I never got the vaccine and had mild symptoms as well. I credit that to having a functioning immune system. I got first two shots and a booster. I've had COVID 3 times since then and each time it's been different. I attribute nothing to nothing. Did the vaccines work in the beginning? Quite possible, since I didn't get sick and my first case was negligible; only lost taste/smell, felt fine. The LAST time I got it, around November (after traveling) was awful. ALSO! My family has only gotten the first two vaccines, no boosters. I have had COVID more than any of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The second time I got it I felt tired and run down for about 3 days and that was it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike Honcho 5,095 Posted January 24 Quote Bird Flu Kills 20 Million Chickens in U.S., Driving Egg Prices Sky-High A deadly bird flu outbreak has wreaked havoc on U.S. chicken farms, claiming the lives of over 20 million egg-laying chickens last quarter, marking the worst impact on America's egg supply since the outbreak began in 2022. U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) data shows the staggering toll included chickens culled to contain the virus, too. This, in turn, has contributed to record-high egg prices across all production types, including conventional, cage-free, and certified organic systems, a USDA report published on Jan. 10 shows. The federal government has spent $1.25 billion compensating farmers for chickens lost to bird flu since the outbreak began, aiming to encourage farmers to report infections and help stop the virus from spreading, a news release from CBS News states. I don't see the egg prices lowering anytime soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bird flu already was causing egg prices to spike, and MAGAturds blamed Biden, so I'm going to blame Clownzo for everything moving forward. Dogs and cats also can get bird flu from eating infected dead birds or drinking an infected cow's raw milk. If it can jump from chickens to cows and ducks, it could mutate into being passed between pets and even infect humans. Corona viruses have been around for years as well. Remember SARS and MEARS? COVID eventually became the one to spread like wildfire. And this has come along at a time when Clownzo has shut down communication coming out of health agencies. What a focking disastrous first week of his presidency. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The devastation in the poultry industry alone is proof enough that this disease is a focking problem! Everything I've read say that his shutdown communications is temporary and there are previous administrations who've done this while they get things squared away. According to NPR, CDC is still publishing stats on the respiratory virus status for the season. https://www.npr.org/sections/shots-health-news/2025/01/24/g-s1-44613/cdc-nih-hhs-health-data-mmwr Quote "HHS has issued a pause on mass communications and public appearances that are not directly related to emergencies or critical to preserving health," the statement reads. "This is a short pause to allow the new team to set up a process for review and prioritization. There are exceptions for announcements that HHS divisions believe are mission critical, but they will be made on a case-by-case basis." I don't know the reasons of why he's nominated certain people. Everything I've read on the CDC site today about bird flu says that their concern is low terms of co-infection, or spreading from person to person. They state that it's a possibility it can happen but their concern is low. I agree that the affects on the poultry industry is cause for alarm. 67 people in the US have died from bird flu 2024 to now. The majority older people with underlying health conditions. Again, I am concerned, just not freaking out about it, and I won't be first in line for a new mRNA vaccine this time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
