Since you brought up this topic VB/windy/hazel I'm curious as to why you're seemingly "ok" with and excited about an antibody infusion, which by the way is NOT FDA approved and only has emergency authorization, but yet you have yourself twisted in knots over the vaccine. Seems odd that you refuse to get the vaccine because of the "potential dangers" but yet you wouldn't have a problem infusing a non-FDA approved chemical treatment into your body instead. You seem confused.

Maybe you are missing the point. Maybe the point is why is the only thing being pushed and mandated the Pfizer vaccine that isn’t working??? Why is only their vaccine authorised and now mandated for teens, next kids, and the boosters. Why is one company’s solution being mandated when it isn’t even working. As vaccinations go up, so do cases. Clearly this isn’t the answer so why aren’t we trying other promising solutions to this problem? Why are we mandating away with only one plan that isn’t working? Doesn’t that scare u? It scares me! This will never end unless our leader mandates exploration of other solutions - other treatments, mandates Pfizer to go back to the drawing board with a safer more effective vaccine or treatment!!!



Studies are being done on treatments for people with covid. I don’t know why you think nothing is being done in that realm. My friend who is an infectious disease scientist is literally working on a clinical trial looking at 3 different outpatient treatments.

Also - vaccines are working. Your risk of getting covid is much lower if you’ve been vaccinated. Areas with high vaccination rates have less cases and far fewer hospitalizations and deaths.



Exactly. And I am so SO sick of people saying vaccines aren't working. Yes, they are.

Anecdotal but I caught Covid because I was around unvaccinated, unmasked people (and I do know 100% that this is true. This is why masks, at the very least, do matter for anyone who thinks otherwise. I am fully vaccinated and was wearing a mask, and I was stuck in a bad situation. So I'm also sick of the "why do you care if you're protected" argument. Because it does still affect other people.) I then had nine people who were considered close contacts. ALL were fully vaccinated (some as far back as -- gasp -- January/February). NOT ONE caught Covid. NOT. ONE. That includes my spouse. My doctor told me it's because if you're vaccinated, it seems that while you might carry the same viral load, you are still less infectious.

Are the vaccines 100% effective? No. They never said they were. Was my case minor? Yes, it was. That was what was promised. Do I feel incredibly lucky? I absolutely do. I will also get a booster/third shot when I'm eligible like my parents already have.

I am not interested in an argument. I just needed to get this off my chest.



So you got sick vaccinated AND wearing a mask at all times around people?

You only know vaccinated people that have not had Covid, no unvaccinated?



This will be the only time I reply to you just to say -- I love that THIS is what you took from all that I said.

Yes. I was masked and vaccinated. And I caught it because I was around NUMEROUS PEOPLE who were NOT. But definitely ignore that. Also ignore that all of the vaccinated people I saw in the most contagious period did not catch it.




I mean this is rich Chat Icon You are vaccinated and were masked and STILL got COVID but you are blaming the unmasked and unvaccinated??? Are you for real right now?? TF...make it make sense. Chat Icon

Also a bunch of vaccinated have not gotten COVID and a bunch of vaxxed have so your argument is futile. These are FACTS..

This is the reason many people have pushed back on the vaccine...OPEN YOUR EYESChat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon



I’m unvaccinated and don’t wear a mask. Haven’t caught Covid….I’m starting to think I should be scared of all these vaccinated mask wearers with all this backwards thinking going on in the world today Chat Icon


The funny thing is….contact tracing seems to stop once it hits an unvaccinated person. It’s like they HAVE to pin it on us every single time.

Why is NY not pushing this for people without covid? I am hearing it works wonders for people WITH covid (know someone who just did it who had covid) but in FL you can get it without having covid.

We are pushing the vaccine here more than we are pushing this treatment it seems.



That's not true. You have to be sick to receive the treatment, even in FL.

Antibody treatment


More than a dozen state-run centers have opened across Florida offering free monoclonal antibody treatment to people sick with COVID-19 and considered to be high risk for severe illness or death.

Often, people who visit these centers feel really sick. The therapy given to them — REGEN-COV by the biotechnology company Regeneron — is designed to give the immune system an extra boost to help combat the disease, enough to hopefully keep them out of the hospital.
----------------
The treatment is for people 12 and older, regardless of vaccination status, who have tested positive and are considered to be “high risk” for severe COVID illness, including hospitalization and death. High-risk people 12 and older who were exposed to COVID and are either not fully vaccinated or have an immunocompromised condition that has lowered their immune response to the vaccine are also eligible.

Some of the conditions the FDA considers to be high risk include diabetes, obesity, chronic lung disease (including moderate to severe asthma), and cardiovascular disease (including congenital heart disease) or hypertension.



Not true I was just talking to my gf in FL this morning and she got it and has not had covid and is not high risk.



Then she lied to get it or is lying to you. The requirements for receiving the treatment are you're positive for COVID and high risk. Ask any doctor and read any article on the treatment being given in FL. You're spreading misinformation. Period.

ETA - When I had COVID I spoke with my dr about the treatment. Antibodies are NOT be given to anyone who isn't currently sick with COVID or high risk. It's not a preventive drug, it's a treatment to help those already sick and at risk for hospitalization.

You still have yet to address the fact that you said that you had to HAVE COVID AND BE HIGH RISK to qualify for the treatment when you have seen that what you posted is absolutely false.

Initially, you had to have COVID in order to revive the antibody infusion. Being in contact with someone who was sick wasn't enough of a reason. And even still, many doctors will not give the infusion without a positive COVID test.

MANY doctors, I am sure. NOT.ALL. They are pushing this down south so I can easily see them bending the rules. I know my experience doesn't count on here but they run commercials constantly for this treatment down there, like they do with the vaccine up here.

You have to be high risk with EXPOSURE OR have covid in Florida and many other states. You are giving misinformation when you are saying they won't give it for exposure. They will, if you are high risk. I don't care what the rules were initially, you just posted this a couple of days ago. You bashed WW because she said her friend was able to get it after being exposed. Honestly, you just can not admit that what you wrote was wrong. It doesn't matter if it was right in May when you had covid, it was wrong when you wrote it and you know it but just can't bring yourself to admit it!!!!

First, windy explicitly said that they were giving it to ANYONE and EVERYONE in FL regardless which isn't true. You still have to fall into the high risk category, whether exposed or sick. But "she knows a person".

Second, I didn't have COVID in May.

Lastly, what I said was NOT misinformation. As I've stated repeatedly, many doctors will STILL NOT give you the infusion simply for exposure even if they *technically* can. They reserve the treatment for people who actually test positive and subsequently become very ill.

Some of the conditions the FDA considers to be high risk include diabetes, obesity, chronic lung disease (including moderate to severe asthma), and cardiovascular disease (including congenital heart disease) or hypertension.



Not true I was just talking to my gf in FL this morning and she got it and has not had covid and is not high risk.



Then she lied to get it or is lying to you. The requirements for receiving the treatment are you're positive for COVID and high risk. Ask any doctor and read any article on the treatment being given in FL. You're spreading misinformation. Period.

ETA - When I had COVID I spoke with my dr about the treatment. Antibodies are NOT be given to anyone who isn't currently sick with COVID or high risk. It's not a preventive drug, it's a treatment to help those already sick and at risk for hospitalization.

You still have yet to address the fact that you said that you had to HAVE COVID AND BE HIGH RISK to qualify for the treatment when you have seen that what you posted is absolutely false.




You have to be high risk, even in FL. Links were provided.

Initially, you had to have COVID in order to revive the antibody infusion. Being in contact with someone who was sick wasn't enough of a reason. And even still, many doctors will not give the infusion without a positive COVID test.






You have to be high risk with EXPOSURE OR have covid in Florida and many other states. You are giving misinformation when you are saying they won't give it for exposure. They will, if you are high risk. I don't care what the rules were initially, you just posted this a couple of days ago. You bashed WW because she said her friend was able to get it after being exposed. Honestly, you just can not admit that what you wrote was wrong. It doesn't matter if it was right in May when you had covid, it was wrong when you wrote it and you know it but just can't bring yourself to admit it!!!!




She doesn't even know if she even HAD covid. She just ASSUMED she did. No need to get a test, don't you know? Chat Icon

Why is NY not pushing this for people without covid? I am hearing it works wonders for people WITH covid (know someone who just did it who had covid) but in FL you can get it without having covid.

We are pushing the vaccine here more than we are pushing this treatment it seems.



That's not true. You have to be sick to receive the treatment, even in FL.

Antibody treatment


More than a dozen state-run centers have opened across Florida offering free monoclonal antibody treatment to people sick with COVID-19 and considered to be high risk for severe illness or death.

Often, people who visit these centers feel really sick. The therapy given to them — REGEN-COV by the biotechnology company Regeneron — is designed to give the immune system an extra boost to help combat the disease, enough to hopefully keep them out of the hospital.

Second, I didn't have COVID in May.

Lastly, what I said was NOT misinformation. As I've stated repeatedly, many doctors will STILL NOT give you the infusion simply for exposure even if they *technically* can. They reserve the treatment for people who actually test positive and subsequently become very ill.




How many doctors have you gone to this for and in how many states to be able to state this information?

Furthermore, you do understand that NOBODY requires you to test, right? As per the DOCTOR (who I called to ask if we should all be tested), when someone in your house is positive and family members immediately get sick (or not) there is NO reason to test everyone since the protocol for all is the same. Quarantine and rest, hospital if symptoms worsen.

Again, you don't ever know what you're talking about.

GTFOH with all your nonsense on these boards. You are so unbelievably dense and clueless that's it's beyond painful to even read your replies. You're Covid, vaccine and mask stupid.

Furthermore, you do understand that NOBODY requires you to test, right?

Misinformation. You can lose taste and smell with coronavirus, not just covid.

Why not get tested to be 100% sure?

Still another case of someone who (claims) they were masked all the time and still got sick so the mask was not working.

Since you brought up this topic VB/windy/hazel I'm curious as to why you're seemingly "ok" with and excited about an antibody infusion, which by the way is NOT FDA approved and only has emergency authorization, but yet you have yourself twisted in knots over the vaccine. Seems odd that you refuse to get the vaccine because of the "potential dangers" but yet you wouldn't have a problem infusing a non-FDA approved chemical treatment into your body instead. You seem confused.

Maybe you are missing the point. Maybe the point is why is the only thing being pushed and mandated the Pfizer vaccine that isn’t working??? Why is only their vaccine authorised and now mandated for teens, next kids, and the boosters. Why is one company’s solution being mandated when it isn’t even working. As vaccinations go up, so do cases. Clearly this isn’t the answer so why aren’t we trying other promising solutions to this problem? Why are we mandating away with only one plan that isn’t working? Doesn’t that scare u? It scares me! This will never end unless our leader mandates exploration of other solutions - other treatments, mandates Pfizer to go back to the drawing board with a safer more effective vaccine or treatment!!!



Studies are being done on treatments for people with covid. I don’t know why you think nothing is being done in that realm. My friend who is an infectious disease scientist is literally working on a clinical trial looking at 3 different outpatient treatments.

Also - vaccines are working. Your risk of getting covid is much lower if you’ve been vaccinated. Areas with high vaccination rates have less cases and far fewer hospitalizations and deaths.



Exactly. And I am so SO sick of people saying vaccines aren't working. Yes, they are.

Anecdotal but I caught Covid because I was around unvaccinated, unmasked people (and I do know 100% that this is true. This is why masks, at the very least, do matter for anyone who thinks otherwise. I am fully vaccinated and was wearing a mask, and I was stuck in a bad situation. So I'm also sick of the "why do you care if you're protected" argument. Because it does still affect other people.) I then had nine people who were considered close contacts. ALL were fully vaccinated (some as far back as -- gasp -- January/February). NOT ONE caught Covid. NOT. ONE. That includes my spouse. My doctor told me it's because if you're vaccinated, it seems that while you might carry the same viral load, you are still less infectious.

Are the vaccines 100% effective? No. They never said they were. Was my case minor? Yes, it was. That was what was promised. Do I feel incredibly lucky? I absolutely do. I will also get a booster/third shot when I'm eligible like my parents already have.

I am not interested in an argument. I just needed to get this off my chest.



So you got sick vaccinated AND wearing a mask at all times around people?

You only know vaccinated people that have not had Covid, no unvaccinated?



This will be the only time I reply to you just to say -- I love that THIS is what you took from all that I said.

Yes. I was masked and vaccinated. And I caught it because I was around NUMEROUS PEOPLE who were NOT. But definitely ignore that. Also ignore that all of the vaccinated people I saw in the most contagious period did not catch it.




I mean this is rich Chat Icon You are vaccinated and were masked and STILL got COVID but you are blaming the unmasked and unvaccinated??? Are you for real right now?? TF...make it make sense. Chat Icon

Also a bunch of vaccinated have not gotten COVID and a bunch of vaxxed have so your argument is futile. These are FACTS..

This is the reason many people have pushed back on the vaccine...OPEN YOUR EYESChat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon



Another one not worth arguing with. I 100% know I was infected simply because I was with unmasked, unvaxed people. I did NOT infect the 9 fully vaxed people I then saw because I was less infectious. It would make sense if you, in fact, would open your eyes. But I'm not holding my breath. The vaccination was never a guarantee to not get sick. But thanks for the advice AND the tone. I forgot you're an expert. Done engaging here, too. Oh, and I'm feeling fine. Thanks for the concern. Chat Icon



So basically you're saying that vaccines and masks don't prevent you from getting COVID? So what's the point??

If you were vaccinated and masked it shouldn't matter if someone who was COVID positive licked you..you should have been protected according to your vaccination and mask yet you weren't so therefore your vax and mask did NOTHING to prevent you from getting COVID. I mean if that's not ironic I don't know what is.

And sorry but YES absolutely the vaxx was rolled out with the expectation that it would decrease transmission of the virus and help end this pandemic and that has proven FALSE. Do you not see why people are skeptical?

Listen I'm glad you're fine I truly am, regardless of viewpoint I don't wish anyone ill health or death but I do wish people would use a little common sense and be less ignorant when it comes to this vaccine.

It's more important to me to find the truth then to be right...it seems like many people would just rather blind themselves to the truth and continue to justify blaming others so they can defend a vaccine that doesn't work for a pandemic that seems to never end no matter what we do.

Chat Icon



Her story makes no sense at all honestly. Thinking she has underlying issues she is not speaking of that lowers her immune system and just wants to blame the unvaccinated. People in the same house don’t always get sick at the same time so the argument that the vaccinated she was with didn’t get it doesn’t make a difference.
She came on her to blame the unvaccinated with no back up of her story.



I know I should be finished with this ridiculousness but for the last time (and then I really am done) :

First of all, I didn't come on here to "blame" anyone but nice way to twist my words. I told what happened factually. Oh well if you don't like the facts.

It "makes no sense at all" to you because you don't want to believe that the unvaccinated are spreading Covid. You've made that abundantly clear. It doesn't matter if it's true or not. You refuse to believe it.

And nope -- zero underlying conditions, but thanks for your genuine concern (that I'm withholding private medical information.) My vaccine was effective. It kept me from getting seriously ill and prevented me from spreading it further.

And say all you want about my wearing a mask but -- as we've been told MANY times -- my mask protects you, and yours protects me. A masked person surrounded by MANY unvaccinated, unmasked people has a drastically higher chance of contracting covid.

You will continue to argue and not believe anything I say.It's a good thing facts don't care about your opinions.

Why is NY not pushing this for people without covid? I am hearing it works wonders for people WITH covid (know someone who just did it who had covid) but in FL you can get it without having covid.

We are pushing the vaccine here more than we are pushing this treatment it seems.



That's not true. You have to be sick to receive the treatment, even in FL.

Antibody treatment


More than a dozen state-run centers have opened across Florida offering free monoclonal antibody treatment to people sick with COVID-19 and considered to be high risk for severe illness or death.

Often, people who visit these centers feel really sick. The therapy given to them — REGEN-COV by the biotechnology company Regeneron — is designed to give the immune system an extra boost to help combat the disease, enough to hopefully keep them out of the hospital.
----------------
The treatment is for people 12 and older, regardless of vaccination status, who have tested positive and are considered to be “high risk” for severe COVID illness, including hospitalization and death. High-risk people 12 and older who were exposed to COVID and are either not fully vaccinated or have an immunocompromised condition that has lowered their immune response to the vaccine are also eligible.

Some of the conditions the FDA considers to be high risk include diabetes, obesity, chronic lung disease (including moderate to severe asthma), and cardiovascular disease (including congenital heart disease) or hypertension.



Not true I was just talking to my gf in FL this morning and she got it and has not had covid and is not high risk.



Then she lied to get it or is lying to you. The requirements for receiving the treatment are you're positive for COVID and high risk. Ask any doctor and read any article on the treatment being given in FL. You're spreading misinformation. Period.

ETA - When I had COVID I spoke with my dr about the treatment. Antibodies are NOT be given to anyone who isn't currently sick with COVID or high risk. It's not a preventive drug, it's a treatment to help those already sick and at risk for hospitalization.

Thanks for weighing in, Chat Icon, but my loss of taste and smell as well as my DH's and DD's followed the onset, progression and recovery patterns consistent with COVID - 19 and not some random virus. Perhaps you and windy should stop trying to diagnose people, all of us have REAL doctors we see for that.

-------------------------

While on its face, COVID-19-related smell loss and smell loss due to other viral infections may look the same, they are different.

Tajudeen explains that instead of attacking the olfactory sensory neurons, COVID-19 affects the neurons’ supporting cells. You obviously can’t see this happening, so the telltale sign is when the smell loss occurs.

With most viral infections, smell loss will occur after the other viral symptoms — the nasal congestion and runny nose — have come and gone. With COVID-19, smell loss one of the first signs of infection.

“Smell loss is actually an early sign of COVID-19 and usually occurs for those who have a mild form of the virus,” says Tajudeen. “Patients with smell loss are normally at home recovering and not admitted into the hospital or on a ventilator.”

If your first symptom is smell loss, that is a good indicator to get tested and quarantine.

Another major difference is the length of smell recovery. With other viruses, recovery could take months and sometimes even years. Smell recovery for COVID-19 patient usually takes about four weeks. Tajudeen suggests that this could be because COVID-19 affects supporting cells, which regenerate faster than olfactory sensory neurons.

Are the vaccines 100% effective? No. They never said they were. Was my case minor? Yes, it was. That was what was promised. Do I feel incredibly lucky? I absolutely do. I will also get a booster/third shot when I'm eligible like my parents already have.

I am not interested in an argument. I just needed to get this off my chest.



So you got sick vaccinated AND wearing a mask at all times around people?

You only know vaccinated people that have not had Covid, no unvaccinated?



This will be the only time I reply to you just to say -- I love that THIS is what you took from all that I said.

Yes. I was masked and vaccinated. And I caught it because I was around NUMEROUS PEOPLE who were NOT. But definitely ignore that. Also ignore that all of the vaccinated people I saw in the most contagious period did not catch it.




I mean this is rich Chat Icon You are vaccinated and were masked and STILL got COVID but you are blaming the unmasked and unvaccinated??? Are you for real right now?? TF...make it make sense. Chat Icon

Also a bunch of vaccinated have not gotten COVID and a bunch of vaxxed have so your argument is futile. These are FACTS..

This is the reason many people have pushed back on the vaccine...OPEN YOUR EYESChat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon



Another one not worth arguing with. I 100% know I was infected simply because I was with unmasked, unvaxed people. I did NOT infect the 9 fully vaxed people I then saw because I was less infectious. It would make sense if you, in fact, would open your eyes. But I'm not holding my breath. The vaccination was never a guarantee to not get sick. But thanks for the advice AND the tone. I forgot you're an expert. Done engaging here, too. Oh, and I'm feeling fine. Thanks for the concern. Chat Icon



So basically you're saying that vaccines and masks don't prevent you from getting COVID? So what's the point??

If you were vaccinated and masked it shouldn't matter if someone who was COVID positive licked you..you should have been protected according to your vaccination and mask yet you weren't so therefore your vax and mask did NOTHING to prevent you from getting COVID. I mean if that's not ironic I don't know what is.

And sorry but YES absolutely the vaxx was rolled out with the expectation that it would decrease transmission of the virus and help end this pandemic and that has proven FALSE. Do you not see why people are skeptical?

Listen I'm glad you're fine I truly am, regardless of viewpoint I don't wish anyone ill health or death but I do wish people would use a little common sense and be less ignorant when it comes to this vaccine.

It's more important to me to find the truth then to be right...it seems like many people would just rather blind themselves to the truth and continue to justify blaming others so they can defend a vaccine that doesn't work for a pandemic that seems to never end no matter what we do.

Her story makes no sense at all honestly. Thinking she has underlying issues she is not speaking of that lowers her immune system and just wants to blame the unvaccinated. People in the same house don’t always get sick at the same time so the argument that the vaccinated she was with didn’t get it doesn’t make a difference.
She came on her to blame the unvaccinated with no back up of her story.



I know I should be finished with this ridiculousness but for the last time (and then I really am done) :

First of all, I didn't come on here to "blame" anyone but nice way to twist my words. I told what happened factually. Oh well if you don't like the facts.

It "makes no sense at all" to you because you don't want to believe that the unvaccinated are spreading Covid. You've made that abundantly clear. It doesn't matter if it's true or not. You refuse to believe it.

And nope -- zero underlying conditions, but thanks for your genuine concern (that I'm withholding private medical information.) My vaccine was effective. It kept me from getting seriously ill and prevented me from spreading it further.

And say all you want about my wearing a mask but -- as we've been told MANY times -- my mask protects you, and yours protects me. A masked person surrounded by MANY unvaccinated, unmasked people has a drastically higher chance of contracting covid.

You will continue to argue and not believe anything I say.It's a good thing facts don't care about your opinions.




You must be very special then that it went right through your mask and infected you.

I am surprised that you would even be around so many unvaccinated people. Do you go around asking people if they are vaccinated or unvaccinated?
