My wife and daughter got sick for 2 days - a weird cold that had different symptoms than any they've had before. Both feeling fine now. I preach at them regularly to take their vitamins - sometimes they do. I suspect they caught it from me - I had enough of a headache one day to need to take a tylenol. Gotta love Zinc, Vit C, Vit D etc.

I got the double Moderna series 1 year ago since I'm a practicing physician and I thought it would really prevent infection/transmission, and I refuse to get any boosters since they're worthless now, so this cold and flu season I've been taking the Vit C/D/Zinc etc. I cared for my omicron stricken husband at Christmas and got nothing. I refused to test him and have him be a data point for the regime. Bedrest, tom yum soup, advil, vitamins, lots of tea. It was over in 4 days. Just a miserable head cold. Let's all get back to treating this as a cold and reopen everything!!! NO MORE MANDATES!!!!

Honest question: both the Pfizer and Moderna inserts stated the shots would reduce symptoms. They never promised to reduce infection or transmission. So why would you think that? Again, not snark. Truly interested.

Honest answer.

Please, stop parroting. And read the f***ing "FDA briefing document" written by Pfizer on Dec. 10th 2020 regarding the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, aka SHIT:

"Efficacy in preventing confirmed COVID-19 occurring at least 7 days after the second dose of vaccine was 95.0%, with 8 COVID-19 cases in the vaccine group and 162 COVID-19 cases in the placebo group".

In the UK it seems the media and government decided the jabs would stop infection and transmission.

In November 2020 when the 6 month studies on both vaccines came out, they did show very high efficacy at preventing infection. Of course there was no time on our side, I work on people's faces and wanted to protect myself going forward. Now it's a very different data world and we have a year of hindsight. https://www.fda.gov/media/144434/download

Tylenol is a powerful liver toxin. It shouldn't even be on the market. You should look for a safer pain reliever. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/labs/pmc/articles/PMC4913076/
