That doesn't even make sense. Was he tested for Covid?
Here's the thing, if he gets delta he likely won't make it and he may infect the rest of the family as well—not sure how everyone else is doing but this thing kills if you haven't been vaccinated.
Yes, you can get a mutated version if you're vaccinated but so far the vaccine seems to knock even those down to something in the area of a mild flue.
The odds are extrememly low regarding the myocarditis and pericarditis.
I watched two doctors last night (on was the White House docctor I think) and they explained that not only are the odds of getting myocarditis and pericarditis extremely low, that even those with preexisting heart issues are better off taking the risk of getting myocarditis and pericarditis than getting the Delta version of Covid, which is now dominating the US, or the next horrrible mutation.
I understand you don't want to take that chance with your one kid, but why aren't you, your wife and other kids getting your Covid vaccines? By doing so would help protect your son with the heart issue.
I just lost another close friend a couple days ago. This time to cancer. Dude made a huge an impression on me in my early teens and I've been a fan and friend ever since. It hurt so bad to find out I lost him.
I don't want to lose anymore friends. I don't want to lose any of you S&B members who despite what your politics may be are considered by me to be friends if not family on some level. |

Slob, I do appreciate your concern, I really do.
All 4 of us had Covid in August 2021. Was probably the Delta variation as it was going pretty strong at that time. My family picked it up in California most likely.
We were all tested and all tested positive. My son had symptoms that were basically like a mild cold. Daughter was like a regular cold. Wife was sick, and I was the sickest. None of us has had any lingering side effects.
If I do die of Covid, you can come to my gravesite and yell at me. Make sure you say something about me being a Tracker truck user in your rant. |

Hey guys,
I'm newer to the forum and haven't really posted outside the wanted section. I'm a 90s kid trying to catch up on deck collecting now that I have the income.
Am I missing something or don't understand correctly? I can get covid with and without the vaccine. I can spread covid with or without the vaccine. I can die from covid with or without the vaccine.
Skateboard collecting has been the main way I've coped during these times. Thank you for hoarding and sharing. |

Very, very unlikely. It would require you to have a sever pre-existing medical issue for that to happen. A very minuet percentage of those who get the vaccine could have the after effect of myocarditis and pericarditis which doctors know how to treat. Apparently that is connected to just 2 of the Vaccines—and as I said its like .5% in a million. However, if you get the Delta variant without the vaccine, good chance you're dead.
There are a lot of people that think they had Covid and survived it without the vaccine. Almost none of them had a test to see if it was Covid, and for those that did, it may have been a false positive as Covid is a coronavirus which belongs to a family of viruses that are both near harmless and deadly.
I have a long time friend that is a Para-medic who didn't get get the vaccine because she is waiting for a dna vaccine (she doesn't trust mra vaccines) and believes she got Covid and because of her being very healthy with a hot body that she beat it. That's unlikely and foolish. She probably had the flu. She's a great fuck, but she is dumb as hell. Part of what the corona virus does is set off elements of your bodies own defenses that can make things worse. For example, Covid can cause a respiratory infection in your lungs and your body reacts: as the infection travels through your respiratory tract, your immune system fights back. Your lungs and airways swell and become inflamed. This can start in one part of your lung and spread to the entirety of both—making it difficult to breath and lowering your oxygen level to critical levels. With healthy people this reaction by the body can be severe and worse than someone who is not in great shape.
And that's when they they have to put you on respirators and ventilators to keep you breathing and alive—unless it gets so bad they can't defeat it and that has happened a lot. |

5 unvaccinated family members of mine got covid.
youngest was 5, oldest was 84 in a nursing home... on oxygen cause his lungs are shot from smoking his whole life.
We thought for sure that was the nail in the coffin for grandpa when covid swept through his nursing home.
nope.
tough as shit he made it right on through it like it was nothing.
hard to believe.
All 5 family members made it through no big deal. |

Yes, you are missing something. You can be injured by or die from the vaccine only if you get the vaccine. |
