Vaccine or not?

Self-owned private practice, on staff at the largest Children's hospital in the area, keep regular communication with the Chief of Staff and several subspecialists.

Treatment wise, I recommend vitamin C, D, and zinc, sunlight and light exercise, if possible, plenty of fluids, healthful diet for all. History of asthma/lung disease = inhaled steroid. Nasal symptoms/loss of smell or taste = intranasal steroid.

I've sent about four teenagers with comorbid conditions for antibody infusions, but that's not really an option now, with the mutated spike protein.

I have had several adult friends and colleagues that took cocktails of ivermectin +/- hcq, steroids, and vitamins, and they all seemed to respond very quickly (1-2 days).

So should I ask my primary next week for an intranasal steroid? Chocolate and peanut butter tastes rotten to me. Had covid in July.

Not sure how much it will help this far out, but wouldn't hurt. Flonase and Nasacort are OTC now.

Good, now we're getting somewhere. So, because of this group's poor choices (drinking sugar, eating crap food, being sedentary, heavy alcohol consumption, and smoking), there has been a major strain on our healthcare system and hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths. However, there are several posters demanding that others should not have the right to make personal decisions about their health in regards to an experimental shot.

Right wrong or indifferent it's called liberty. I'm on the side of liberty and am fully vaxed.

And pretty much 100% are going to survive regardless.

Nice way to survive…
With 293M having covid * 50% long-covid rate = ~150M experiencing long covid symptoms. Those 150M are still experiencing symptoms listed below:

I have several of those. None of them but one are covid related(two kids). The taste of chocolate and peanut butter changed two months after recovery. It was and is odd.

The hits just keep on coming!

By all accounts then somebody out of my crew ought to have the old "long COVID". Probably one of my filthy unvaxxed wife or my filthy unvaxxed self.

And yet here we are, fit as a fiddle.

I don't know a single person with "long COVID," and we've probably had 200+ family friends/neighbors/staff and their families contract and recover from CV19. And no, I don't count "not being able to smell farts" as "long COVID." Additionally, not a single patient in our entire practice of several thousand kids has any lingering issues.

I just don't understand how anyone can get off making up a hilarious number like 50% of people have this mystery variant of long COVID. It's nuts.

Cool story. It's not "21k vaccine deaths", despite your rambling deflection.

Ok fine, let's say you are right. Do you actually think that every documented death form COVID was actually from COVID, or did some of these people just die from something else and happen to test positive? Cuts both ways ya know!

Another article, Washington Post

50 percent of people who survive covid-19 face lingering symptoms, study finds

Holy hell that "study" is garbage. Did you even bother to open it? They deliberately selected studies almost entirely about hospitalized people, for one, then applied it across the general population. Their average age in the study was about 55. And studies of studies are usually heavily influenced by whatever bias the goobers in charge already have- it's not anything truly observational, it's just whatever these people had time to read on the toilet.

"Science" in this country is dead.

I can ASSURE everyone that even my most vax-crazy, fearful friends and colleagues in medicine wouldn't report anywhere even close to the crazy numbers in that loser ****-piece of an "article." It's simply preposterous.

But, by all means, listen to someone who surfs TicTok and WaPo for medical information over those who have cared for COVID patients for two years.

Then again, maybe all my friends and patients have just gotten lucky. A quick calculation puts those odds approximately at winning the Powerball two weeks in a row.

(Edited for statistical accuracy)

Anecdotal:

We got COVID. I assume Omicron. My wife is kinda tired. Kinda has a scratchy throat. I feel basically nothing except maybe once an hour my nose surprises me with a big drop of snot falling out all of a sudden. Both of us are double vaxed (Pfizer) with no boosters.

We had a big weekend with some friends where we either got/gave it. One of our friends is on her ass. IDK her vax status but she's super fit. Another friend tested positive, but not sure how he's feeling or his vax status. My cousin and his wife (no vaccine of any sort) are on day 4 of being completely wiped.

I thought Omicron wasn't supposed to be much harsher than a cold, but it seems pretty bad for 3 of our friends (so far). My boss (he's fit) had it last month and he was wiped too (and I would guess he's vaccinated but don't know).

Why aren't people getting the original covid? Or delta anymore? They got to keep going through the alphabet to scare us?

The whole problem is that journals have entirely abandoned the stringent standards that they used to have. JAMA itself says it now allows opinion pieces on their open access platform. I've stopped using a lot of what gets pushed on there now in work because it's basically Wikipedia.

Of course, though, the media can now run a story that somehow half of people that have had COVID now have long lasting symptoms like motor dysfunction.

Academia sure does a lot to make sure people don't think they're absolute cancer.

EDIT: I neglected to mention that I am actually published in a journal. So maybe our resident insane people will question their value with that knowledge.

It's just plain ridiculous, and it's dangerous. So many outlets and publications have lost all credibility.

In addition, the poster in question clearly knows how stupid that "information" is, yet continues to spam the site with similar crap. It could certainly be viewed as trolling, which is against the policies of VN.

I would advise him or her to tread lightly, or stay in the kindergarten-fun COVID Meme echo chamber thread in the Pub.
