I'm not getting vaccinated because I think I had "Early Covid", which I define as a case of SARS-CoV-2 before there was a test to diagnose it. Someone on Twitter said the timeline promoted by the media is impossible [2]; Michael Burry (MD in The Big Short [4]) pointed out that December 2019 blood samples with SARS-Cov-2 showed "#containment was never possible" [3].
> For people in our age range this is especially important because the risk of suffering badly from COVID is negligible.
Bad medicine dramatically increases the possibility of dying from a SARS-CoV-2 infection, no matter your age.
Good medicine for bad cases of SARS-CoV-2 is the anti-serotonin drug Cyproheptadine [0], which are useful for pulling people out of their death spirals.
More vulnerable people wouldn't be put into their death spirals if doctors remembered that oxygen in excess is toxic, but we have to work with the doctors we have. "is this pure (toxic) oxygen, or the oxygen with the antidote?" should be asked by all patients who are given oxygen to worsen their body's ability to use oxygen [1].

- ljf 5y agoPlease don't think that because you have had covid once you can't get it again, nor that the 2nd time won't be any worse than the first. That is not the case.
- tim333 5y agoAlthough the immunity from having had covid is about the same as having had a vaccine.
- EMM_386 5y ago> I'm not getting vaccinated because I think I had "Early Covid", which I define as a case of SARS-CoV-2 before there was a test to diagnose it. There is a very high chance you can get Covid-19 again, hence why the vaccines are going to require boosters. If you want a dangerous, man-made virus hanging out repeatedly in your vital organs, that's your choice. I'd much rather prime my immune system to handle it via a vaccine so I don't have to have it in my heart, lungs, kidneys, pancreas, etc. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7239191/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7239191/ https://www.nature.com/articles/s41575-020-00389-y https://www.nature.com/articles/s41575-020-00389-y
