Even MAGATS won't; they are anti-vaxers.

(25,111 posts)shithole has said it will go away. Then he said it was a hoax. Then he said that the "heat" would eliminate it. Then he said wearing a mask, social distancing is total crap. Then he said on tape that he knew it was dangerous and would cause deaths. Then he said no didn't say that. Then he said a vaccine will be ready before the election. Then he said it's going away. Then he stopped majority of testing, he also crunch the deaths tally. Then he claimed if you disregard Blue States' deaths it would reduce significantly the death numbers (Blue States are not part of the USA).
Equating lockdown, wearing mask and social distancing to slavery. These people are truly wacked.
Back to the vaccine, nope, I am not going to take it. I'll wait for President Biden and Vice President Harris.

(43,049 posts)how long it would take to manufacture a hundred million doses of anything. Just sterile water seems improbable to me.
And considering no one has finished trials of a vaccine so no one knows what to manufacture, under two months seems like a bit of fairy dust.
I wish Trump and his crew of assholes would just STFU.

My daughter whose husband is in AF says vaccines like that are mandatory.
Police, FBI, CIA all will be told to take it. This rushed pushed vaccine of his.

Trump has long been cozying up to anti-vaxxers
Recommended article, but obviously from my daily paper thats on my kitchen table. Ill be out of the house all day, so anyone whos capable please post the link. Otherwise Ill play catchup hours from now if anyone is interested.
Weve watched him undermine science as potus, but for more than a decade hes spread the debunked word on an autism/vaccination connection and has made common cause with anti-vaccine cranks.
NOW he wants everyone to line up for HIS untested, unready vaccine?

(1,977 posts)So heres the run down.
On Saturday I had some stomach/abdominal pain and chalked it up to maybe gas. Took some tums but that never seemed to help. On Sunday I was still having stomach issues but didnt think anything of it really. Dad came over and we watched the vikings game together (the game didnt help the stomach ha!). Later that evening I started getting bad body aches and started feeling weak, headachey, a little warm with chills and potty trouble to keep it discrete. Went to bed thinking we will see how I feel in the morning. The next day I woke up with terrible abdominal pains and muscle aches and some nausea. Also a little pressure in my chest. And just having that sort of sick out of it feeling. This was going to be my kids first actual day in school. I decided that I was going to go get tested as my wife was backing out of the garage to drive my son to school. We discussed via phone and decided that the kids should not be going to school with me going for a covid test.
So I had been in the guest bedroom isolated for 3 days waiting for my test and felt pretty crummy for the first 2 but other than exhaustion and loss of taste and a general feeling of malaise (from being laid up) I feel fairly ok. I have been eating well and most of the potty issues seemed to have cleared up. So I figured, ok I just had a little bug I am fine. This morning I saw the resukts were back and I was excited to leave my isolation chamber (guest bedroom) only to find out it came back positive. Now I am stuck in my room for another 11 days!
So now I feel pretty ok but still really weak and woozy.
After reading some I was surprised to learn that abdominal pain and body aches are such a big symptom. I hadnt known that.
Anyway it sounds like the vast majority of folks will have a mild case such as me. I am more worried about my Dad. He is 72 and not in bad health but not in great health either.

(31,506 posts)I hadn't heard about any abdominal issues associated with covid, either.

(1,977 posts)My family doesnt need to test yet. They are quarantined for the next two weeks. I am in isolation from them. If they exhibit symptoms they may need to test but since in quarantine they do not need to test right now.
