Getting Omicron

[Indeependent]

Is that what your doctor told you or what you interpreted from what you read on the CDC website?

MDs in South Africa and Israel.
Go ahead and ask a stupid question that I won't bother answering.

 

[Slade3200]

If you think you need to talk to a doctor about what to do about paper cuts or colds, you go right ahead. On that note, have YOU talked to a doctor about omi-con? What did he tell you? More vaccines?

I've spoken to doctors and nurses. You haven't. You read internet articles and listen to bias media. That makes me better informed than you. Let me know if you need me to explain anything for you. I'll happily do so.

What do MDs in SA and Israel have to do with anything? I asked if you have spoken to an actual doctor

Sure, tell me if your doctor or nurse explained any reasons why you would be concerned about getting Omicron, above and beyond the typical symptoms that go with a typical cold.

I contracted the Omicron variant, and since then I've suffered from erectile disfunction. It's been a ten year struggle with the virus. Damn you, Omicron.

 

[EvMetro]

I've spoken to doctors and nurses. You haven't.

You don't actually know who I have spoken with, but speaking with doctors is not relevant to this thread anyway. You don't really need a strawman, so here is the opening post for you:

Are there any reasons why you would be concerned about getting Omicron, above and beyond the typical symptoms that go with a typical cold?

I just find it amusing that out of the many medical experts like you and the other Yahoos on this thread none have actually had a conversation with a doctor. I'm not going to try to convince you of anything because nothing I say matters, I'm just an avatar on a message board. Go talk to an expert and seek real answers for yourself.

You are correct, I do not know who you have spoken with which is why I ask. When you avoid answering then it tells me that you have not spoken to a doctor... But please correct me if I am mistaken.

My biggest fear for catching Omnicron would be infecting the many elderly and diabetic people that I encounter on a regular basis, landing them in the hospital or underground. My fear would be infecting my mother or my baby niece and nephew. Those are my biggest fears.

Mostly agree, however early reports suggest that MOST PEOPLE INFECTED WITH OMICRON were vaccinated. This was reported by the CDC and re-reported by many Sources. As predicted by many immunologists, there are two reasons: 1) the vaccination has close to zero protection against the omicron variant because the spike protein on omicron has mutated and does not match the original spike protein the vaccinations were designed for. 2) the vaccination causes a LOWERING of the body's natural immune system (Called VAIDS by some now).

The mainstream news media continues to report misleading and often inaccurate information.

Also keep in mind there are still alpha-beta and delta variants out there. I'm guessing it will be another few months before they are below a significant number.

Wow let's take a look at one of your sources.

I didn't respond to the opening post when I asked about speaking to a doctor. I responded to Mikey boys post. Do a better job following the thread please.

 

[Vrenn]

Toro Actually the same rare individuals who die from Omicron can die from a cold.

Can you die from a common cold?

You’ll catch your death!

I get colds even at 70. Colds are just an incovenience, nothing more. But it's known to me and others like me that Covid is a death sentence.

Thanks for answering the opening post. Although your fears may be based upon ignorance the fear is real. On that note, what do you fear could happen to these loved ones if they got omi-con, and once again, above and beyond the common cold.

Have you ever heard of anybody dying from omicron?

Here is the official usmb omicron death toll thread:

Death toll of Omicron

The msm has presented omicron in a way that has caused stocks and crypto to plunge, and in a way that created a lot of fear. I figured we could have a thread where we track the omicron death toll, since omicron is such a scary thing. Please post all the Omicron deaths here.

The whole problem is, it is still a Covid19 variant. From the beginning we have seen people like myself that had it like a bad flue or some even a mild flue, yet other (even young, seemingly healthy, like my 31 year old next door neighbor) go very critical very fast and there doesn't seem to be much predicting how an individual will react to it. Easy to say "pre-existing conditions", but half the people even on this board under 45 haven't seen a doctor in more than a year and half the people out there in the public don't think or know they have a pre-existing condition.
This Omicron is supposed to be less severe on average, but how would you like to find out you were one of the susceptible ones, when you thought you were one of the people that could beat it hand down, but you found out too late?

So far no one has gotten seriously ill.

Media Source vs Content

I'm seeing a strange fallacy on this site where some members propose a notion that how true an article is, is contingent on the source being a left or right leaning source, rather than the merits of the content. How many of you think it makes sense to dispute an article because of the source...

Ah, if you can't accept your source has a history of lying to you then just deny it and attack the messenger. Sorry, Karen but you aren't the victim on this one.
