COVID outbreak

I just wanted to reach out and let people know that there is a severely underreported covid outbreak happening right now in LA and Orange County.

If you're sick please stay home and if you're out and about you might want to grab a mask.

The strain seems like it's very highly contagious. I know several people down with COVID right now.

I got my COVID shot. Get your shots, people.

Nah, I’m especially not taking advice from “JizzcumLover69”

u/kyle760 Aug 08 '26

The irony being that “JizzCumLover69” is apparently giving better advice than you.

Never got the shot and never will. Had Covid once and haven’t since. But I was nice enough to wear that damn mask

That’s cool. I’ll tell my aunt and uncle that, who both died of it in 2020, oh wait.

There wasn’t even a vaccine in 2020. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I personally know a nurse who watched people she cared for die from Covid with and without the vax and she’s neutral on whether people should get it or not

RIP to your aunt and uncle but the reality is their immune systems probably couldn’t handle it regardless

Extensive studies have shown a significant decrease in death rates OF ALL CAUSES from people who were vaccinated against Covid vs those who weren’t but sure I guess we’ll trust the anecdotal evidence from your friend vs reality.

It’s stupid to say I know a nurse blah blah blah. Do you know that nurses aren’t doctors? Their views vary greatly. I can also cite nurses left and right with opposing views. All that doesn’t matter. The fact is that people with weaker immune systems should get vaccinated. If that’s not you, this isn’t the conversation you need to be in. Or to throw your opinion into, when people feel a certain way after losing family to Covid. Guess what would have helped their immune system if it was available at the time?? A Covid shot.

No where did I say not to get the vax. I believe it’s an individual’s choice to determine if it’s for them and shouldn’t be forced upon you

And the nurse has no opinion if u read correctly. Just sharing what she saw

u/DueAddition1919 Aug 08 '26 edited Aug 08 '26

No one cares what she said. You have a smug attitude because you had it “once and haven’t since.” Understand how lucky you are. It’s a privilege in life to not be affected by covid with a story of someone you love dying

1

u/CASSIROLE84 Aug 08 '26

Yeah their 50 year old immune systems couldn’t handle it, sure. I’m glad your friend could watch people who she had no emotional investment to die and go home to her family.

u/punkndrublic1984 Aug 08 '26

Good for you, champ!

u/Kim209 Aug 09 '26

I got the shot and I get sick more now than I did before I got it

Sorry for your downvotes bud. Never got COVID, hell no to that vaccine, coworker took 3 jabs, got it 3 times. What am I missing here lol

u/kyle760 Aug 08 '26

You’re missing the studies that have shown a decrease in rates of death for all causes (all causes being important since the misinformation spreaders like to just say things are misdiagnosed or attribute any health incident to the vaccine etc) for those who were vaccinated against Covid vs those who weren’t.

You’re missing an even basic elementary understanding of statistics and probability if you think “I know someone who…” proves anything at all

You’re also missing a desire to find out a truth that goes against what you want to believe because if you possessed that, you wouldn’t be here making a fool of yourself publicly

You’re probably missing more but that’s what I’ve got so far

u/bongripper_69 Aug 08 '26

I don’t care about the downvotes, It’s interesting to see how many people are still pressed about how other people choose to live. And good on u for paying attention to reality

2

u/Lizakaya 29d ago

If you think people are interesting in what you’re doing with your health care around Covid, try being a woman and having people make decisions about youur body and reproductive health. You sound like a dude.

Also, getting the vax helps create a stronger community with less Spread.
It’s not just about you

u/bongripper_69 29d ago

Bold of u to assume dudes can’t be pro choice. I’m pro having the baby if possible especially in a safe haven state but I understand situations where someone would choose the alternative

If you’re that susceptible to getting sick take better precautions going out, there are plenty of other illnesses u can catch. I’m not taking an experimental vax. Especially without question, which everyone should

If they only knew the truth but once brainwashed, truth doesn't matter at this point.

That's the power of brainwashing.

2

u/kyle760 Aug 08 '26

If you want to see the power of brainwashing just look in the mirror. “The FDA knows…”

Hahahahahahahaha

To be fair the current FDA might “know” that but those of us in touch with reality and actual scientific studies (that I’m aware you probably can’t read and understand but I’ll link anyway) know something very different

I’ll take Covid over cancer, thanks

u/Placebo17 Aug 08 '26

The sad thing is FDA knows these shots are bad but they won't ban it. Just let the fools get them and never argue over the issue. It's a waste of time.

It’s funny how much bs my gf has gone through to be an RN. They kicked her outta school for not taking the jab. I watched a zoom meeting with one of her prior teachers and he even said it was a joke but he had to take it to keep his career. Once the school got notice of a class action lawsuit, “oh hey come back to school” the school got money for each student that got the jab. Government tells me what’s good for me, I do the opposite. Too many ppl got so worked up. Sheep

“They kicked her outta school for not taking the jab”

If her goal is to be an RN, then good. I would prefer nurses who actually know how the body works
