Here's what I do. I have my kids injected with weakened or dead pathogens. Sometimes I can I can just have them injected with a molecule that looks like a pathogen.

Just how organic we talking here? Like a 7?

Also: these fucking self righteous insider knowing nods are all that kill me now that I’m all vaxxed up.

After enough doses, you build up an immunity. I learned it from the princess Bride.

Or giving them Long Covid at some point. There is a chance of getting it with each new infection, much larger when not vaccinated. And each infection can also shave off a few IQ points.

I have long COVID. It's hell. It's like I've had chronic fatigue and some sort of.neuroloigcal damage for the past two years. But it is ever slowly improving and I'd guess I'm about 80% back to normal. I cannot wait to be back in full swing.

Goddamn, that’s awful, man. I’m sorry to hear it. That shit terrifies me

Been like that myself for 2 years, never tested positive for COVID, but I'm really wondering.

Well I had no symptoms. My partner was super sick and I had them test. Thought I would as well after they were positive, and I was too. I'd been on the mountain snowboarding all day and was all pumped and planning tomorrow, I felt excellent.

It was about a week later, my tinnitus would be incredibly loud at times. Every 30s or so, I'd get this weird palpitation sensation at the back of my skull, coupled with dizziness or pain in the head. Brain started just not working and I'd give up on thoughts. Then the fatigue hit and some days Id sleep up to 14 hrs when I usually sleep 6.5-7.5.

But still, not a single cough, sore throat, nothing. It was all in my skull and I could feel it in there.

Well it's a tiny bit funny in that she's so perplexed by it all. The cognitive dissonance is unreal.

Vaccines or not, kids getting sick all the time is what they do. It's also beneficial in the long run.

Ya, but it stops like at 3 yo.

But you don't want your kids getting one of the diseases you vaccinate for, as they sometimes kill or maim for life.

To be fair, aren't vitamins and soup pretty much the best thing we have for viral infections like the flu and covid? I mean, obviously vaccinating is better, but when you're already sick, you pretty much just need to rest, stay hydrated, get some nutrients and let your immune system deal with it, right?

Generally yes, for a reasonably healthy person and a typical flu for example, that's all anyone would need. The exception is if there's any complications because of the infection and that's just playing the odds. In those cases there are anti-viral drugs and other treatments but they usually come with a long list of side effects. It's usually best to let the body fight the infection itself and just support it. That said, every year tons of healthy people are disabled or die because of very common illnesses so it's not so black and white. Generally speaking, you are correct, but don't let that stop you from seeking care if you think you need it.

I dont agree w her not vaccinating but to a degree its the other way around. Medication introduces a new selection pressure on pathogens thus causing them to become more resistant. As the other person said, rest, hydration and nutrients r all thats needed in most cases, and overactive measures are bad. its good to be cautious but not overly so to the point u take antibiotics for every single infection (unless ur doctors told u to).

These people also sound like the types to get right into other people's faces at the grocery stores to excitedly tell everyone how healthy they are by not getting vacced.

I would think the homeschool and anti-vaccine crowd is more insular in person, maybe I'm just lucky.

Rub some butter on their feet and have them carry a wrinkled potato around with them. Guaranteed to keep the flu away. For a cough, it's potatoes on the feet and butter in the hands.

Don't forget to massage in a nice herb rub at bed time, then wrap them in foil before covering them in the electric blanket for 20 minutes at 350° to really seal in the flavor.

Their immigrant neighbours ate all the unions. Even though the kept them locked up. The onions, not the neighbors.

At least they acknowledge that COVID and the flu are real and not a hoax. That's usually easier to work with.

Hard work and practice, like all things worth doing in life. I find the paperbacks easier to work with myself.
