    Sorry to hear that. I think I’ve posted this before but my friend has been on a ventilator for the past 2 weeks. Another anti-vaxxer. It’s so sad.

    These are the known side effects of Tylenol.

    Ty-le-nol.

    There are no perfect medicines. There are no medicines that don't have some side effects in some people.

    Look up the side effects of any prescription or over-the-counter medicine you take.

    Look up the side effects of any vaccine you've been given.

    This demand that the different covid vaccines be free from any and all side effects, and now that it also gives 100% protection is honestly ridiculous.

    I'm not saying that you ignore the reported side effects of the covid vaccines but there can be a thousand different reasons for them.

    Things like genetic markers, race, where a vaccine was manufactured, reactions to other medications are just a few of the things that can contribute to or cause side effects.

    2 weeks is such a long time to be on a ventilator. That has to be very hard on his family.

    Obviously, you’re not paying attention to a lot of posts here…

    Sorry, HCP. And so easily prevented.

    A related topic. WHO announced first ever malaria vaccine. Malaria remains one of the great killers and it's a parasitic illness. Parasites are far more complex than viruses or bacteria and extremely difficult to find vaccines against parasites. This one is only 50% effective. Not great but better than zero. I doubt you will see antivax protests in Southeast Asia or sub Saharan Africa. Those protests are for the privileged.

    And I wouldn't expect you to get it... You've proven that you lap up the BS with the best of them.

    It wasn't intended as a criticism of anybody in particular. But I did give a critique of his response.

    Conspiracy monger Allen West, who is mounting a primary challenge to Texas governor Abbott from the right, is in the hospital with Covid pneumonia. He is, of course, unvaccinated. Malaria drug and horse dewormer, shockingly, didn't work.
