Observing the Real Danger

I know five people who have contracted COVID-19.  Five.  Out of all the people I know, I’m aware of only five of them who have actually had the disease.  And none of them died.  Hell, none of them even had symptoms worse than a cold.

If COVID-19 is as contagious as we’re being led to believe, certainly many more than five people I know would have caught it.  And, if it’s as dangerous as we’re being led to believe, someone I know would have died because of it.  Or, been hospitalized.  Or, at least, gotten really, really sick.

So, either COVID-19 isn’t as contagious as we’re being told, or it isn’t as dangerous as we’re being told. 

Because both can’t be true.

I’m not saying that people aren’t getting sick and dying from COVID-19.  There are undoubtedly some people who have been hospitalized and some people who have died.  I’m just saying that I don’t know anyone in either category.  And I know a lot of people.

We’re also being told that people can be infected with the virus that causes COVID-19 and not even know it.  These people have such a mild case of the disease that they have no indication at all that they’re infected and potentially contagious.

I’ll buy that.  It makes sense.  Since the people I know who had COVID-19 had such mild cases, it stands to reason that there are other people I know who also had it, but with even milder cases.  If that’s true, then it’s even more likely that the disease is highly contagious, and less likely that it’s highly dangerous. 

Because it can’t be both.

I’m not saying that any disease can’t be highly contagious and highly dangerous.  Smallpox is an example of a disease that is both.  Measles is another.  What I’m saying is that THIS disease can’t be highly contagious and highly dangerous.

Because if COVID-19 is as contagious as claimed, most of the people I know would have contracted the disease by now.  And, if it were as dangerous as they claim, a lot of the people I know who contracted the disease would have died because of it.  Or at least one.

On the other hand, I know a lot of people who have gotten sick from the vackseens.  I’m talking really sick.  I’m talking fever-chills-nausea-can’t-get-out-of-bed-for-days sick.  I know many more people who have suffered from a vackseen-related illness, than I do people who have gotten sick from the disease the vackseen is designed to prevent.

All of the people I know who contracted COVID-19 are fine.  They’re all back to normal and have no lingering issues.  But some of the vacksinated people I know are still experiencing symptoms from their vackseen-related illness, such as brain fog and fatigue.  These long-haul symptoms are still occurring months after they became “fully vacksinated”.  No one can say for sure if the symptoms will ever go away.

The media is quick to show stories of people sick with COVID-19 who claim to wish they had been vacksinated.  But I don’t know a single person who says the same thing.  I don’t know any “vackseen hesitant” person who wishes they had changed their mind.  I do, however, know people with “vackseen regret”.

By my observations, the chances of having a vackseen-related illness, with long-haul side effects, is much greater than the chance of having a serious case of COVID-19. 

So, remind me again.  Which one is supposed to be the more dangerous of the two?
