Just ask.
Then ask who they voted for.
You'll have an answer good enough for your satisfaction.

Some ppl need to virtue signal so badly they’ll start a new thread in order to use a terrible joke as a vehicle to deliver their virtue signals !

My thoughts exactly. Tempo, “look at me, I need to say I’m a good person.” McLassie, “I donate to people by finding stuff in dumpsters to help the world.”

If you have to say it, it’s fake. I don’t need to virtue signal and need to receive praise for my good deeds.

Here, I’ll try to pick it up a little.

Tempo, I admire you for giving blood. It’s important. I do it every once in a while, but my type is B-, so it isn’t in huge demand.

My son is O-.  The Red Cross knows this. They won’t leave him the fuck alone, lol.

They were calling him twice a day. His phone and our home phone. I finally told them that if they didn’t stop calling, I was filing harassment charges. It was that bad.

He's lucky and probably rarely gets sick.  I have an older sister, late 70's, with O- and she apparently got the Rona in early 2020 but never knew until she gave blood months later.  Zero symptoms and not contagious and never infected her vulnerable husband.

Wow that’s astonishing you’d think everybody that gets it dies according the liberals, MSM, and people on here. Robb is terrified of it, and Tempo will call you racist if you’re white and haven’t gotten the vaccine or booster. Alum will link some stupid pointless article defending the CDC’s ineptitude. “Well it’s not really their fault they don’t know how to count!! It’s more complicated than that. You’re the dumb one that’s gonna die from not listening to someone who doesn’t know how to count! They’re so smart and only trying to help you. I promise. I love them. You should blindly follow them like me because they are good people!” Here, here’s a link to show you it’s true! http://gosuckadickAlumyouCDCapologist.com. Just because you can find a link to an opinion piece of propaganda, doesn’t make it true.

Funny you should mention that.

He doesn’t get sick often, although he came home from college this past Tuesday. By Friday evening, he was feeling like shit. He went to bed early, got up Saturday morning and felt awful. 101.4 fever. I was like, oh great. He picked up the rona.

So, he went Saturday and got tested. Got the results today. Negative for rona, positive for influenza A.

Funny, I’ve never said, oh thank goodness, it’s just the flu. Lol

It’s really sad that trying to be healthy and avoid being sick became so fucking political. But here we are.

Why are these fucking rants necessary? I honestly don’t get it.

Perhaps. But I know people that I would have, at one point, considered stable and smart lose their minds over this shit.

To me it’s simple. You can google until your heart’s content and find something that basically agrees with your preconceived notions.

I’ll go ahead and be vaccinated and be careful when I’m in public. And I’ll trust researchers that are working on this and the data that they generate, and I’ll interpret that data. I won’t depend on someone who has a political agenda to tell me what the science is.

Most of all, I’m tired of all of this political bullshit. I’m pretty much anti politics at this point. They are all awful.

Eh. I’m not going to keep it up. I’ve said how I feel, and I’m not going to argue that point any further.

I will say that, as a volunteer firefighter and emt, I’ve seen what Covid does to people. I know people that have died from Covid. I also know people that have recovered from Covid.

One person in particular, got it, figured it was just a cold, got worse, ignored it, kept getting worse, went to the hospital, went on a ventilator, died in surgery trying to get his vent tube removed.

It’s bad shit. Dying has nothing to do with politics. When you’re dead, that shit doesn’t matter. Covid doesn’t care.

Like Robb on here wishing death upon people, yet talking about how he’s trying to save the world and shit one dumpster at a time. It’s ridiculous. And ThePAMan is just a complete asshole. They say get tough and quit being a whiner. Well here ya go. This is what you get.

I don’t give a fuck if someone has had the vaccination or not, it’s none of my damn business. The ones who say they care about people and don’t want people to die are the hypocrites on here and in the world wishing death upon people. Fucking hypocrites. Mind your fucking business and get a life and stay out of mine and others.
Title: Re: I just gave blood

Eh. Maybe.

I’ll be the first to admit I’ve had some shitty moments on here. But it’s never been about politics.

Being healthy and safe shouldn’t have political overtones. Seems simple to me. I’m not trying to tell anyone what to do, but I will say that the science says things that agenda driven political articles do not. I could come up with any belief and find a number of articles that would support it. Whether it is based on science or not.

Public health, personal health and safety should not be influenced by politics. This is where our society is failing, imo.

Get vaxed or not, mask up or not. Do whatever you want. It’s a free country. I have 3 shots, I put on a mask in public, and I try to avoid situations where the shit spreads. Because I’ve seen what it can do. I’ve seen people sick from this. I’ve known people that have died from it. People that were otherwise healthy. It affects each individual differently. It’s not a belief. It’s a fact.

Just be careful, guys. That’s all I’m saying. Or don’t. Do whatever you want.

Fair enough. Sure, I’ve said some crazy shit on here about wanting people to die or whatever. Perfectly fair to call me a hypocrite.

With that being said, I would never wish Covid on anyone. For real.

And I think that’s the way it should be. It’s too bad all this has been turned political. And it was turned political from the very beginning by the DemocRATS to try and attack Trump. Ever since it’s been a shit show. So much for Biden promising to wipe out COVID if he’s elected. Is he responsible for all the deaths under his watch too? Looks like we’re heading right back to a lockdown in Democratic controlled State’s. Doesn’t appear to have worked in those either any better than people roaming free. But whatever. I guess just blindly follow what you’re told. Questioning anything will get you labeled Q-Anon or a conspiracy theorist. Kinda weird. I had COVID and am just fine. Yet people like Robb wanna wish death upon us. What about all the people getting the vaccine and STILL getting sick?! Shouldn’t the goal be to be ok from it and recover? We did, I did, cool. Yet the most judgmental people are the ones who are making it political.

Thank you, also.
Fortunately I've known very few who contracted Covid, and none were a concern.

I have research to do, but .......
Monoclonal antibodies can be effective. I don't know if this is true or not, but I've read that if someone is admitted they will not be given MAbs. MAbs may be on an outpatient basis only, I don't know.
I do know that I rarely see MAbs promoted in the media, or read about the success rate. Nor do I read about what Mn eligibility requirements are, the procedures if eligible, or the locations of infusion centers.
I'm under the impression that those over 65 or those with co-morbidities should be eligible. After that, it may be state specific.
If I get the Covid, I'm not going anywhere until I call my Doc and infusion centers.
We may all get this possible gain of function lab leak disease sooner or later. It just depends on which variant.

I chose to get the monoclonal antibodies after I contracted it. I guess we’ll see how that works compared to the vaccines. I know people that have gotten their vax and boosters and still gotten it way worse than I did.

Did you request MAbs or did your Doc suggest it ?
Do you know if it's outpatient only ?
From what I've read, the effectiveness may last months longer than the 2 shots. And you've got some t-cell immunity from the Covid.

The public health department spoke with me and told me to reach out to my doctor. They stated I’d be good to get it up to 10 days after being cleared. It was outpatient and took a couple hours. IV is how they administer it. Of course it’s not what the big pharmaceutical companies want, but doctor said there’s evidence out there it can be very beneficial.

Damn.

Seems to me like it’s a hell of a lot easier to just get a shot. But hey, again, not judging.

Reminds me of my wife’s crazy ass cousin. When my wife got breast cancer, before she had her mastectomy, she was trying to tell my wife that she should do some weird herbal shit. Doctors and big pharma and blah blah blah.

Lo and behold she got cervical cancer. Do you think she did the herbal shit? Fuck no. She did exactly what her doctor said.

To this day, every time I see her, I ask her how her herbal remedies are doing. Fucking bitch never answers me.

Dumb.

I haven’t worked in healthcare since 2015. I’ve worked from home for 2 years and probably will until I retire. Nice try though for your “gotcha” moment.

And you trying to use that is ridiculous. Our healthcare workers were praised when all this happened. Now they’re being fired and criticized. Go fuck yourself.

You’re seeing a shortage in those workers, hence the overcrowded hospitals because they’re actually not at full capacity. Much like the police force is going. Why deal with all that criticism for what they have to endure? Due to that, you see increase in crime and skewed data regarding hospitals. Of course they’re full when half the beds are closed off due to understaffing.

You go to Illini games?
