Eat well, sleep well, exercise. There you go.

[@dickjohnson7845]

And supplement with vitamin D3, K2 and Zinc. Done.

[@NYyankeeboi]

Not vaxxed and Ive been around people with covid and never got it.

[@marcuscain1377]

Same here. People blew this virus over proportion. Covid wasn't as terrible as the media made it out to be. Swine Flu was way worse but that didn't cause a global pandemic.

[@IAMWORLDBULLYCOMPOUNDGLOBAL]

YOU HAVE A STRONG MIND. THAT'S WHY. YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT WAS ACTUALLY GOING ON.

I cannot believe they’re still out here acting like anyone on earth is taking these damn shots 😂

[@redlikewineagain697]

How many people do you know of have cancer?

[@juicyfruit6311]

Always depends on the person. I tested positive recently. The worst symptoms lasted one day. After a good night sleep, I felt fine. Despite still testing positive, I worked out and did plenty of chores around the house. Whatever. Last month, I got a bad neck sprain. Gawd. Sleeping was hell. Sitting up was hell. Driving was impossible. Eating and drinking unassisted was a nightmare. Suffered for 9 days. Honestly, I'd rather deal with Covid symptoms than having a screwed up back or neck.

[@mikehawk120]

Same here. Had it twice and the worse thing I had to deal with was the anxiety of getting it as it was surrounded with fear/death etc.

[@max41050]

I get more anxiety from listening to stupid liberals than covid. I probably already got covid once last year but no jab here after 20 days of taking plenty of vitamin D and C plus Zinc it went away and I'm good as new because I don't have to worry of side effects because of the jab. My immune system is stronger than the jab.

not when bidet sleeps with china.....

[@BlownMacTruck]

What exactly would you have countries do? If you go by the explanation that it’s zoonotic, then it’s no one’s fault, as that could happen anywhere. If you say it came from a lab, you can’t do anything unless you had irrefutable proof of which there is none.

[@SuperJK-Man]

The biggest protest you can do is stop buying anything made from China if you want revenge. But good luck with that!

[@ypcomchic]

Because America was paying for the gain of function testing therefore it’s America’s fault. That’s why they are ignoring it. Even more surprising the same lab in 2017 and 2020 used Covid and mixed with pangolin and came up with a variant that killed all six mice that had human ace receptors in them- 100% brain illness. And they didn’t publish it until this month -January 2024. So nice they made that for biological weapon.

[@pm6613]

[@jyo8914]

Yup. I have many friends who lined up for the jab and every booster since, yet they have gotten sick multiple times with the C-19 AND with RSV and the normal flu etc. Their immune system is just shot to hell.

[@Dr_KW]

It's their immune system. A vaccine can only help so much since it's effectively "training " your immune system to spot a virus. Imagine your immune system is your aim while hunting, even if someone points out prey in the forest and tells you to shoot, if your aim sucks, you're going home empty handed.

In our family home of 6…….my 14yr old has never had it. We tested her daily the 2nd time we had it because she drank from my literal Stanley cup the day before I tested positive.

How about telling us to boost our immune system by taking D3 and supplements like magnesium to give us more immunity?!

It's not BS. Lots of people who previously had covid are now being diagnosed with cancer. There's a link.

[@user-qg1if3rg4k]

I dont think I ever got cov7d...but I dont KNOW because they would not test me for antibodies. I dont understand how doctors will not just give you an antibody test just to see if you were EXPOSED to it at some point in your life. I never got shots or got sick during the "pandemic" and I was doing everything as normal. Now, late in Nov of 2019 both my grandson and myself got sick for 2 days....no big deal except the doctors we went to had no advice on what it was nor did they give us any meds. They said "just go home and ride it out, we dont know what it is".... we were fine. This was supposedly pre-cov&d timeframe as the first case in US was supposedly Jan 2020, but it had me thinking we had both gotten it early and thats why we didnt get anything throughout the "pandemic" timeframe. We were not sick enough to be bedridden or anything like that. No testing for cov was available at the time so we were never tested. This was one of the reasons I had gone to a doctor in late 2020 to see if I had developed antibodies, but they refused to test me saying "only people who had covid can get tested for antibodies". Seems like it was all bullshit...I had to get a cov7d test to travel and it was negative....that was in 2021. I am never gonna get a shot for flu or anything mandated by govt.
