I know three otherwise healthy people sick from covid and three people sick from the vaccine. So from my perspective the vaccine seems to be the same as covid. However, it's worse because you don't have 100% chance of getting covid naturally.

I don't have a large circle of people who would talk to me, so my answers might not be terribly meaningful.

My mom had covid a couple of weeks ago - used vit C and got over it in 3 days. She's anti-vaxx. My brother and his whole family (himself, wife, 2 kids) had covid last year - better in 4 days using horse paste ivermectin. My mom and I suspect he and his wife are recently jabbed. They've been calling us conspiracy nutters for years. Colleague had covid last year. She was sick for a couple of weeks, no lasting complications according to her. Vaxxed in Januaryish. She doesn't talk to me about any problems with it but she says she will not get a booster. Personally, I haven't been sick at all other than allergies and I will never take any vaxx, covid or otherwise. Same with my partner.

I hear stories from my mom of vaxx injuries, deaths from heart attacks and strokes, new cancer diagnoses, etc. of people she knows who are vaxxed. One of her acquaintances currently has double-covid pneumonia. She was not vaxxed though her husband was (he died from a heart attack a few weeks after the vax).

I know five people who have had covid. Three were this year (two vaccinated, one unvaccinated). Two friends had it last year.

I know a lot of people who have vaccine. One person with major known side effect (constant back spasms). I wouldn't be surprised if there are more side effects like heart inflammation that people just don't know yet (since they aren't exactly testing) or if there are more side effects in 5+ years.

A few people in my small town have died "of Covid"... but they had all "done everything right", including getting vaccinated.

I know several people who have gotten Covid who were not vaccinated... they were sick for a week and just got better at home.

I've been around Covid-positive people several times over the last 18 months and have never gotten anything more than a little bit of a dry cough. I take zinc and sodium ascorbate every day, and go outside and get some sun and exercise daily too.

All my family has been vaxxed except me. No MAJOR issues, but there have been memory issues and problems with periods which started after the shots.

I lived isolated for the entire period. Two colleagues of mine claimed they had the Rona. One was tested positive.

I wish I also had their jobs and take time off

COVID-19:

I know one person in my family who claims to have had it, and it was a really bad flu.

I've been personally looking for it, I have traveled during the pandemic. I've had a mild sniffles twice for like a couple days. Was that COVID? Could be. I've been on buses, trains, I got outside whenever I feel like it, eat in restaurants, etc.

My neighbors now say they had it a couple weeks ago and they felt terrible. Was it actually COVID or something else? Who knows. I know zero people who have died or been to hospital.

Vaccine:

Most of my family has taken a vaccine. My Mom never complained of anything, my Gramma got it but I have no idea how she took it as she lives in a nursing home and they were on lockdown for months. She already has dementia so hard to know if anything changed.

My Dad started sounding noticeably slower after the 2nd dose of mRNA for a few weeks. I gave him some Ginko Biloba and since he has sounded better.

A streamer I follow is complaining about pain in different parts of his body and hands (which he thinks might be arthritis) after vaccination.

I know people who "tested positive" but no one who had significant symptoms. I know 3 people who had 911 worthy reactions to vaccination (with unknown long term effects of course)

I have 2 interesting cases who took the "vax" at its experimental stages I think early back in December. The very first people in my extended circle who took it.

2 mid thirties, one terribly obese and the other is a gym going type. I expected the obese to fall first, but nope. Only last week got news that the other guy died! Supposedly of covid! All of his colleagues blame it on going to a vacation and not sanitizing enough during it! They can't make the connection whatsoever. Even when told, they think if you don't die from it in a week or a month then it can't possibly be blamed.

I think the obese person absorbed the vax contents in his fat, if he ever makes a diet and consumes that fat he is a goner.

What's interesting though, is that the guy who died from it, complained when he took the vaccine that he didn't feel anything, he was convinced he should get mildly sick as proof of its "working", those who think they got a "placebo" might be surprised later on that it was not placebo after all.

I know of various other cases who have gotten seriosly ill or died of the vax (none of so called covid),

I know a few people who had Covid, but nothing major I've only met a few people who were vaxxed, but I'm not close with them, so I don't know what their side effects were or if they died a month later or whatever.

No deaths either way.

Several extended family members have gotten covid, taken the vax, or both. All of them are completely fine.

I know two people who SAID they had relatives die of covid. I know one person who said they tested positive and isolated for two weeks, but this was before the election and the PCR stuff was giving false positives at a coin toss.

I know one fellow at work who got the vax, and got very sick, but recovered in a couple days. Another person was slightly sick and missed a day of work, and a third was complaining about chronic fatigue and muscle aches/pain that wouldn't go away after they took the vax, even weeks and weeks later. Don't know what kind they all took.

As for having the RONA, my whole kids in November of 2019 got some illness that made them miss two whole weeks of school it was that bad. Wife was sick for a few days. I never got anything. In fact, I've not been sick with the cold or flu for 3 years at this point.

I had it, ran through family Nov 2020. Nothing to fear, 69 yr old mother in law with hear issues was fine.

It's all hyped bullshit.

I'm a good resource for this. Went to a family funeral late last year and about 10 of us got Covid. No problems for any of us (well no worse than the flu).

I know about 30 people who got the vax. No issues there either.

The thing is, I am a central hub of an organization about 5000 Americans mostly age 70 and up, and many in their 80s and older. Not a single Covid death among them was reported to us. Lots of deaths every year among this group, no more last year than any other year. Covid is real. But the hype around it is BS.

I personally don't know anyone that was sick from covid, nor do I know any cases of major health degradation after a vax.

That's exactly what happened to me by the way.

I know many people that have been vaccinated, probably 100 or so between family and Co workers. No major side effects, sore arm, feeling a little sick for a day or 2. Don't know any body that died from covid but my 17 year old cousin got MSI-E as a complication from covid. Permanent Lung and heart damage, he survived but was a track athlete before and will never be the same again.
