They say that if you are vaccinated against Covid, you can still get sick, and it goes without saying, but having less severe symptoms.

The question is that the person I'm talking about has had the disease twice, the first when he wasn't vaccinated, the second these days, after 3 vaccinations. Well, he had the exact same symptoms.

However, I am still convinced that it is still better to get vaccinated!

No, I know him very well; he would not have wanted to have even the first vaccination ? ! He was vaccinated the third time 2 weeks before he got sick, so about 17 or 18 days ago. The first vaccination was about a year ago.

After all, in Israel you are starting to have the 4th dose.

I wear a mask whenever I go out and I get a flu shot every year.
I will add I am in decent shape (my GF may disagree! ) and not in any high risk categories.

My experience, August 2020 no vaccines I got Covid from my son. I woke up 5 days after he had it and I could not smell or taste my morning coffee.
I felt pretty bad for three days. Felt kind of like a mild flu. My breathing was a little labored. After 5 days I felt fine.
Interesting note my daughter did not get Covid then. (We all live in the same house.)

I got my two Pfizer vaccines. The first vaccine I felt fine. The second vaccine I felt worse then when I had Covid for about 5 days.

Then about a month ago, I got a text saying it was 6 months since my two vaccines and I could get the booster.
The next day I woke up and had Covid (Omicron). This time it was from my daughter. She also had both vaccines.
Another interesting note she had a bad headache for 5 days. She never gets headaches.
I tested her and she was positive for Covid. My son had both vaccines and he did not get Covid this time.

*** Edit my brother in law who is overweight but has no other high risk factors had a really tough time with this round of Covid.
He was bed ridden for two weeks. His doctor gave him a z-pack for antibiotics. He was better the next day.
I don't know if the z-pack did anything. He may have just gotten over covid, or covid caused other problems which the z-pack helped alleviate.

I felt worn out, sore throat, very mild fever, and night sweats for about 10 days. It felt more like a bad cold.
Waited the 14 days since I had Covid and got my booster plus a flu shot.
*** Edit - I felt fine after my third booster/flu shot.

That has been my experience with Covid.

As for Shingles, it is not uncommon now for people over 40 in the US to get Shingles even if they were vaccinated when young.
As far as I know, Shingles is just the adult version of what we in the US call Chicken Pox.
*** Edit same brother in law as above got a VERY bad case of shingles three years ago.

A final note, A few years ago I use to travel to India for work once a year.
First time I went I received about 10 shots some combos.
I think I received every vaccine I ever received as a child again.

Second time I went to India I got about 6 more shots.
The only shot I did not get was TB. Not because it is not present in India, but because the US does not vaccinate for it anymore.

IMHO, Covid is going to be like the FLU and they will have a vaccine for a different strain every year. (I hope not, but ...)

Hopefully everyone has a Healthy and Happy 2022!

BEWARE!!!

Version 3.1415926535 IS COMING!

Run to the stores, horde all the toilet paper ??? you can get.

Jokes aside, I deeply feel for everyone that has lost a close one in these two years or got sick of Covid, i am naturally immune to it and I only took 1 vaccine last December because i needed the stupid Certificate (the only post vaccine symptom i had was a sore arm), at that time most people where taking their 3rd dose ?.
During these two years I never got sick / infected, even after most of my co-workers, with whom i work directly, got it once or more times. (only had a work accident where i lost part of a finger and had to go to the Covid fill hospital for surgery)
I do take care to use mask in public places and on the outdoors when there are a lot of people, but that's it.

Just stay safe everyone!

I do not know what to think.

I repeat that a friend, whom I completely trust, got sick twice: same mild symptoms both times (temperature 37, small muscle pains), first time before getting vaccinated and after 3 doses of the vaccine.

I suppose you know that David Sassoli, the Italian president of the European Parliament, is dead. Reporters say he died of "an immune system problem"; the suspicion that this is one of the few deaths due to vaccination is more than legitimate, in my opinion.

However, when in doubt, it is better to get vaccinated.

I am very "sad" for this Covid situation - it is second year - going for third and make me feel very bad...

I can't even "write code" - my mind making circles "if that... so why..." and plus in all that "Hardware get more expensive every day..." + no sales /// because selling hardware is one of my jobs... chips are expensive ...general.... so all people at least here in Greece leave it for next year...
My ideas are frozen - my projects too...

I will make the booster version of vax next days... (3rd) - i want to believe that scientists love the humans :) and don't want to make us robots
Hope you are all safe... double mask / KN95/N95/FPP2 rules to be sure....

Not Covid related but I thought I would pass this along ....

I read a study a few years back that was published by a University in the Netherlands.
In short they found a risk of heat attack was significantly reduced in people who had recieved vaccines for
pneumococcal, shingles, and a yearly flu shot.
They concluded that when you are older the inflamation in the body from having one of the above can elevate your risk of subsequently having a heart attack.
*** I am IT guy not a Doctor, but that conclusion seems reasonable to me.

The morale of the story --- stay healthy.

We all want to be around to see B4X become the most popular programming language in the world! :)

I thought this article was joking, but then I read posts here about all the people who have caught covid recently, and now I'm not so sure. ?
