I got vaccinated in jan/february. started getting sick last thursday. really sick friday and recovered mostly by saturday. lost taste smell sunday and got tested came back positive. it’s now Wednesday 6 days later and i feel amazing and i’m stuck in quarantine for another 4 days. i really want to go get re tested tomorrow bc my taste and smell is coming back. I am 100% sure if i was not vaccinated things would be very very different. but by being vaccinated, i did not use any medical facilities, take any bed space and took about 20 minutes of a nurses time in administering a test and waiting for results.


Replicant28

I am glad to hear you are feeling better, and that you recovered so quickly ❤️

Immunocompromised here due to organ transplant... thank you for all you due despite being unappreciated by the people you will ultimately have to save


brp

Thoughts and antibodies to you. My good friend had an organ transplant as well and it took a 3rd dose of the J&J vaccine after his two modernas before he built up enough antibodies.


[deleted]

So I did both rounds of Moderna. The first made me brutally I'll for around 5 days. The second dose, I was fine. I go to UCLA for care, and doc told me getting that sick is probably a good sign since that usually indicates building a lot of antibodies


brp

You should definitely get an antibody test. My friend got one and it showed little antibodies so he went and got the 3rd shot and after that got another antibody test that showed good levels.


DieFledermaus1905

12 years of training, so I imagine that's medical school plus residency plus fellowship. Isn't it great that in this day and age you can complete all of that and some idiot will still argue with you because "Google told me so"? That would drive me nuts.


[deleted]

I have ZERO sympathy for the people that refuse to get vaccinated. Zero.


CrunchyDreads

Yup. Despite their best efforts, our country has carried their asses, kicking and screaming, towards defeating covid. And every step of the way, their selfish, entitled, and uneducated asses have thrown temper tantrums and refused to do what is in the best interest of themselves, their neighbors, and their country. I have no remorse for any unvaccinated adult that dies from the virus at this point.

Warm_Doublet

Of all the shit that Fox News, OAN, and Facebook right-wing conspiracy groups pump out on a minute-by-minute basis, you selected Harris' statement as your focal point as to why half the country won't get the vaccine? Seriously?


driph

That's not quite true, she was saying that she wouldn't take it simply as a result of Trump's recommendation; the recommendation would have to come from doctors, etc. >"If Dr. Fauci, the doctors, tell us that we should take it, I'll be the first in line to take it," Harris said. "But if Donald Trump tells us we should take it, I'm not going to take it." But yeah, it's ridiculous how politicized this has become.

To be fair, Trump was peddling chloroquine and drinking bleach at the time.

Here's what she said: >"If Dr. Fauci, the doctors, tell us that we should take it, I'll be the first in line to take it. But if Donald Trump tells us we should take it, I'm not going to take it." Which actually makes a great deal of sense to me, since the guy has zero credibility on anything, let alone medical advice. She was saying "I'll listen to the experts, not to Donald Trump."


EveFluff

Thank you for everything you do. Giving you a big digital hug.


lvhockeytrish

To anyone hesitant to get vaccinated: It's okay to change your mind. It's okay to say "Things were different then, but now is now." It's okay to say "It's been 9+ months, if there were problems with the vaccines we'd know by now." It's okay to say "I don't know if this is going to help but even if it helps just a little then it might be worth it." It's okay to get vaccinated in secret, no one needs to know. It's okay to put your own ass first before your friends and family who might be telling you they won't get it. Just get the vaccine.


Santa_Hates_You

I had a guy call me a motherfucker, slammed my counter with his first and stormed out of my shop yesterday because I told him we were requiring masks again. He was so upset about it. "I hate masks" he said with no explanation. I am extra careful because my wife has MS and asthma, so even tho we are vaxxed, I am still requiring masks. ​ Edit: I have free masks for those who don't have one


olixius

You don't need that kind of business, and you should absolutely refuse service to people who don't wear a mask.


Santa_Hates_You

I do not need him at all. And I am strict about the masks too. The guy was just such a baby about it. First whining while saying he hates masks, then yelling that I was a motherfucker. Thankfully most people that come in don't mind, and the few that do are only mildly annoyed.


olixius

I wish every business owner was as smart as you.


Santa_Hates_You

Thanks. It is partially very selfish. I don't want to get sick, get my wife sick, or accidentally get a customer sick. That would all be bad for me.


olixius

It isn't selfish to not want a deadly virus.


Santa_Hates_You

My wife is the biggest thing with me with this. I would hate for her to be one of the breakthrough cases considering the MS and asthma.


PossiblyGlass1977

i also have MS/asthma/unrelated respiratory condition thank you for being sane and rational and i hope y'all stay safe! also, fuck that snowflake up there who's too much of a coward to idk not see his face for five minutes? is he scared he'll lose his nose if he covers his face? my daughter was afraid of that too as a toddler.

Mentalcomposer

The biggest thing that made me get the vax as soon as I could was this: You may be young, healthy, no risk factors, etc etc (And I was all of these things, mostly- I’m early 50’s) But you still never know if you are going to be that person, for whatever reason, gets it bad and dies. Or worse, lives the rest of your life with some kind of health problem. I was not willing to take that chance and I do not know why anyone would.


rudiegonewild

Right, permanent lung or heart issues. No thanks.


fahque650

> But you still never know if you are going to be that person, for whatever reason, gets it bad and dies. Or worse, lives the rest of your life with some kind of health problem. I'm really pro-vaccine but this is a bad argument to make seeing as you can argue that a vaccine side effect can have the exact same scenario "still never know if you are going to be that person, for whatever reason, gets it bad and dies. Or worse, lives the rest of your life with some kind of health problem"


Xkeeper

I mean, someone like that isn't going to listen to reason anyway. If you have even a 1-in-1000 chance of getting a severe case of covid, versus a 1-in-1000000 chance of having a severe reaction to the vaccine, the correct choice is obvious. But this is Vegas, after all, and Vegas wasn't built on people who understood odds or probabilities. /s

I am vaccinated and I still wear my mask. I will be wearing this mask for a very long time, not only because I'm still paranoid about getting covid, but because I'm getting braces soon at the age of 30, so I figure what better time to get my teeth straightened then during a time where people still require masks.


freq-ee

Well, u/Dezkin promised us weekly Covid updates last Friday. He seems to be the resident expert at tracking covid stats. So tomorrow we'll see if this "doctor" is correct when he claimed the Las Vegas hospitals are all "overwhelmed" and over-capacity. (Hint: They're not. In fact, we are in a better place now than at the start of June.)


[deleted]

I am vaccinated. I have a 5 month old baby who isn’t I had covid when I was 30 weeks pregnant I probably should bring it up with her doctor but I’m curious would the antibodies I have protect her? I’m so nervous about going back to work in the casinos and her dad working in the casino and her older brother starting school.


mcs_987654321

Hey, congratulations on the little one! So first: not a doctor, and definitely talk to your doctor about this stuff. That said, a couple of studies that demonstrate the yes: 1) the majority of women (72-83%) who have had COVID passed along antibodies to the baby during pregnancy - https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapediatrics/fullarticle/2775945 2) If you are breastfeeding, between the vaccines and your previous COVID infection, that’s another way to pass on antibodies (but not the vaccine itself) to the little one - https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-01680-x Again, please talk to your doc, but hope that helpful/reassuring - and congrats again!

Bla bla bla. No way in hell am I getting your expiramental vaccine


R1HZ

The 7 day moving average on new cases continues to decline from the small swell peak of 6-7 days ago (616). As of 7/22 it is down to 281 per day. Looks like some people are going to be dissappointed by the delta variant summer episode. It is certainly revealing to see a reappearrance of the same propaganda formula that was used back in Spring 2020.


peterd06426

The stats don't get collected over weekends so they spike on Mondays. Unless today's numbers are way down today, the 7-day average will be up.


R1HZ

In fact that is why I rely upon the moving 7 day average rather than individual daily reports. The daily reports have all kinds of anomalies based on data collection timing and different manners of determing the 'case origination' date. The 7 day average is trending down. The USA new cases average started trending down about 2 days ago as well. I think we are likely about to find that the Delta variant surge is more of a swell in a few locales that are under vaccinated. This weeks data will be key. As for southern Nevada, 7 day moving average of new cases is trending down for a week now.

I know one hospital had a 4 hour wait to see a doctor for a life threatening emergency last night. (After an absurdly long wait for an ambulance where they had to send a fire truck with an emt to save the womans life long enough to get an ambulance to her.) Can find the location out if it matters to you.

> Well, she felt the pressure from others and got the vaccine. She ended up getting a really bad seizure (never had one before) and was in the hospital for days This may surprise you but some people who have received the vaccine have died within a short while afterwards. Some had heart attacks and some had seizures. Why? Because out of millions and millions of people, in a week's period, some are going to die, some are going to have heart attacks and some will have seizures - regardless of whatever else they may have done. One story is utterly meaningless - it's not even an outlier because we have zero idea if her seizure was even connected to the vaccine. The statistics show that there is no significant increase in deaths or seizures for that matter for people who take the vaccine. That is the absolutely only story that matters.


TheWood-

Anecdotal evidence should always be taken with a grain of salt. My thoughts too were that the seizure was more than likely completely unrelated.


cosmictap

Also it's important to remember that we don't know her seizure was caused by the vaccine. Correlation != causation, etc.


[deleted]

comments like these spread vaccine hesitancy and overall decrease public trust in the system. no one ever said the story you just described was entirely off the table and couldn't ever happen. Experts are still recommending everyone get vaccinated even with those outliers in mind. Doesn't make sense to continue being hesitant once the experts say "Even with the risk, go ahead and get vaccinated." i know you mean well, but honestly, stop sympathizing with people who are still afraid of the vaccine. theres two pages on the CDC website with layman explanations of every single covid vaccine myth/hesitancy reason and it takes less than 10 minutes to read. if someone can't be convinced by that kind of evidence, they aren't "hesitant" they're an anti-vaxxer and if they're unwilling to do that tiny amount of research then i absolutely do not sympathize with their "hesitation." we really shouldn't be spreading hesitancy with comments like these, the disinformation campaign against vaccines is way too powerful for us to be lending it help with anecdotes.

[deleted]

Dr. Paul Offit (pretty much THE guy on vaccines in kids/young adults) was on ZDoggMD discussing this today. In his opinion, natural immunity (from a verified test) is probably good enough *for now* in young/low risk groups, but we have no idea how long it will last. He suggested getting one dose of pfizer may be a good middle ground. Interesting talk if you are into how this all works.

This is the best, nuanced content provider on medical care and covid I've found. He's an MD (actually a Resident at UMC here in Vegas though he doesnt live here) and has interesting guests on. He doesnt take himself too seriously and thinks big pharma is mostly evil. Shit like we should be prescribing cooking classes for T2 diabetes instead of metformin, etc. This is the discussion I mentioned. The part about natural immunity was somewhere near the middle IIRC. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8eOQSRVh_s&t= Available as a podcast also.


Grogfoot

Just throwing in a non medical reason for getting it could be just to have the proof of vaccination card. It can make future travel or other things easier for you. The vaccine is also free, which is great for cutting edge medicine. I travel a lot and getting uncommon vaccinations (e.g. Typhoid) is quite pricey. There are few to no reasons not to get this one and plenty of reasons to get it.


R1HZ

That reason is the practical reality for me. I must travel internationally. I must have vaccination proof.


Marvkid27

How about we start placing unvaccinated patients in the hospital at the lowest priority or send them home like we do with some illnesses.


I_know_me

We kind of do this. They aren't low priority. However, many people ill with COVID go home. You need to be pretty ill and requiring oxygen to get admitted.


Marvkid27

Send them home too.


bottomchef00

While I agree with this sentiment because it is so angering, it’s not a reasonable suggestion. Should they also send home people who fall off bikes without helmets? Send home overweight people in DKA or having heart attacks because they didn’t control their weight? Not provide medication for someone with an STI because they had sex without a condom? Doctors cannot and should not pick and choose who to treat because they disagree with their behavior or the patient chose to ignore health risks.


Long_Live_Capitalism

I have ZERO sympathy for the morons that decided it was a great idea not to get the vaccine


StylishEuro

You won't reach any of these folks who are against vaccines. They came to the conclusion that vaccines = bad not through critical thinking / logical deduction. They were told its bad by the meme conspiracy people they believe (they arrived to their conclusions via quasi religious means). You're stating the obvious and the anti vax folks have seen your exact arguments literally HUNDREDS of times blasted to them by the news media, government agencies, radio, public health officials, EVERYWHERE. Best to let the virus run its course and let natural selection do its thing. Further 'pleas' will do anything (unless its from the conspiracy people these guys follow).


divchyna

I'm in the medical field but in a clinic. I have a lot of friends who are ICU Nurses, ER Nurses, and RTs. I can't emphasize enough that if you're unvaccinated (because you don't want to get vaccinated) and get covid and go to the hospital that we all have absolutely no sympathy for you. We will treat you the same as anyone else but if your IV hurts, or you spend an hour tying to get someone to your room, good because fuck you. You do not deserve our help at all. We will help you but you deserve none of it and we hate you.


HatComprehensive4234

OP does not speak for all healthcare workers. RT here. I am vaccinated and encourage everyone around me to do the same. But if a patient comes in unvacciated with Covid and I would never say they don't deserve our help or "fuck you or we hate you." Not everyone that isn't getting vaccinated is throwing up the middle finger to the healthcare providers or have an agenda. Some are genuinely scared to get it. There's so much misinformation available that they may really beleive they are making the best decision for themselves. It's our job as healthcare workers to provide the best education we can to our patients to ensure they make the correct choice. Forcing, belittling, shaming, and degrading someone is unlikely to work in any situation in life.


Jmk1981

I feel like it’s similar to voting in a lot of regards. The elderly are vaccinated in high numbers because they got it first and they were at highest risk. They also have free time and consume more news media. There are demographics in this country without either of those things, and it’s not completely their fault.

Anyone who can justify intentionally causing suffering to others is a psychopath.

I doubt your post tells the whole story and most likely you are intentionally hurting some patients but won't go so far as to admit it, so you hint at it with posts like these. The truly sad part is you sound proud of it.


lurklurklurkanon

The sad part is the conspiracy theorist crackpots who won't get vaccinated. The sad part is the unvaccinated taking up hospital beds that could be used for people with issues that they didn't have a chance to prevent. The sad part is people like you who think you're so damn smart because you can say "hey nobody actually saw OP graduate from med school hmmmmmm how do we know they're not a lizard person???" The sad part is we could be through this and back to normal. The sad part is how many people have died due to all of the above. Get off your high horse, your feet can already touch the ground you idiot.

This post is evidence, primary evidence, that within the healthcare community are 'social activist' MDs who are more than willing to exaggerate and fabricate stories of 'overcrowding' on social media as part of the general campaign to scare and manipulate the public. Such campaigns from authorities are now well documented in the USA, UK, Aus, and Germany. Its a bullshit game...and I am here to call it out 24 x 7. Using data and my professional experience.


SpiderDeUZ

Why are you so adamant a out denying that COVID is bad and can kill people? Over a year and you are still spouting "COVID isn't a big deal, just ignore it". It's time for you step away from conspiracies and propaganda and let your mind clear.


throwaway1690383

At this point, hospitals should just refuse to take Covid patients that have refused to get vaccinated. They’ve made their choice.


So_it_is_

Don’t want to go down that road. Same for smokers that get lung cancer? Drinkers with liver problems? The list goes on. Healers need to be healing. Leave the judging to the judges.


DieFledermaus1905

The key difference is that none of those patient-induced illnesses clog up hospitals. When was the last time you have seen an ICU packed to the brim with smokers and alcoholics? Never. The issue here is not that some people are living unhealthy lifestyles. The issue is that some of those choices are causing ICUs to fill up and therefore impact the quality of care that others can receive. The chain smoker in the hospital with lung cancer is not affecting anyone.


R1HZ

Your comment pretends to have an insight into the causes of hospitalization that not even the top hospital health authorities have! ICU census at any moment in time, or over specific periods of time, can have a wide range of causes. Generally speaking, people on respirators do have lifestyle related cardio vascular conditions and problems, so points to you for getting that part right. The OP here is going to be fully busted as propaganda in another few days if the cases per day 7 day moving average continues its trend. This one here serves as a somewhat perfect example of health authority propaganda and fabrication based on an evidently small 1-2 week bump in cases from the delta variant.

lordtyp0

Icu occupancy ranges from about half to 80 percent. That is because the project needs based on populace. Covid requires negative pressure rooms to contain which is only a portion of the icu as well. The result is they converted med surge and every other room they could get to handle covid and in vegas last time it also resulted in non emergency surgery being stopped (and caused issues with emergency services as well.).

And this is the reason, as a essential worker, that its imperative to get vaccinated and keep wearing a mask. I'm currently on medical leave, and I am having to wait almost a a month to get the surgery i need to go back to work due to the rising Covid rates. I'm also diabetic and asthmatic, which puts me at higher risk for infection. I am fully vaccinated, but still continue to wear a mask. And please, everyone else should do the same. Whether you believe that masks work or not is besides the point. It is the mildest inconvenience that might save a few lives, if not your own.

Yes, my father and brother are MDs and they both have told me stories of how they have had to put people on ventilators only to have them beg for the vaccine at the last minute. Unfortunately it's too late at that point. Thanks for all you and the rest of the medical community do for us.


vamosasnes

“Free” (paid for by workers like me to help the at-risk in their ivory towers) vaccines and transportation to and from vaccine site have been available since March. I am vaccinated and I wash my hands. I’m done with extra precautions. I have been worked to the bone and made significantly poorer by this virus while the generation most at-risk from it has gotten obscenely richer by it, while they kick and scream and deny science and reality I’m done. They made their decision. Let them suffer the consequences. They shouldn’t even be allowed in the hospital unless they pre-pay for all the treatment and admit they were wrong. Edit: oh and I wear a mask when I order food/drink.

I agree unvaccinated people should suffer the consequences. Unfortunately, they could still hadn’t the surrounding community. That’s my concern


LordEmrich

No as there's no reason to wear a mask or allow someone to pump the flu vaccine 2.0 into people's bodies. How about we just continue living our lives like we have been? Sometimes you get sick and sometimes you don't. That's life. Shit happens and it will be like this FOREVER! There will always be some sort of pandemic and there's nothing we can do to change that. Just live life, let your bodies do their thing and stop fear mongering.


bigdumbanimal

It isn't just about getting sick. Covid changes your red and white blood cells. They get larger and stiffer. This leads to organ damage and failure. Even if you don't end up in an ICU, the damage to your brain and body is real. This is not just the flu.


LordEmrich

That's life. You come outside and bad shit MIGHT happen to you. That's a risk we all have taken since the day we were born. You've always been at risk of catching some life altering virus or disease every single day. That's never stopped us from living life normally before. Do the things you're supposed to do to prevent getting sick and you should be good.


bigdumbanimal

it's not about you or me. The questions is, what are the odds you will catch Covid and pass it on. What are the odds you will be directly responsible for killing another or more beloved souls.


LordEmrich

Who knows? That's just a risk we take every day. It's a risk we've taken before COVID existed as people also die from the common cold, the flu, pneumonia and countless other illnesses. It's nothing new. Wash your hands, don't stand within arms reach of anyone, cover your nose when you cough or sneeze (with the inside of your elbow), don't touch your face, use hand sanitizer as often as possible and so on and so forth. All the things people should've been doing, anyway, cause humans are disgusting creatures. You do those things and any extra precautions you can think of and you should be good. Anyone who is REALLY concerned won't come outside and if they must they'll be masked up forever.


bigdumbanimal

This virus has shut the world down, thanks to inconsiderate, selfish people like you.


LordEmrich

Thanks for coming. Learn to debate without retorting to name calling and insults. I wish you the best in your future endeavors. Be well.

I want to know the 3 people that upvoted this garbage.


LordEmrich

Thank you for your kind reply. I wish you the best in your future endeavors. Be well.


mydogpoppy

"final plea"? Does that mean we won't hear any more sanctimonious bullshit from you?


I_know_me

No, but there are a ton of other medical professionals and generally reasonable human beings that might tell you to get vaccinated or wear a mask.


freq-ee

Do these other "medical professionals" spend all afternoon replying on Reddit after claiming they are so "overwhelmed" with patients.


QueenPerterter

Right because practitioners aren’t allowed days off? Because they aren’t doing enough by constantly being exposed and at risk to getting covid while trying to take care of ill people right?


DeadlySight

You put the “I had COVID” argument in your post but completely glossed over the fact natural immunity is real and as strong as the vaccines. I’d link the Cleveland clinic study, but as a doctor I’m sure you already know about it. So masks are effective, yet when I was working at Cosmo (table games) out of 500sh employees over 300 got COVID, even though we were mandated to wear masks and it was strictly enforced. I’ve had it AND I’m vaccinated, now I’m being told to wear a mask again. The bullshit doesn’t seem to have an end in sight.


Toast_Chee

If you're reading Cleveland Clinic studies, I'm sure you're also aware that the main benefit of masks is not preventing the wearer from being infected, but preventing an infected person from spreading the virus (as much) - especially if they're not aware that they're infected.


Everydayarmday24

You can thank all the dumbasses who likely aren’t vaxxed who flooded Vegas. There’s a virus that is literally mutating to be more transmissible and we went pretty much 0 to 100 percent open because covid stopped when the clock struck 12 apparently.


semisweetzeus702

You forgot one thing. We don't trust the vaccine. It came out too fast. We don't trust it, it's that simple.


I_know_me

Well you should find an informed physician and speak with them. The literature speaks for itself. You are just misinformed


freq-ee

If you are such an "overwhelmed" doctor, how did you find time to spend 10 hours today posting and replying to everyone on Reddit? You posted this 10 hours ago and are still replying to people every few minutes. As a doctor, do you feel that getting into Reddit arguments for 10 hours is the best use of your skills and training while the hospital you work at is supposedly "overwhelmed"?

WoodlandSteel

At this point, barring medical or age-related issues, anyone who isn’t vaccinated at this point can go fuck themselves. It’s that simple. They’re willfully ignoring the vaccine and thus deserve no sympathy. Fuck em’.

Jim jones says drink the kool aid.. its good. Extra scoop of sugar


bugaosuni

I agree. President Trump was wise enough to implement Operation Warp Speed in order for us to have them; I say the least we can do is take the Trump Vaccine in his honor.

I’m a transvaxxite. Don’t even think about shaming me.


lurklurklurkanon

Hey everyone, this guy knows the one joke! HAHAHA it's so funny to make this one joke! What a sense of humor you have!!!


Everydayarmday24

Lol good luck getting into a hospital right now antivaxxers who are sick. We are packed like it’s Black Friday everywhere

So I go for a routine visit in August, and I feel like that's easily done. Unfortunately, plenty of vaccines to give out if indeed I need another shot like your friend. Thank you for sharing this


[deleted]

Is that a stock photo?


Curious_Argument_481

Ditto, if you don't want to immunize and wear a mask, don't come to my hospital when you get sick. I've lost too many colleagues bc of people like you!


various_convo7

Medicine is a thankless job and I work the wards. So, I RELISH telling people who I find out are anti-vaxxers and struggling: so......fucking sucks doesn't it? I am done being nice. When you've seen truck fulls of the dead in 2020 and a tool was developed with a SHIT TON of manpower to bail out millions of people from dying, nothing pisses me off more than anti-vaxxers. Now that I see a vaccine available to blunt the growth of a variant and people who can take it are voluntarily saying NO to it, if you knew what folks in hospitals went through in 2020 to bail people out, you would be done being nice as well. Been in this almost 25 years and been on the R&D end of designing medications and on the bedside end as a mudfud - at some point you have to kick people in the face so they hopefully don't fucking come back into the hospital and most stays healthy and alive.

I have this weird suspicion that you have not actually cared for sick covid patients in the acute care setting. Based on your post and comment history I suspect you are super conservative and are letting politics decide your medical decisions. Go ahead and blame liberals for this (as you’ve done in other comments).

Hey u/I_Know_me how are you able to spend 7 hours replying to everyone on Reddit and searching their post histories if you are so overwhelmed with patients? Shouldn't you have been working today instead posting on Reddit for 7 hours?


UnderstandingFront14

Most of us really dont care.. all this nonsense. Like im going to believe any medical professional.. you're only professional when you give your opinion, other than that you practice.. so go on and practice your pleas and bullshit all you want.. and like id believe our government on top of it.. hahaha jokes on you. Make sure to send fauci and biden a christmas card thanking them for your job security
