I used one of those Binax tests, a quick google search says they have a track record of reliability

Not tremendously, the margin of error is too big. @Error1355

Go do PCR tests ffs ! And you're probably already positive :( Even having 2 shots (if it's Pfizer / Moderna) doesn't make you fully immune, just lowers the probablility of being infected and especially eliminates drastically the chances of serious symptoms. But you can carry it unknowingly and contaminate others. Especially with the delta.

You should know all this by now, after almost 20 months of pandemic. I shouldn't be honding your hand on this gosh darn it ! >:[ Don't they give you any information in the US of A ?! :/

The vaccine does not help one avoid catching covid.

it is meant to cut down the bad sickness that people get when they catch it.

this has been cut and dried for months now.

Say goodbye to your dick my dude. I'd give it one last jerkin if I were you.

So if this is the case, why are people so insistent on mandatory vaccines? Whether one takes it or not it doesn't help others avoid getting Covid-19, it just makes you more likely to survive if you do get it.

So whether a person takes it or not is a personal decision and doesn't effect others chances of survival in any way shape or form correct?

I know it doesnt prevent covid, I know its just way less bad if youre vaccinated

Im curious how I dont have it, being I only have one dose(received on Saturday) and Ive been in close contact with her all weekend

How the FUCK do you know you don't have it ? Did a PCR test ? It takes a few good days (up to a week) for a PCR to pop up positive. And it takes a good 3 weeks for the vaccine to trigger your immunity.

Not true, it drastically cuts the down the chances of you getting it and if you do the symptoms will be fairly minor.

Checking in: heart getting better, dick still dead and probably not coming back.

To anyone that hasn't, get your vaccine if you like having a functional tool.

Vaccinated people spread it significantly less generally

I dunno man.. The viral load for Delta variant is the same for vaccinated and non vaccinated.

TC needs to wear an N95 mask and wash hands a lot.

It takes time for the test to show up as positive after an infection IIRC up to 2 weeks. It also takes some time to stop being contagious after you get time. IIRC about 11 daya after the first symptom.

In other words, be careful so you dont get infected as well.

There is a limited amount of hospital beds and for some weird reason, the people who don't trust doctors on the vaccines, are going to the hospital to get medical treatment from those very same doctors when they get COVID. So until these people stop going to the hospital and just quietly stay at home, take their home remedies, vaccines will continue to be pushed.

the ones who lack trust in the vaccine taken all the beds. people have died due to non-covid reasons because there's no room even for something as minor as a gallbladder issue (could've taken no more than 15 mins to fix).
