I have confirmed my positive Covid test and checked with latest updated symptoms assuming you were vaccinated – https://covid.joinzoe.com/post/new-top-5-covid-symptoms . I did get the J&J back in May. It would be nice to be able to know what variant I have but that is not available to me.

Overall feels like the flu – I have had worse but still not a good feeling. I started my prescription of HCQ, Ivermectin yesterday along with other things melatonin, vitamin D, black cumin, etc…. I am doing that only because of the risk/reward I perceive and the noted potential benefit of reducing long covid. In fact it kind of felt liberating to take the pills last night – gave me an extra boost to stick it the machine – perhaps a placebo effect. Sunday I had done my usual run,swim,bike routine. Worked all day….then on Monday morning just not feeling right. Took a PCR test on Tues morning – took till Wed night to get result. The worse I feel is in the morning which is strange given past illness I usually feel good in morning and weaken over time.

Anyway I didn’t want to jinx myself but I figure its important to be transparent and let people know I do follow through my research. The suspect of my source is likely my teenage kids you have started enjoying their lives again by going out and inviting friends in – at the same time I was more cavalier given I had my vaccine (less mask wearing)…..

I cant help but lay down outside and read…..then something will upset me and I have to go to computer to validate it…..This paper is making its round with people all over the country commenting – https://www.texastribune.org/2021/07/21/coronavirus-texas-vaccinated-deaths/amp/?__twitter_impression=true

Recall the saying “Lies, damned lies, and statistics” well here is a perfect example.

“Preliminary data shows 99.5% of COVID-related deaths in Texas were among unvaccinated people, according to the Department of State Health Services.”

“Of the 8,787 people who have died in Texas due to COVID-19 since early February, at least 43 were fully vaccinated, the Texas Department of State Health Services said.

That means 99.5% of people who died due to COVID-19 in Texas from Feb. 8 to July 14 were unvaccinated, while 0.5% were the result of “breakthrough infections,” which DSHS defines as people who contracted the virus two weeks after being fully vaccinated.”

Issues:

My data source shows from Feb8 to July 14 total TX death = 13405 vs 8787?

By April 18th TX had only achieve 20% vaccinated per capita. At that time 10273 deaths since Feb 8th. So BEFORE we even get to July we are showing 95% of deaths in an environment when vaccinations have not been adopted much. Would it surprise you if I made the statement 100% of deaths in 2020 from covid came from unvaccinated? This is almost as an egregious statement now. I really have no idea the concept they are trying to spin here. Do they expect people not to check or analyze their work? I am sick but I couldn’t get any rest with these numbers in my head.

Breakthrough is no doubt going to be much higher than they are saying – else countries with high vaccination wouldn’t see the spikes. The best thing to realize getting covid – assuming you recover from it – will be much better for you than getting the vaccine as noted from their study 7X less likely to get covid after a natural recovery vs. vaccine – https://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/309762?fbclid=IwAR10LYZviX9Lpf5MgzP-y6Hit2ZTXM8wrGy4IPc-ikzHfEfSQhgey4V85Ig

I hope they recognize the value of naturally recovering from covid vs. vaccination. At least having recovering from covid equal to the vaccination.

Still waiting to find a study showing the infection rate is materially different from vaccinated vs. unvaccinated – everyone is quick to blame the unvaccinated – https://www.mediaite.com/politics/watch-clearly-frustrated-alabama-gov-says-its-time-to-start-blaming-the-unvaccinated-folks-as-covid-cases-rise-in-her-state/

In Singapore – vaccinated people are making up 75% of covid cases! https://www.euronews.com/2021/07/23/us-health-coronavirus-singapore

I hear and read that people are shock that there are so many in the US not vaccinated – so many? Vaccination rate in US is 48% – 40% of population is 35 and under! I think people are just frustrated and want something to blame. Blame the unvaccinated? You should blame the system for not setting standards/guidelines for ventilation – CO2 ppm – Personally recommend <1000ppm As long as 50+ has the vaccine deaths should be limited. Pushing the youth to vaccinate will not give you much bang for you buck.

Severity of the disease is a function of AGE – there is no significant value to push the 40% of the population to get vaccination -even the breakthrough impacts are a function of age for severity – https://bestlifeonline.com/news-vaccinated-severe-covid/

“according to the CDC’s data, people who experience these severe breakthrough infections tend to have one thing in common: They’re older adults. Fully vaccinated people 65 years and older account for 75 percent of breakthrough COVID cases that lead to hospitalization or death.”

The other excuse I hear the unvaccinated will make the variant – this is yet to be proven – I have looked and looked for this. IF vaccinated people are getting infected which I believe will be growing as indicated in Singapore you cant blame that on the unvaccinated – particularly the unvaccinated youths.

Yikes for Ecuador – les tha 0.04% vaccinated and the lead in deaths!

The good news confirmation waves are with a declining death wave

Same top 3 states

Limited death hot spots still.
