Megyn Kelly: I Regret Getting The COVID Vaccine, I Have Tested Positive For An Autoimmune Issue

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/v...mune_issue.html

quote:

SiriusXM host Megyn Kelly talked about why she regrets getting the COVID vaccine after developing an autoimmune issue.

"I regret getting the vaccine even though I am a 52-year-old woman because I don't think I needed," Kelly said. "I think I would have been fine. I've gotten COVID many times and it was well past when the vaccine was doing what it was supposed to be doing."

"For the first time, I tested positive for an autoimmune issue at my annual physical," Kelly revealed. "And I went to the best Rheumatologist in New York, and I asked her, do you think this could have to do with the fact that got the drat booster and then got COVID within three weeks? And she said yes. Yes. I wasn't the only one she'd seen that with.”

Honestly, a factor of one point six is pretty pathetic for a spike with that many mutations. Neutralization is just weak around the board, but it’s like Pirola is a gifted student that isn’t applying themselves.

I think that that’s against pseudovirus though, so take it with a grain of salt. Reality could be more like a factor of sixteen; that’s how bad pseudovirus assays are.

The talk of potential masking at a few of the gov jobs we do at my company has come up and people are very mad about it. Old man inspector, that mind you is never going to be going to the site or have to mask anyways as he is strictly in desk jockey territory, went into a long winded rant about having heard the science on his radio stations that covid is too small and no known mask can stop it from getting through.

I live in a conservative place so I've given up caring if people just refuse to mask or vaccinated or whatever because GOVERNER INSLEE *Shakes fist* isn't their real dad, but it really gets my goat hearing people talk about "Doing their own research" which begins and ends with listening to some local dipshit with a microphone on whatever conservative talkshow they enjoy. At least the oppositional defiant disorder babies I can understand, regardless of whether or not I think they're being dumb, but the people who genuinely believe they're making the more educated choice is just painful to hear.

They merely seek out sources that say what they want to hear. If their favorite RTLM talk jock said to wear a good sealing mask and to get the vaccine, they would stop listening to him and probably flood the station with death threats.

Yeah, those two cohorts are the same on the right. Slapping on a veneer of intellectualism doesn't fundamentally change that they made their decision beforehand.

Though I will grant that it is a tiny bit more nuanced on the left side of things.

It's a week out from my partner's symptom onset and a day and a half since finishing Pax. She tested negative today, hooray! I know we're not out of the woods yet, but at least it's going about as mildly as could be hoped so far.

I think I want to get a PCR test to just make sure I didn't get tagged, even though my rapids have been negative and I haven't had any symptoms. When is the right time to do that? I was figuring sometime this weekend, but I'm not really sure.

10 days from the symptom onset of your partner is probably as good a day as any for your PCR test, I suppose you could do like 11-12 days but if you were to assume you picked up asymptomatic covid from her on her first symptomatic day then the infection could already be waning and perhaps over before you PCR test if you wait too many more days. Hell an asymptomatic infection could already be over anyway for you, just due to variance in individuals and covid doing it's wacky so random thing.

Tell him that N95s can't stop virus particles, but they can stop shedding particles produced by the vaccinated.

Nice how it's presented as one big shrug, like covid is now "endemic" so it's a big, warm blanket. just red-faced hacking coughs and myriad other symptoms constantly for everyone as no big deal.

groundbreaking stuff:

quote:

It just doesn’t stick to a single season, and there’s just not enough information at this point for experts to definitively say, “Okay, that probably means it’s not seasonal. This is going to be a year-round thing, and that’s going to just kind of suck in perpetuity”—or you know, this disease is still quite new.

It’s been around for less than four years, and maybe eventually it will be more predictable. I think a lot of experts kind of lean toward the latter: that this probably will be a cold-weather disease. But there’s really not a guarantee of that. We don’t even fully understand why diseases that are known to be predictably seasonal are predictably seasonal, which is kind of a mind-boggling thing. So the fact that cases are rising now could be anything from, oh, you know, a lot of people are congregating indoors, but that’s not a full explanation ’cause we’re indoors
