MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WPDE) — It has been a scary month in the hospital for a woman who contracted COVID-19. She said the near-death experience has her rethinking some of the bad things she thought about the vaccine.

"I never imagined it would happen to me," Nicki Collins said. "I was in the hospital twice; very close to being ventilated."

Collins said she has a lot of fear after this brush with death.

The 48-year-old thought about her life before COVID-19 wreaked havoc and tried to put together the pieces of a life that has been shattered. "I'm relatively young, healthy and work out five to six times a week," Collins said. "I never imagined it would do this to my body."

However, Collins said she chose not to get vaccinated. She said she was treated with convalescent plasma and Remdesivir.

"I've always been anti-vaccine, I'm more of a natural health person. I have trusted my immune system. This has made me question that," she said. The FDA gave full approval to the Pfizer vaccine Monday, undergoing rigorous testing and review.

Collins said she is still considering if she wants to be vaccinated. "I need to do more research and figure out what that looks like. My husband did get vaccinated because of this," she said. There is a slow change of heart.

"I'm definitely hesitant but I'm leaning towards it," she said.


Collins wants no one else to experience the unimaginable. "Social distance, wear a mask, and do whatever it takes to avoid this," she said.

The CDC recommends vaccinations for those who are eligible.

Watching the red slowly creep into my state and closer to my county is some horror movie poo poo.

People here are masking up and responsible, and vaxx rates are relatively high compared to other parts of the country, but they're also tired as gently caress and doing dumb poo poo like going to concerts and eating at restaurants and poo poo like that.

If Minneapolis is an example of a relatively good public response to Covid, then we're all hosed.

Seattle, I'd guess. But unless you live near Anchorage or maybe Fairbanks you are pretty hosed anyway since most of the villages have a paramedic at best and even the regional hubs just have a small hospital that might not even have a single ICU bed.

Anyone know if placebo shots make your arm hurt? My friends got their kids into one of the vaccine trials and are trying to figure out if they can tell if they get the real shot or are in the control group.

Here's the FDA's fact sheet on the adverse reactions during the Pfizer trials when they applied for EUA status, including reactions from the placebo group : https://www.fda.gov/media/144413/download

Mild and moderate reactions for pretty much all types of adverse reaction were common in the placebo group, and in some cases (mild/moderate diarrhea, moderate/severe vomiting) were even more common.

last time, on a very special episode of "The COV-Office."
- boss' bff od's on IVM; goes into brief Totally Cool Totally Normal coma
- "hey could you... check on the horses? /wink/"
- still shot of the main hallway and you just hear various people coughing
- coworker brings in toddler; shot of kid running around office; shot of toddler suddenly very ill
- boss, pointing at what looks like COVID-toe on his hand, "do you think something toxic in the ground at the baseball park caused this during his game last weekend?"

/theme song and pre-roll; produced by dick wolf/

answered a question i already knew today: if someone in this office had COVID, would we be informed of that? the answer is "No." i know this because the coworker that brought her toddler in has COVID and so does her toddler. i only know this because the boss' partner and HR were talking and, in between Black Angels songs, i heard their name and "sick" (she's been out four days; we don't offer PTO; that's kind of a big deal to miss without pay).

"they're the only person i know who didn't get the shot and got COVID."

here are other words that were said from human mouths and were, in no way, intended as parody:

- fda is owned by the nwo
- 'i believe in ivm not this vaccine stuff'
- 'it's the government making everyone scared'
- 'i say this /mame/ the other day'
- you know it's the only vax that goes into your bloodstream. vaxes aren't supposed to do that and if you shine a light where they injected you: you can see where the injection has gone through the vein and into the bloodstream.
- it modifies your RNA and that's not natural or something i'm ok with.
- if you look at history the way they control is talking you into things then the next time it's not a soft request. then it's harder. to the point where we are not deciding what we do.
- they came out with a navy article the other day with a navy officer who wouldn't let people on the ship make port calls unless they got the shot. can you imagine how lovely that is for everyone on that ship?
- 'and they think we're all too stupid to realize this,' from the woman who said she was thankful her chiropractor called her a little before the national emergency test and told her to turn off her phone because that was the way the president was going to ping everyone to see if it worked.

hoo wee. that's a lot--

...

as i typed this out, the front door opened and the co-worker who was out with COVID as of Monday walked through the front door. i'm not even making GBS threads you. first words: it's ok, i don't have a fever.

/shot of me, quietly closing my door. sitting back in my chair. making the face GWB made a few pages into that book on 9/11. while "New Sniper" by The Black Angels plays/

/cut to black/

next time, on a very special "The COV-Office"

did some napkin math.
the coworker was here with their kid on the 18th (Wednesday). out 19 and 20 with a sick kid. presumably symptoms appeared around there. back today, says no fever still has cough/sneeze, but no PTO is a solid motivating factor to be cured asap.

well. i guess we're going to see real soon what the outcome is since i'm the only person that took the slut juice in this office of ~12 people.

I know the answer is "because they're dumb, no further elaboration required" but I really don't get why the Q/antivax crowd fixated on an anti-parasitic medication for anti-viral purposes and how most people can''t look at that discrepancy at the face of it and say "obviously this won't work"
