Viruses / Vaccines

This local story here pretty much sums up the reason to get vaxxed:

family of 4, all contracted Covid. Pregnant mother & 14 yr old daughter who were vaccinated at home with mild symptoms. Father and 12 year old daughter, both unvaccinated, both intubated at Mass General Hospital.

Massachusetts Father and daughter battling COVID in ICU are stable, but still intubated, family says - masslive.com

Mike and Mikayla DeCelle were both separately taken to Salem Hospital within the last week. Mike was transferred to MGH with dangerously low oxygen levels and later sedated and intubated, a GoFundMe page set up by close friends said. After first being brought to the hospital with breathing troubles Thanksgiving night, Mikayla was transferred to MGH and intubated Monday.
The entire family, including mother Erica, pregnant with a boy due in February, and other daughter Kylie, has tested positive for the virus. Both are vaccinated and have experienced mild symptoms. Neither Mike nor Mikayla were vaccinated.

I thought intubating was a bad idea?  Last article I read said only a third of intubated covid patients make it.

Right but not intubating has an even lower survival rate.  Intubating is the last resort for acute respiratory failure.  

I was looking for more info on that but got sidetracked.  I am very much curious about intubating covid patients.

I wouldn't  vaccinate a kid. Just my opinion 

this is child abuse

I mean, it's not actually

but it should be

So shoot me. Who  are you to choose for my child.

obviously a better parent than you ever will be

Maybe take a break for a bit. 

Forever. 

Keep this trash talk on Twitter or Facebook where it belongs. Not here. 

I thought AMT was THE place for Self Righteousness?  

Ha! It shouldn’t be though. I remember the first time I came to AMT. I was mostly on the porch. I was shocked and appalled by the way a few here spoke to other people. 

Same I used to check the porch for info on tours etc...then during lockdown i found the place to argue on the internet and now I don't even care about the music anymore, I just want the merch and arguing on AMT

Haven’t been in this thread in a long time so forgive me if this has been discussed.   Thoughts on the booster shot?  Yeah or nay?

I don't think there will be an option for much longer, at least not if you want to keep your "fully vaxxed" status.  I was just in the same boat.  "Do I need it?"  "Do I get it?"  And then I got hit with the real deal, so the decision was made for me.  Unfortunately when (not if) it becomes required for "fully vaxxed" status, my fresh natural immunity will mean nothing to our government though, which I've always felt was flawed thinking.

You'd have to take a test to prove that you have antibodies.  There's millions of Americans that have had COVID but never were tested, home tested, etc.  So I don't think the states have an accurate tally.
