I am vaccinated.

Unvaccinated idiots can still get vaccinated people sick.


But if you are vaccinated why would your first thought be that you caught what you are vaccinated for?

You didn't mention whether you lost your sense of smell.

I lost taste and smell, but it’s only because my nose was congested solid.

I’m feeling slightly better today and taste/smell is mostly back.

Yeah probably too late then. But early on, since it’s a fairly unique symptom, it’s useful to know.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

In California vaccinated people are getting sick I'm giving it to unvaccinated people. That's why they reinstated the mask mandate last week.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

Why the hate? Biden has not taken it seriously. He is letting people die!


Hogwash!

Biden is begging people to get vaccinated.

Unfortunately the close-minded drones are ignoring his pleas.

Die if you want to, I could care less about anti-vaxers dying (their own damned fault: they were warned but chose to disregard the science for political reasons), but for christ's sake don't take the Dow down with you.

My understanding of the rapid PCR tests is opposite. False positives are frequent but false negatives are not. A quick Google search revealed they are 99.5% accurate for ruling out symptomatic COVID
Did it quote what multiplier they were using? I read where the CDC had lowered the multiplier from 35-40 to something much lower which should help get the case rate down substantially.

Added: Get a serum test.

People are dying! He is not doing what he needs to do. Not taking it seriously. He needs to do something about it!

I stand corrected.

She got vaccinated weeks ago. What else was she supposed to do hide under her bed like you do?
How is she doing now? I think the vaccine is doing what it claims now, still people getting sick but not dying from Covid or being hospitalized.

OK, let's shut it all down again: works for me.

Or better yet make it a REQUIREMENT that ALL Americans get vaccinated.

Or how about this: relieve insurance carriers from the obligation to insure / pay for any and all covid-related medical treatment of people who chose not to be vaccinated, make the unvaccinated covid patients pay cash up front or kick them to the curb.
