in fact the Chinese Communist Party/People's Liberation Army) with this kind of research, not only because of shoddy lab procedures, but due to the fact that the PLA can and would use these resources to develop biological weapons. They (the PLA) run these labs and for this reason alone, our government should have prohibited any and all assistance/involvement on our part.

The conspiracy here, is similar to what happened in Chernobyl during the reign of the USSR: An attempt to the known scope of the harm done and (if that's not possible) to allow those responsible to avoid accountability. Those responsible here in the U.S. (individuals and corporations that funneled funding or other resources to China) need to be held accountable. If individuals in our country committed criminal acts, they MUST be charged and tried. Criminal and civil penalties need to be applied.

“ responsible (including U.S. citizens and corporations that funnel funding or other resources to China) need to be held accountable.”

The people responsible are the richest, most connected people on the planet- not to mention more or less all of the world leaders at the moment. Despite COPIOUS clear evidence of both ineffectiveness of the “vaccines” as well as the harm they do, nearly all 1st world leaders are joined in a massive effort to get needles in arms. Now…why would that be?

The “people responsible” are never going to indict themselves.

If you're inclined to believe that the people of this nation have so little power to take action and resolve to rectify the issues, why even speak up? You're just part of the problem. There's plenty of pessimists out there. Enabling the status quo to go unquestioned regarding their past criminal acts only empowers them more.

Looks like we learned nothing.


Biden and China Are Partners in a New Wuhan Lab, EcoHealth Hunt for ‘Recombinant’ Rodent Coronaviruses.

https://thenationalpulse.com/2...odent-coronaviruses/

Researchers from the COVID-19-linked Wuhan Institute of Virology and disgraced researcher Peter Daszak’s EcoHealth Alliance have carried out new research on “recombinant” coronaviruses in rodents, a recently published paper reveals. The paper lists the Chinese regime as well as Joe Biden’s International Development department as funders and supporters of the dangerous work.

The October document – “A Novel Potentially Recombinant Rodent Coronavirus with a Polybasic Cleavage Site in the Spike Protein” – describes how researchers sampled rodents and shrews collected from the wild for coronavirus prevalence. In the years preceding COVID-19, the Wuhan Institute of Virology carried out similar expeditions to gather data on bats.

Using the samples collected, researchers from the Wuhan lab in collaboration with the American non-profit EcoHealth Alliance discovered “killer” viruses that they bragged were capable of “direct human infection.”

The new paper, which counts researchers from seven Chinese state-run scientific institutions including one person affiliated with the Wuhan Institute of Virology’s Laboratory of Special Pathogens and Biosafety, is authored by three EcoHealth Alliance Researchers including President Peter Daszak. The National Pulse has previously revealed Daszak’s extensive relationship with the Chinese Communist Party, prompting his removal from the Lancet’s COVID-19 commission due to conflicts of interest.

“In this study, we tested nearly 300 rodents collected from urban and rural sites in southern China,” the paper summarizes its methodology which yielded the following results:

Here, we sampled 297 rodents and shrews, representing eight species, from three municipalities of southern China. We report coronavirus prevalences of 23.3% and 0.7% in Guangzhou and Guilin, respectively, with samples from urban areas having significantly higher coronavirus prevalences than those from rural areas. We obtained three coronavirus genome sequences from Rattus norvegicus, including a Betacoronavirus (rat coronavirus [RCoV] GCCDC3), an Alphacoronavirus (RCoV-GCCDC5), and a novel Betacoronavirus (RCoV-GCCDC4). Recombination analysis suggests that there was a potential recombination event involving RCoV-GCCDC4, murine hepatitis virus (MHV), and Longquan Rl rat coronavirus (LRLV).

“Recombination analysis suggests that there was a potential recombination event involving RCoV-GCCDC4, murine hepatitis virus (MHV), and Longquan Rl rat coronavirus (LRLV). Furthermore, we uncovered a polybasic cleavage site, RARR, in the spike (S) protein of RCoV-GCCDC4, which is dominant in RCoV,” the paper adds.

Among the paper’s financial supporters are several Chinese Communist Party-run scientific bodies, including those with ties to the regime’s military. President Joe Biden’s U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) also funded the field animal sampling portion of the study.
