    Once I am vaccinated with both shots of Pfizer Vaccine is it virtually impossible for me to catch Covid-19 after that ?

    Favorite Answer:

    In early March, Newsweek reported that 4000 people had died of covid after getting sick with covid 3 or more weeks after the 2nd vaccination.

    - Last week, Business Insider said it was 74. 

    - So take your pick.  I'm going with the more legitimate one from Newsweek. 

    In an average year 51 American get struck by lighting.

    Even taking the hooky BI information --

    about 5000 sick with covid since fully vaccinated and 74 deaths. 

    with approximately 200M vaccinated that gives you a .025% chance of getting covid, shich is significantly higher than chance than being hit by lightening. 

    HOWEVER, remember most of these people have only been vaccinated since February 1st so the time line is REALLY SHORT.

    And Pfizer already announced you will need a 3rd vaccination some time between 6-12 months.

    Do Westerners do any of these things?

    I am not a Westerner, I am a Slav from Southeast Europe and here people don’t look like your typical Western white person. Yes, we are white, but we have a different appearance.

    So, do western people ever have a bad day, cry, have ups and downs in life, are sad, lose friends, are hated, etc.? Do they face any hardships?

    What is it that America doesn't get about the Second amendment being a horrendous idea and have the intelligence to abolish it?

    Favorite Answer:

    A lot of people do grasp that. They haven't been enough for repeal.

    If the framers of the Constitution could observe our situation now, they'd ask us why we hadn't done away with the SA eons ago.  They didn't intend for the Constitution to be regarded as graven in stone even to the nation's detriment. They gave us the means to amend it.

    The sole reason was to ensure that we COULD change the Constitution when necessary.

    Can suicidal thoughts make u cry, or is it just depression or self judgment ?

    For a few years now sometimes when I’m alone I think about how much it sucks to be me and all y weaknesses and I just wish I could die and not live the rest of my young adulthood. 

    Im too scared and never have the guts to actually act on it. 

    So I just imagine me doing it and ugly cry.  I don’t want to be alive anymore sometimes and just ugly cry.

    is it normal to have hallucinate in times of extreme stress?

    I was in the park after it closed with my friend the other night and we were not supposed to be there.  I was scared teh whole time because my friend brought beer and we drank some together.  At one point I panicked because I heard what sounded like cop sirens.  My friend seemed shocked and said he did not hear anything.  I finally calmed down and realized I could have hallucinated it.  Could this mean I have schizophrenia?

    Why does "A Hutch"  think anyone cares about his opinion on covid when he could not even pass a chem 1 level college class?

    A Hutch is a retarded, delusional redneck with a god complex who works at Walmart and spends hours a day telling people about covid , vaccines and masks. 

    He thinks he knows more than ACTUAL infectious disease doctors with 8 years of education and decades of training and experience from a few hours of google

    If he and all the other retarded rednecks with god complexes knew more than actual infectious disease doctors about covid, vaccines and masks they would just become infectious disease MDs and earn over 400,000 while getting 10X the respect than they do now.

    How to deal with this? Depression.?

    I was told my depression is quite high by my doctor. I told my family I have depression, it honestly took a lot of courage but they called me crazy and it's the devils doing. (They are religious. My mom is the one who called me crazy, which really hurt) I honestly dont feel motivated to do anything, and I dont feel much appetite, even if I dont eat but they just insult me on my eating habits. When I wanted a job, they declined it but now they want me to have a job and are comparing me to a cousin who's the same age as me and has a job. It really hurts. Right now, my mom was bringing me down with words, I started crying and had difficulty breathing, she didnt comfort me but instead said "how about I hit you so you start crying for real"

    I cant take this anymore. I keep thinking on overdosing myself and I'm afraid I might actually do it. I want to get out of this house but I dont know how to do anything since they didnt let me do anything when I felt motivated for it. What can I do??

    Is there any way to overcome bipolar disorder without therapy? ?

    Favorite Answer:

    Says one of us, "EVERY single person on the planet meets the qualifications for bipolar." That is, EVERYONE has frequent panic attacks and harm themselves with glass and a knife. 

    My question is, if there's a chance that therapy could help with your problem, a life-threatening problem that's giving you misery, why not give it a try? The recommended things are medication, therapy, and stress management. How important therapy is in that I can't say but why overlook anything that might help?

    If there's a money problem, see if you might get therapy low cost or free. You might find something good if you called your local social services (211?) or googled "affordable psychotherapy." The cost of therapy can vary a lot.

    Who is technically fatter?

    My friend has been trying to set me up with one of her friends for the past month, and to be frank, it's hard to see myself with someone who is even bigger than me.

     

    When I brought this to my friend's attention -- she told me that I have no right to talk about her friend's weight because I'm way fatter than her friend (her words). Of course I disagree, I'm 5'9 and weigh 385 lbs, while her friend is only 5'2 but weighs around 250 lbs. Again, I know I technically weigh more, however, I think our heights should be considered.

    I can’t get myself out of the house?

    Favorite Answer:

    Stand outside your front door with door open.

    Next day do the same with the door closed.

    Next day walk 2 steps down the path and so on.

    If you don't scream, cry and wet your knickers and ,an airplane does not drop on your head, then there is no reason to stay indoors is there?

    What's worse: the Spanish flu pandemic or the COVID-19 pandemic?

    I think, at this point, people are beginning to understand that having a healthy lifestyle will not save you from the virus, but will only strengthen the immune system and lessen the severity of producing symptoms. I'm just wondering if the Spanish flu was much worse than COVID-19 because, back then, there were no medical treatments aside from vaccines. I don't understand why the current pace of vaccinations are very slow, but it couldn't have been bad as compared back then, right? I've following the news ever since the pandemic started, and a lot of antiviral drugs were recommended, like hydroxychloroquine, remdesivir, dexamethasone, and then ivermectin. Do you think this pandemic is worse, as compared back then when there were no drugs to treat patients? Again, I'm talking about medical treatments, not vaccines, just to put things into perspective.

    Ladies would you opt out of a beach vacation if it was scheduled on your period?

    I’m feeling bummed out because me and 4 other ladies have a quick little trip to the beach planned except of course it falls on literally all of my period days, which my periods are kind of rough cramp wise and such. I’m still paying all my fees for the hotel and such since it was split between us but I don’t know if I should force myself to go and try to have fun or just not go but I feel bad even though I’d be paying all my prices. What would you do?
