True, but the OP mentions the vaccine after telling us about his friend. Most have expressed concern for his friend before discussing the vaccine/virus. It's a sad state of affairs for everyone at this point. Worst part is you can't get away from it, everyone has been directly impacted by the fallout so any discussion will be lively.This thread has been totally hijacked by the conversation that has been taking place in the God knows how many Covid/Vax threads we're up to now.
TB, thoughts and prayers for you, your friend and their family.
I've had it 3 times, 37 Male no underlyingThis is the most important question I have. Why does it impact people so differently? What is it about our genetic makeup that makes some young, healthy people die while sometimes old, sick people are just fine. Is it us individually, or something about strains of the virus? I had it almost a year ago. If I catch it again, will I experience the same mild symptoms or could I die next time? It’s just so unpredictable.

Round 1 sore throat and felt like someone beat my traps and neck with a sledge hammer along with mild stomach issues .
Round 2 Loss of taste and smell zero flu like symptoms. Recovered smell and taste about 2 weeks.
Round 3 didn't know I had it oldest daughter tested positive.
It probably hit my wife the hardest but she was back on her feet in 3 days.
We have been fortunate
I'm curious if this new varient from South Africa will influence non-vaxers to get the shots?This thread has been totally hijacked by the conversation that has been taking place in the God knows how many Covid/Vax threads we're up to now.

Nothing changes my mind on the jab.......besides, they say it appears so far vaccines may be of no use to this variant, and at least 10 mutations of it. I mean think about that, Delta had I believe 2 mutations to the spike protein.....I'm curious if this new varient from South Africa will influence non-vaxers to get the shots?

Sorry for your loss JH. I had an uncle pass from Covid early on. Couldn’t even have a real funeral. Wife had a good friend pass about a month ago. It’s never easy.Vaxed 3 times, kind of wish I'd mixed vaccines now.
Had a life long friend, met him in boot camp, die in September.
41 years of friendship...
Rabid anti-vaxer, threw a fit at me for getting vaxed.
After 14 days in intensive care, I was at his bedside when he passed.
Don't much care what the anti-vaxers say,
I wish he was still with us, so does his wife, son and grandson.
They always say vaccines "may not be effective" but i have not heard "will be of no use". What you seen that specific phrasing?Nothing changes my mind on the jab.......besides, they say it appears so far vaccines may be of no use to this variant, and at least 10 mutations of it. I mean think about that, Delta had I believe 2 mutations to the spike protein.....
I was sitting here looking at how much money I have already lost today, sickening.
I was just thinking how everyone who got vaccinated, may have to go thru it again. I cannot believe we are back in this mess.....could be square 1.
Appreciate you and all the mods.First and foremost, prayers for the family and friends (TB, CM, JH) and apologies if I skipped anyone going through tragedy (I jumped forward a bit.) HoosierDoc has prayers going his way too, as do all our first responders here on INGO who don't have the "Zoom Meeting" option.
I saw the post count on this thread going up, honestly I avoided it for a bit. Not what Mods are supposed to do, but I've been here a while and know how contentious things can get. INGOers have some pretty strong views on things and that is not limited to 2A by any stretch of the imagination.
Thanks for keeping the thread between the ditches.
Sorry about your friend, but did he have any treatment for covid until he was hospitalized?Vaxed 3 times, kind of wish I'd mixed vaccines now.

It is interesting to me to even have this question posed.I'm curious if this new varient from South Africa will influence non-vaxers to get the shots?
Who thought this? Why did they think it?At first it didn't because we all thought COVID would burn out and go away.

Important and urgent aren't the same thing. Unless you plan on going back in time to stop it, I don't think it's all that urgent to determine origin with 100% certainty.
