Well, me and my wife finally caught Covid. She began feeling sick/showing symptoms on Saturday, I started on Sunday. We tested positive on Tuesday. Our symptoms have been body aches, headaches, I ran a fever for the first day or so, my wife had some nausea/vomiting. It literally felt like the flu to me. But, here we are on Thursday and I’m feeling basically 100%, my wife is much better as well. We never experienced any breathing issues at all. Neither one of us vaxxed, came through just fine.

Did they treat you at all when they told you that you had Covid? That’s one of my biggest issues with our response. The number of people who were just sent home and told to drink plenty

Nope, no treatment. We had some cold/flu type stuff from Walgreens at home, so it was basically using that and like you said “stay hydrated” and all the other usual stuff.

That is a treatment though, and is more than suitable for most people. I didn't even take any medicine when I had it.

It's turning out that there are a ton of people hospitalized as a precaution due to comorbidities, not necessarily because of actual displayed symptoms. I'm not sure what else there could be to do for 99% of people.

Same as us.

Fortunately we didn't all die from the big bad COVID boogieman. We scraped by by the skin of our teeth since we're unprotected by the miracle jab!

I’m wondering how many lives have been lost by the refusal to treat Covid patients. I’m glad you and yours are well. I’m recovering from it as, well. As is the gf and her parents.

Originally her parents were not treated just told what you were. Her mother has MS so she takes a lot of immune suppressants. So we pushed the issue until we finally found a doctor willing to get her monoclonal antibodies. They were here for the holidays when they got diagnosed and had no luck finding any. After what felt like an act of congress she finally got hers in Texas (their home) yesterday. The father was prescribed ivermectin by their family practitioner in TX. But when diagnosed here, nothing was done for them

Not sure what any of that has to do with me agreeing that people should stop celebrating death of one person who took the vaccine or celebrating the one death of an unvaccinated person that caught Covid.

Or were you just FOS?

If Covid is as dangerous as proclaimed, we should be treating people before the hospital. That’s my issue.

Some of those comorbidities are being hospitalized to treat. Some places refuse to give monoclonal antibodies until you’re admitted, for example.

This is some scary stuff, not going to a doctor because you assume your anal bleeding is being caused from being near someone who is vaccinated.

It sounds like it’s on the same level as wearing gloves and an N95 in your car alone. What does this add to the conversation?

That's not accurate. You have it backward.

Monoclonal Antibodies vs. Vaccines vs. COVID-19: What to Know

From the above link, in the 2nd paragraph, found under the question "How is it different from a vaccine?" :

"Monoclonal antibodies (such as those made by Regeneron) boost the immune system after you are already sick, speeding up your immune response to prevent COVID-19 from getting worse. 'But a vaccine does this much easier and much better,' Petty says.

You can think of monoclonal antibodies as guided missiles that target and neutralize the virus, Fales says. But they don't stick around. While monoclonal antibodies are effective for about a month, they are gone 6 months later, when a vaccine still offers significant protection."

Have you had Covid?

I was all about the vaccine last year and got them as quickly as I was able. Now I am, needless to say, very disillusioned with their value in preventing covid. I am happy that they do seem to limit the severity of the symptoms. I will probably go ahead and get the booster soon although it sounds like the latest variants aren’t nearly as dangerous. Plus travel is very important to me and most European countries are requiring the booster before I can enter, so i guess it is roll up my sleeve time again

Here’s my problem. We have antivirals we know work. We have monoclonal antibodies we know work. We also know you have to get these things quick for them to work. Yet we wait until you’re in a hospital and it’s likely too late to treat.

The obvious question here is why? Why would we allow people to die if they’re vaccinated or not when we know we have effective treatment? I think the answer is a mix of media/political pressure and fear from providers.

You aren't reading his post very well. He said that a COVID vaccine wouldn't provide protection for more than 6 months, and my link disputed that.

I don't think you are on the same page. I was fully vaccinated and wasn't eligible for the booster yet when I caught covid. My entire family of mostly vaccinated people got infected. My sister and my aunt had the worst of it. Both vaccinated and both hospitalized. They got the antibody treatment and went home the next day. I waited a day before going to get the regeneron because my wife had not tested positive yet and covid wreaked havoc on me. We got the shots and the next day it was all but gone. My 50 year old cousin and my daughter were not vaccinated. My cousin went as soon as she tested positive and was better the next day. My daughter had a headache for the first evening and nothing else.

This virus isn't going away and everyone will eventually get it, vaccinated or not. I believe we should be concentrating on treating the virus.

I get a lot of people replying to me....

I understand how some of those cases might give room for pause. However, if we are speaking globally here, 3.88 billion people have been fully vaccinated around the world. That amounts to roughly 49.8% of the Earth's human population. How many cases have you found? Is it less than 100? Give me a break.

Lol give me a break!! You asked me for 1 single case. I provided way more then that and I can easily find more but I know that you will continue to povot and move the goalposts. My point is all of the push to have the vaccines mandated is absurd given the fact that vaccine injuries are real.
