what about all those who died who were vaccinated 🤔 

@chia the vaccine only works if you wear a mask and are healthy? 🤔 

The purpose of the vaccine is to keep you from dying, not to keep you from getting it. We are not there yet and may never get there, just like with the common cold. This is a virus like none other that we have ever seen before. The cause of deaths is basically due to a state of blood hyper viscosity not hyper coagulopathy as was originally thought. Just this morning I finished reading a medical article on this very subject. We have learned so much in the last three years. We have a vaccine that is keeping MOST people from dying. Obesity and diabetes continue to be two big comorbidities. If that is not incentive to stay on your weight control program then I don’t know what it would take. We do know that most of the masks that are being used are of very limited use because they are reused too often, don’t fit properly and handled carelessly. Plus, the viral particles are so small they pass through. Still, I wear a kn95 when I am in higher risk situations like planes, airports, Walmart, movies, plays. I do not wear one when I am outside walking/hiking. I also have not had a cold or the flu in 3 years or been sick with anything else. We currently have three new variants floating around including the one that has hit China so hard. It is now in the New York area—- soon coming to your hometown. 

I think it's more likely that the people who wore masks -- yet still caught Covid -- did so because they wore them only covering their mouth but not their nose, or pulled the masks down to talk (defeating the purpose of the mask). I still wear a mask when indoors publicly, and have not caught Covid (I also vax). I lost all my weight when quarantine started because I didn't want to die, nor be fat, nor die fat. I believe Darwin's theory applies to the majority of the deaths post vaccine. 

I thought we were here to share our weight loss journeys, not to talk vaccines. 

Kenna thank you for posting this!! It reminds me of the tale with a guy on top of his house in a flood, & he refuses a boat & helicopter from helping him. As he's about to die, he asks God for help. God replies, I did! Who do you think sent the boat & helicopter, dumbass? Anti-vaxers are the same, & don't see the vaccines as life saving or God given if you will. Then again, they don't understand or "believe in" science so they don't/won't hear the truth. My MIL refused the vax (with an enlarged heart, kidney failure & diabetes, no less!) She should've been 1st on line. Now she has Covid in a Rehab/Nursing home. She'll be lucky if she survives & doesn't kill anyone there. She's so selfish & stubborn! Anyway, I appreciate you posting the facts, & everyone who's gotten a vaccine.  

@zerocool3 I recommend you talk with your primary health care provider about the Covid vaccine, ways to minimize the risk of getting Covid, and about how different vaccines work. Based on your question you see confused about how the Covid vaccine works, about what the purpose of the vaccine is, and about how to decrease the chance of getting Covid, as well as about how Covid affects people with certain pre-existing health issues, and how the vaccine works with compromised immune systems (e.g. cancer patients undergoing immunotherapy). Of course, you may be just in a crappy mood and trying to provoke with your questions, but I am inclined to assume good intentions first. Either way, a health professional you know and trust will be able to answer most or all of your questions related to the Covid vaccine. Stay safe, keep getting vaccinated to protect yourself and others as much as possible from getting Covid / the consequences of getting Covid. 

The important thing is that people try to stay informed and make the best choices they can for their situation. My sister had Covid during the first wave— December of 2019. Her significant other died. She survived. She had a bad reaction to her first Covid shot and an even worse one from the second so no more for her. She also has every co-morbidity ever known to modern mankind and now has severe long hauler syndrome. There are somethings worse than dying and that is her situation. I lost 16 people in my extended world during the height of the pandemic and only 2-3 were older. The rest were 20-50’s and healthy people. Three little kids included in those numbers. I am grateful for the vaccine. 

Tatescrow— this is a weight loss site and you are free to scroll by. However this is also also about becoming or staying as healthy as we can. Unfortunately this is an unusual time in history when things like our weight, having diabetes, auto immune diseases play a big role in our likelihood of surviving this virus if we do get it—it is not just about having “mild” symptoms, binging movies for a few days at home and then returning to normal. For many people that does not happen. Long Covid is REAL. HEART DAMAGE is a problem showing up as much as 6 months after the fact. The virus is mutating so fast— science/medicine is doing all they can to keep up with the changes and alter the vaccine as they can. This is just my take on this bur I do try to keep up with what is happening and put it out there for people who might be interested to see. Then they can decide to investigate further or ignore and do what they want about their findings.
