Reply to comment by drpvn in NYC Issues Plea as ‘Most Transmissible Form of COVID-19 We Know of to Date' Spreads by brooklynlad

i donno what i had goin on because I got a negative PCR and my family all did in fact have covid over christmas. it did certainly spread violently once one person got sick.

I am vaxxed and double boosted. been over 2wks now and I was STARTING to not feel like death but also I decided to start doing physical stuff again and it was clearly too soon since my symptoms started coming right back.

Somehow my mom and dad were mostly better within a week and a half. I'm half their age and generally in better shape of course, but it hit me WAY harder regardless. Medical research do be like that sometimes though. I'm sure no one in this thread wants to hear it, but >!apparently there have been some EXTREMELY rare cases of people getting a different type of RSV after the vaccine having crazy (and I mean CRAZY)complications. Again I say extremely rare, not statistically significant enough to matter in the grand scheme at all.!<

>!But it turns out.... my cousin who it just happens to be that he's the guy in better shape than ANYONE I know was one of the aforementioned people. Something like one in 10 million. Luckily he noticed something was wrong because he somehow ended up with very severe pericarditis. He's fine now thanks to being very in tune with his body, if not... he easily could have let it go a day or even a few hours longer and that would have been it.!<

yay sourcing your info is super important when it comes to current day issues so you know I'm not just some idiot, but some idiot who's experience does happen to correlate with a bunch of other idiots that SOMEONE(wait really, who's idea was the last 10-20 years of CDC service in general pls stop) thought it was a good idea to put in charge.

> pericarditis

I know two people who in their 40s also got myocarditis after the vaccine. I think it really its like 10 out of every million.

I wish I could say for sure but we won't have a realistic way to guess at these things for years at least. Whether it's one in 100,000 or one in 1,000,000, NEITHER of those are significant enough to be an anti-vax moron. I REALLY WISH i could give my cousin 5 minutes alone with each of those people concurrently. I know he would SURE love it.

Our sample size of 3 indicates that people over 30 are the prime target for these side symptoms, and that it doesn't matter if you're literally in fighting shape. Not very useful but it's an anecdote.

That’s one out of every 100,009

I was similar to you.. a solid 7 days of symptoms and day 6/7 were mild in terms of symptoms (sore throat, congestion, cough). Mid 30’s, pretty fit, vaxxed and boosted. The worst of it involved heavy fever, normal symptoms, vomiting and diarrhea lasting for 48 hours

yeah... waking up so full of crap that you just gotta throw up is greeaaaat. I talked to a friend yesterday and he heard something about getting the flu ALSO and that somehow making PCRs come back neg even when you have COVID. Not sure if he was getting it confused with the instant tests or any of that tho.

jahblaze t1_j4ie9mu wrote on January 15, 2023 at 11:01 PM

Yeah that was my suspicion as to what I got, covid plus flu. I tested positive for covid before all the flu symptoms flared up

lmao. Inevitably I got downvoted for trying to add something to the conversation, just like I thought. Facts and reason have no place here as usual.

If that is in fact what it was, my god. It was awful. top 5 worst I've ever felt easily. Who knows, will be a while before we can get up to like 99% accuracy with telling the difference between these novel respiratory viruses. (not that the flu or RSV itself is new but constantly mutating.)
