It's an experiment with a pretty big sample size. And it was probably less dangerous for me than walking to the library today.

You probably still have some immunity yes. However you can be re-infected.
I actually know one of your thinkalikes, an antivaxer who caught it a year ago and had mild flu symptoms. She caught it again last week, Delta. This time she's quite ill, but not hospitalised. Yet.
Of course no one cares about long COVID but it can be very unpleasant. My daughter lost her sense of smell by catching it way back pre-vaccines. 20 months later she's still got no sense of smell and taste. She's also got what in now described as COVID finger.
Good luck, I'm sure you'll be fine.
Experimental injection not required
Thank you for participating as the control sample.

It's surprising how many of you anti-vaxers suddenly lose their fear of taking 'experimental' injections once they turn up in ICU. They tend to be very happy to fill their bodies with everything and anything if it helps them breathe again.
Does your rejection of COVID vaccinations also include rejection of COVID treatments?
There was a nurse on the radio the other day explaining how angry-making it was to be asked by a patient very ill with COVID "I'll have the vaccination now". A regular occurrence apparently.
Too late I'm afraid.

Doing fine... No it's not fine at all... Melbourne is the most locked down city in the world, ok. Jobs lost, livelihoods lost, massive debt, sanity lost, homes lost, lives lost. It makes me cry thinking about the main so many of my friends are going through. Anecdotally I know no one who has been harmed by covid yet everyone I know has been harmed by the government response. Everyone Is so focused on covid that there ignoring everything else
My doc said as long as I have natural antibodies I'm protected. It's past 6 months, well see in another 6 or 12 months.
The jab does give you antibodies according to studies but their gone in 12 weeks so u need boosters. And you can still catch and spread it. Natural immunity is better
Anyway, for many us we don't care about covid, I dont, I over it all over the media every single day... It's become a moral issue because we are being punished for nothing. In Vic we can't work or go almost anywhere. Why not? How are we going to survive?
Do you think it's right that people are being forced to take the needle and being discriminated against?
And this desperate push to vax everyone. Shouldn't there be a control group? Shouldn't there be informed consent?
Most people are against this but some people want it. I ask them why and they have no explanation, only hate for us. We've done nothing wrong

Fair enough. We ought to love one another.
But what's a needle got to do with that? Nothing
And where is the love for the pro choice... No where..
Only vilification and discrimination... Why. We've done nothing wrong

She's also got what in now described as COVID finger.
Could you please describe the symptoms of that?
We move our fingers with tendons that connect them to muscles in the forearm. Those tendons route through ligament tunnels (consult your Gray's Anatomy for more details). Any obstruction in those tunnels can cause problems.
After my 9-day bout with COVID exactly one year ago (pre-vaccine for me), I developed a "trick thumb" in my left hand. It could remain extended just fine (and I used that as the resting position at night), but if I tried to bend it then it would resist my movement and then suddenly snap to a curled position accompanied with pain. Similarly, extending it again would be just the same, also accompanied with pain, so once I got it extended I tried to keep it there. I could not curl and extend it smoothly as we normally can do with all our digits, but rather it had basically just two positions that it would snap between painfully. And on the inside of my left hand (palmar side) toward the top of the metacarpal bone (distal end), just below (proximal to) the first phalanx of the thumb, there was a painful knot, the apparent location of the inflammation.
That was in my left hand and it took weeks for it to go away, but then the same thing showed up with my right thumb and ring finger. The ring finger lingered longer than the thumb, but it wasn't as bad as with my left thumb.
Is that what "COVID finger" is? BTW, I kept my senses of smell and taste, but still have a lingering cough.
And of course I've been fully vaccinated since then. I'm no idiot!

Me COVID and Vax
I am vaxed and boosted and getting out of COVID isolation tomorrow. My test came back last week positive. My symptoms were like a medium cold.
When the new booster comes out I will be in line for it. The reason my symptoms were mild is because I am vaxed.
Why am I vaccinated?
Why am I wearing a mask?
So when you or someone you love has a heart attack or a stroke or a car accident, or when your kid gets pneumonia, there will be a hospital bed for them because I won’t be in it.

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts

"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?
