Wuhan Coronavirus / COVID-19 Thread 2: Booster Shot - Resume all Corona sperging here.

This is so sad and desperate.

Speaking of desperate. There's one woman in Ontario who suffered long Covid symptoms and ask for medically assisted death.

Contracting COVID-19 radically changed Tracey Thompson’s life. It’s been more than two years since the initial infection, but her symptoms still dictate her days, leaving her with heavy-weighted fatigue, robbing her of energy and her ability to work.

Thompson, a Toronto resident in her 50s, says the enduring illness and lack of substantive financial support has led her to begin the process of applying for Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD), a procedure that first became legal in Canada in 2016.

“[MAiD] is exclusively a financial consideration,” she told CTV News Toronto.

After 26 months of lost income since the onset of symptoms, no foreseeable ability to work and an absence of support, Thompson said she expects to run out of money in about five months.

“My choices are basically to die slowly and painfully, or quickly. Those are the options that are left,” she said.

In addition to severe fatigue, Thompson lists a number of symptoms she’s developed from long COVID: she can no longer read books or text longer than a Tweet. Her vision usually begins to blur around sunset. It’s difficult for her to digest food. Her taste and smell have been altered. Some days, the oxygen exchange in her lungs is compromised, making it difficult to breathe. Scars mark her heart from the swelling she experienced from myocarditis.

Their argument seems to be that, since both are mild diuretics, they'll dehydrate you and make your blood thicker, which causes blood clots. This is, of course, absolutely retarded. You get more water from a cup of tea than you lose from the diuretic effect.

I sometimes wonder if we'll ever recover from the great medical field brain drain either. The elephant in the room being we have less doctors, nurses, operating hospitals and competent or critical people in the field than ever before, Dipshits seal clapped as the only white coats who were less likely to shill and push something without a second thought contrary to symptoms or issues were dismissed with prejudice.

People cheered to own the chuds now but this is exactly how you get another string of Vioxx and Fen-Phen type oopsies.

I'm amazed so many people got caught up in this when I had such an easy time avoiding it. I contracted covid early and recovered pretty quickly. I made a fake vaccine card by downloading the template from the CDC's website, then I lied to everyone about whether or not I got vaccinated, including my doctor. I only ever had to show my vaccine passport once to get into a comedy club, and all they did was look at a picture of it on my phone.

Here I am, a couple years after the fact, full of natural immunities and avoiding every single social and medical consequence that came with getting vaccinated. If they ramp up the rules again and require boosters, then I'll just lie about that shit too. It's really a lot easier than it should be, and I think anyone that didn't is just making life-changing decisions over corporate approved fear.

Well unfortunately for us Canadian unwilling prisoners; it was something you had to download from the ministry of health so couldn’t fake it. As well as having to scan a QR code. Full 100 percent jackboots up here

We were offering drive-through vaccinations in 7-11 parking lots. They were so fast and loose with jabbing people that it quickly became clear that keeping an accurate record of who-got-what was impossible. The majority of people I know that got the jab didn't even go through their doctor to get it, and most of those that tried were denied because their doctor wouldn't accept legal liability for what would happen.

Remember when they were telling people to get one dose from one brand and one dose from another brand, supposedly to make a stronger immunity somehow?
I thought at the time it would be a great way to make it hard to tell which company to sue if something went wrong. Perhaps that was what they were aiming for.
