More bad news. In the quest to avoid a vent the Tx team is recommending " monoclonal antibody injections." I asked "Can it kill me?" "No guarantees whatsoever." Waiting on what's next. Joe

One thing troubling me greatly is how the pandemic is setting us against each other. When you're strong and we'll it's easy to point "at the problem." Except he is my brother. Joe
Prayers your way that you can fight this thing off. Like many have said it seems like a long battle but most are making it out over time and I am sure you well as well.
Yup. Thats why delta worries me, but the long term of the vax also worries me
The first run of this stuff I didn't know anyone personally that had the covid. This time I know a bunch and most were unvaccinated and so far have been fine. This seems to be spreading a lot more for sure. I got the shot as did my wife about 7 months ago. I also get the flu shot and had the shingles shot. Who knows I might turn into some kind is frankenstien before it is all over.

That's a treatment for the already infected, authorized for use in cases of diagnosed mild to moderate Covid-19.
But that's an entirely different topic from vaccination as preventative action.
But there do seem to be issues with that method. This link has the most recent serious info I could find:
Monoclonal Antibody COVID-19 Infusion | CMS
Nope, I was wrong. Apparently it was indeed just authorized as a preventative method:
FDA authorizes Covid antibody treatment as preventive after exposure

Glad to hear that you're on the mend.
Wife and I both had covid-19, nowhere near as bad as you though. Still, it wasn't fun.
We're both fully vaccinated now, and if they recommend a booster shot, we'll get it.

Had the COVID in November. Got it at work as a first responder. Had all the symptoms but mostly mild. And they did linger. Got both shots early this year. First **** made me tired for 36 hours. The second one whipped me out for 36 hours. Spent the day sleeping on the couch. My wife got vaccinated also. She is an ER nurse. We are going to get the booster shot when it's available. I'm not too worried about getting the breakthrough Delta. But, I am worried for my wife.

Your wife is a hero for doing what she is doing. From everything I have heard recently if she does get it being vaccinated she should be fine. Also as you know the hospitals take a lot of precautions and that should help keep her safe.
prayers for the best outcome for you...
In consultation with and on the advice of my Oncologist I am scheduled for my third Pfizer dose on Wednesday based upon my prior treatment. He, and his team, saved my life 5 years ago and I trust them completely. I know there are quite a few cancer patients and survivors here and I urge you to consult your trusted doctor! Please don't respond here to question or argue about the vaccine or virus, that is not my intent here. It is a personal choice and I made it based upon my most trusted medical advisors and their advice.

Pharmer, thanks for sharing your experience so candidly...best wishes to you for a quick and full recovery.
To my brothers and sisters here on the Forum: Please, I beg you, get the vaccine if you haven't already done so. It can literally save your life...and it will help our society as a whole achieve the herd immunity we need to defeat this virus.
We are so blessed to live in a modern era, one in which our medical scientists were able to develop a safe and effective vaccine against this plague in less than a year...that's astonishing! It really is a miracle...let's all take advantage of it.
Please...get the vaccine. Best wishes to you all for good health.

As I understand it, Covid 19 is of a family
of viruses which pharmas were pretty much
aware of for at least a decade.
The development of the vaccine came quickly
because of prior research and development.
Exactly - years worth in fact.
The miracle was cutting the FDA red tape to allow several stages of the development/testing/approval process to be completed concurrently in parallel instead of having to be done consecutively one at a time.
