I don't know who saw my post on the thread about personal experience with COVID-19, but in case you haven't, I would caution anyone who thinks they can avoid catching the virus by staying holed up or being a hermit. I got it despite not being within 6 feet of anyone for more than 15 min. and while wearing a KN-95 mask. I didn't interact with anyone aside from paying a cashier. That is horrifying and I hope you're doing ok! I get vaccinated on Friday and I am slightly terrified I will catch it before then or before I develop sufficient antibodies.

Gosh...at least it looks like I have a talent in prodding people to discuss 😌 I should think of making a business out of it 😁 good luck to everyone and please go for vaccination. The more people go the faster we will speak about Greta Thunberg again! Shalom 🙂 Haha yes, well done on your sole contribution to this thread: Uniting everyone in debunking your bullshit 😂😜😘

Got my 1st Moderna. Achy arm couple days. Can’t wait til we don’t have to quarantine 14 days every time we leave settlement for anything. Want to actually go to a store instead of dealing with Amazon food. We do get fresh veges at least and occasionally apples and oranges. No scurvy or rickets yet. 😉

Is there some part of this I am mistaken about? Yes, several things. Where did you read that I felt the conversation was being stifled or that I disagreed with the conversation?? I understand that speech is being categorized as dangerous more and more these days, but I actually believe that most conversations are BETTER and more impactful for all involved when they consist of multiple opinions and (gasp) dissenting views. I think it’s great you’re all sharing your experiences, especially those who have had positive outcomes. I also think it’s a shame that only one side of the conversation is allowed to share without being ridiculed as selfish (when you literally know nothing about them) or ignorant (when you literally know nothing about them). I am not only referring specifically to the people of this forum, I believe it’s very common on the www. Medical shaming people is something i am familiar with and oppose. It’s funny that most people would come right out and say that they agree that someone is a selfish pos for not taking the vaccine, but you are seemingly offended when I say it out-right. Am I wrong? I am not more fearful/concerned about the novel vaccine than the novel virus, again, strange that’s what you read in my post. My choice to not get vaccinated in the near future was one made by me and my doctors. If that changes, I’ll let you know.

I mean, the dude stated his reasons for not getting the vaccine, so I think we know enough to say whether or not we think those reasons are selfish or ignorant. We have opinions also. Anyways, I hear you. Maybe you can come defend my free speech too the next time Corey starts shitting on my dick for mentioning stocks. Good luck with your medical issues that prevent you from getting a covid vaccine.

The more people go the faster we will speak about Greta Thunberg again! Shalom 🙂 Also in the news: Genuinely, nothing personal - I was grimacing earlier how this looked like it was heading towards another nasty welcome for a newbie. I'm glad to read you've laughing about making a business out of it - this would make a great example of how to avoid some legendary PD landmines, and now you're handing it with style! Your handbike is looking fast, well done! Out of curiosity, what kind of test was used to measure your lung capacity? Thanks Lars!!!🙂 and thanks for the handbike compliment, I am trying my best and actually the handbike is mentally helping me a lot 🙂 Oh, apart from the sport certificate check-up I need to take annually, I use a great tool called Airofit to train my lung power and capacity daily. It costs a bit, but it is working out very well for me!

But I mean, the rest will work fine too...peace out mate!

Yo shadow, dis u? 😱 Do not trivialize our power to contribute helpfully to this situation by dismissing negative reactions as knee-jerk fearfulness. There's no good faith comparison between going to the supermarket and traveling across the region for fun. There is also no good faith comparison between a meet-up for coffee and normalizing not caring about people dying of covid. Personally, I dismissed your negative reaction as a mere self righteous opportunity to get to tell yet another person how selfish they are because they don’t align perfectly with your wants and choices. I believe this is the 3-4th person shamed for their choices in a few months and it always seems to be the same people on the attack. Mental health is also important and suicides are high. We are all adults here and I think there is enough information out there where we can make our own life decisions without assuming the worst of everyone.

Dunno about y'all, but I kind of want to hear those (at least) one hundred reasons to not listen to anyone.

Just a reminder, Proboards takes a very strict stance against spreading covid misinformation on its forums. You can talk about your personal decisions but posting or linking to conspiracy theories or anti-vax propaganda is a TOS violation and will be deleted.
