Haven't been in this thread a while so here's a random update
We've got some Covid cases at my job again (I work in an assisted living home, for any newcomers) both residents and staff, so it seems there's a little bit of a 'wave' on an the moment. But everyone is pretty much vaxxed to the eyeballs so nobody's getting very sick, it's more of a minor annoyance now (x has got covid, so we're gonna have to fix the schedule). Nobody 'died suddenly' from the boosters, and this is in a population of clients that have poor health generally (psychiatric patients) and consequently also not very great immune systems. So take from that what you will.
Hope everyone's healthy

Still haven't caught it although I don't really go out that much anymore other than to eat out or see very few friends/family or go to work. Everytime I felt a tiny bit sick I tested myself for a few consecutive days. I'm sure I'll get it eventually and suffer. Jabbed 4 times plus a flu shot.

Finally caught it about a month ago, before 2020 I would've chalked it up as a cold.

Got COVID in January. Had splitting headaches over last two weeks, which started up at tail end of COVID. They thought I got a sinus infection from COVID and treated me for that, but treatment failed and they sent me to ER for CT scan. Looks like I have a major blood clot in my brain, so have been in hospital last few days. They're blaming COVID for this thing.

If you get through that with just a headache you're damn lucky. Best of luck man, that's about as close as it gets to life altering catastrophe.

Hope it hasn't gone into a full blown stroke. From seeing family members go through strokes over the years strokes suck.

I haven't reaf this page in detail, but they called it this: Transverse cerebral venous thrombosis. And apparently the clot has filled the whole vein, all the round the head, and some vein cluster.

It’s nice that they are finally saying this out loud, but I’m 100 percent certain we’re only hearing them talk about it now because tensions with China are high right now. Doesn’t exactly instill much faith in our institutions when theyll only to speak the truth when it’s convenient.

I am lucky I took an interest in studying history growing up and avoided all the Covid Drama. It just boggled the mind that anybody anywhere in the world could blindly trust a group of pharmaceutical giants with a laundry list of ethics violations and dubious origins. In my humble opinion, what we are seeing today is an amalgamation of Operation Mocking Bird and residual Cold War propaganda tactics that have proliferated into government institutions.
Many Liberals unwittingly supported the destruction of trust in many public institutions by siding with these pharmaceutical and tech giants during the pandemic. Google monopolized the online classroom. Pfizer, AstraZeneca, and Moderna became our public health institutions.

Literally nobody is "blindly trusting" pharmaceuticals... You could maybe say people are blindly trusting the system perhaps

Most people remained resilient, BMJ research suggests, but others say some groups were badly affected.
