cplnluv1 874 Posted March 9, 2021 Linda and I are now three weeks post our second vaccine and have both tested positive for the antibodies meaning the vaccines are working as planned. We have been talking to a couple we have been with many times that also had the vaccines and we encouraged them to get the antibody test to make sure. With the new CDC guidelines stating friends that are all vaccinated can now get together safely we are planning a little holiday together. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post
MidwestHoneys 359 Posted March 9, 2021 Good for you! We know many who refuse to take it and we are too young to qualify. We are low risk and just wish everyone would just shut up and get the fukin shot. We know friends who had gotten sick and got over it. I call it lucky. I heard younger people have bad side effects from the shot, did you. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post
njbm 2,901 Posted March 9, 2021 Let us know how your experiment works out. I presume that four people who are more than two weeks past their second shot should be ok. You’ll find out! Avoid the variants! Quote Share this post Link to post
cplnluv1 874 Posted March 9, 2021 I don’t think we are experimenting, we are following the science. As per the CDC the risk falls on those that haven’t been vaccinated. Nothing is 100% safe in swinging such as stds or the transference of many other viruses, bacterial diseases and let’s not forget HIV. Possibly we should wear masks for safety? 2 Quote Share this post Link to post

Tens of millions of lucky people in America, including me and about a dozen friends. Quote Share this post Link to post

I was being light about it. If four vaccinated people are playing, it sounds permissible to me. But I am not a virologist. But I am very cautious. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post

Yes, luckier than the over 500,000 who died and the millions of families who are grieving that there is an empty seat at the table, an empty side of a bed, a grandparent’s hug. Luckier than the people who are still living with medical problems caused by a virus we are still learning how it affects the heart, the lungs and your thinking. I’m happy you and your friends recovered and I grieve for the friends we lost. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
HerSweetness 141 Posted March 10, 2021 COVID cured a lot of other diseases. 2 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post
GoldCoCouple 4,068 Posted March 11, 2021 Cancer, heart attacks, and other diseases have almost disappeared since Covid arrived. I guess that means that they're cured as well, especially since almost noone is dying from them anymore. Just check the death certs...covid is no. 1 cause of death. Being serious for a minute here. My father dies last November from cancer. He was diagnosed with it before Covid arrived and lived longer than he was expected to live. Still, the doctors wanted to list Covid as cause of death since when he died he was having difficulty breathing. We had to fight the doctors to get the cause of death as cancer.

Was he positive for covid? Maybe the doctors thought the inability to breathe from covid was the proximate cause. We are sorry for your loss. My wife’s father passed away in December, 2020 and we regret that we did not get to see him much in his last year. Quote Share this post Link to post
