Okay, so I was exposed with two people who has the virus. I was with these people for 2 days. They were already coughing and not feeling good, (but thought it was just a cold.) one was tested postitive for covid as she got worse and the other one tested positive as well for covid.....so then I had to go get tested. I came back negative and was negative for the antibodies as well. Could my immune system be able to fight the virus without needing the antibodies? If this is the case, and I am sure there's many others out there like me, why in the world would I take the vaccination when my body can already fight it on its own?
Same goes with the flu. I have never got that either....and have never gotten the flu shot to prevent it. In fact, I heard of people becoming very sick after taking the flu shot.
This is where I think your own self should be the one making the decisions of what's best for ourselves. We know ourselves better than anyone else. I become very leery when the government, who knows how to line their own pockets far better than helping its own citizens, tells me what they think is 'best for me.'
Outside of all the good advice you've gotten already, this made me think of ancient times... like during the Black Plague. There were plenty of people who took care of the sick, removed the dead, etc. who never got sick themselves. Whether that was from good genes, good nutrition, good hygiene, or something else I don't know, but there was some outlying reason.
There was i think a (BBC) documentary about an entire English village that the majority lived through the plague and they tested the ancestors and 60% of the village had a gene that prevented viruses from attacking into white cells.
There was a gay man in America as part of the same doc who lost hundred of gay friends to aids in the 80s and never got it himself. He had the same gene. If your ancestors came through the plague theres a chance you have the gene.
I remember learning something in grad school about how the way that our immune system is set up, no single disease could kill the entire population. Thought that was pretty neat.
Yep. What about combining a couple, like they do in Wuhan? Or what Analschwab is preaching.
I have no idea, my comment was the extent of my knowledge on the subject lol
