Del Scorcho Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 I am gutted today. A friend who had been hospitalized with COVID but was sent home with oxygen to recover at home stopped breathing yesterday and passed away. The paramedics couldn't revive him. He had no other health problems, but chose not to be vaccinated. He was 51. This will be my 4th COVID funeral this year. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Del Scorcho Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 thanks for allowing me to vent here a little bit ... in a range of different emotions one thing stands out that I can’t stop thinking about. My friend who passed away yesterday was generous to a fault, and never wanted to be a bother or put people out in any way. I don’t think he had the foresight to realize his choice to not vaccinate lead directly to putting a burden on the hospital staff that treated him, the paramedics that tried to revive him and the hundreds of people connected to him that loved, worried and cared about him. His personal choice became not so personal in the last 10 days of his life. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of our advisors is a "superconnector" and as such he knew 27 people who had passed from COVID by June, though idk if he was particularly close to any of them. We have two friends who lost immediate family members, but fortunately, that's as close to home as the virus has hit. Once again, please accept my condolences. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hang in there and my thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soupslam1 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Anyone got the booster yet? If so, any after effects? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ppl who really didn't feel anything after the second are feeling the effects most of us did on this one. Other than that, pretty similar side effect profile.

She had a strong reaction to the first two so I’m guessing she’ll react strongly to this one too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealthlobo Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 In all actuality, i havent really seen anything that really shows the booster being super necessary unless you are immunocompromised. It won't hurt getting a third shot, but it probably won't be providing any extra protection to most people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I was really hoping the boosters would be tailored to the most common variant. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya they are the exact same thing as the first 2. I feel it's just like getting a tetanus shot early. Won't hurt. Might help, but probably not.

Naggsty Butler Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 The Johnson and Johnson booster increases the effectiveness from mid 60s% to ~94%, so I am definitely planning on getting it when it becomes available.
