FKIM01 Posted November 11, 2021 Report Share Posted November 11, 2021 More anecdotal evidence of COVID & blood clots... My friend (late 30's) had COVID earlier and subsequently had surgery to remove his spleen. He has been throwing blood clots ever since. Three more emergency surgeries to remove blood clots and if today's surgery is unsuccessful, he's looking at a partial leg amputation. @mrflynn03...he's on S/T disability with your employer. One of my employee's children's stepmother had clot issues after being vaccinated. She's in her 40's and has already had one partial amputation and is looking at a likely second partial amputation. Both local cases...one in Greene county and one in Sullivan. In both cases, doctors are blaming COVID or the vaccine for causing the clots. This has unfortunately become a life-changing pandemic. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear that. I have to wonder how many other issues / cases will eventually pop up and how many will actually get reported and or linked to the vaccines. I saw something I was going to post here but didn't get around to it and now can't find it about how the the first wave of post vaccination babies are now arriving and there are more going to the NICU. This was just a report from one hospital but it makes you wonder how accurate and / or widespread the issue could be. I do fear t hat we will be dealing with health issues and other tangential issues like depression and drug use that resulted from Covid for many many years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inequality Posted November 11, 2021 Report Share Posted November 11, 2021 So local elementary schools here have had nearly zero reported covid cases. And the ones that were reported/diagnosed were ran through the protocol and those kids returned back to school. No deaths. None. Now the schools themselves are pre-scheduled dates to become a kids vax clinic mingled into the school day. Air heads is not just a candy. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really has become a life-changing pandemic. I’m getting so many emails from people from everywhere in the US about long-COVID. I’m the contact person for my boss who is one of the PIs on the big NIH long covid study, so people trying to reach my boss reach out to me. People are desperate to get the word out about their lingering, and often debilitating, health issues after recovering from COVID. We have a friend who is a doctor and was one of the first in the region to get COVID. She is still not back to work full time. Her life has changed so drastically. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, you and I rarely (if ever) agree in this thread, but your last sentence nails it. Beyond long-covid symptoms/issues there is the ancillary fallout from increased depression, drug use. Not to mention the way the disease has hardened/increased the political divide in our country. It’s a F^$king mess. I’m fine with the new normal for now, b/c I know it’s necessary, but I would prefer for this to be over this time next year. It won’t be, but I would prefer it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question that I would like to see answered is what is different about people who are experiencing that result. I'm 73, had covid three weeks ago, recovered quickly, and am doing everything I did before with no lingering symptoms. Why am I and others like different? If we could answer that question, maybe we could take a more nuanced approach rather than the shotgun, vaccinate everyone approach we've taken. I feel truly sorry for those who have and are suffering from this virus but it seems to me that we are missing something. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud2BAHoosier Posted November 12, 2021 Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 Well, my son's family is just getting over with Covid. My daughter-in-law is a school teacher and was diagnosed with covid a couple of weeks ago. Then my son, my grandson (9 years old), my 4 year old granddaughter and my 1 year old granddaughter also tested positive. Fortunately, they all had minor symptoms. Both my son and daughter-in-law have been fully vaccinated, so it does make you wonder..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel truly sorry for those who have and are suffering from this virus but it seems to me that we are missing something. That’s one of the key questions. Why is it that some people are struggling with ongoing symptoms and others aren’t fazed at all? Can we predict which type of patients might struggle long term? And if so, are there effective treatments for them? Lots more questions than answers at this point, but the more data we can get the better. Glad that you have recovered quickly though! 6 minutes ago, Proud2BAHoosier said: Well, my son's family is just getting over with Covid.

Vaccinated people can still get COVID, they are just more protected against hospitalization and death. My wife and I and most everyone we know have managed to get through this so far w/o getting COVID. And we live in an incredibly dense city, ride the subways and buses, etc. But, I’ve never told myself that the vaccine is a magic bullet for me not getting infected. I go about my life, but I’m also careful. Mask on indoors for shopping, subway, etc. and mostly dine outdoors with some indoor meals in the last few months.

I don't and have never trusted our government. They aren't leaders and none of them understand or care about the constitution or American citizens. These losers fake it to make it. Think about it, billionaires don't run for political office, except one. Smart people stay away from politics, so we end up with the dumbasses that dumbasses vote for. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billingsley99 Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 I got my Pfizer booster shot on Friday. Everything went well but around noon on Saturday I experienced an interesting eye situation. I lost my peripheral vision in my left eye and about half of my vision in that eye. I can't really explain it but I knew it was bad when while driving on the interstate cars in the left lane I could truly only see the top half of the car. It was crazy. I pulled over for 30 minutes and all was good after that. I don't know if booster related, was high blood pressure or what but all is well. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
