Whether you are vaccinated or anti-vax, you should read this. Being informed is the best thing you can do to understand CoVid19 which seems to be the perfect killing machine.
When our oldest daughter was hospitalized with the Delta variant of CoVid and almost died, I felt helpless. I turned to the only thing I could do: research.

I couldn't be with her at the hospital, but I could read and learn all I could about this horrible disease as well as acquaint myself with what lay ahead.
Fortunately, our daughter survived, but she is still trying to recover. She has a long road ahead of her.
My cousin's 41-year-old son did not make it. Neither did an author friend's 39-year-old-son.
My friend and former neighbor is in her 2nd month of hospitalization, trying to beat CoVid. That's right 2 months with most of that on a ventilator.
By the way, neither our oldest daughter nor the three patients mentioned above were immunized. Just saying.
Why Does CoVid Kill Some Perfectly Healthy Adults & Not Others
The first thing I wanted to know was why CoVid kills some people and not others. I wanted real facts from doctors who treat the disease and microbiologists who are conducting research studies around the world.
I also wanted it explained in easily understood language since I'm not a doctor. I started out with Google Search Engine Results Pages, but those SERPs were all written in technical language. That wasn't what I wanted.
I went to YouTube and found a wealth of solid information that I could understand. There are many doctors vlogging about CoVid.
Two channels I found that gave stunning information in a format that is easily accessible were
Dr. Mike Hansen, a Board Certified Pulmonologist who is also Board Certified in Critical Care and Internal Medicine.
Dr. Hansen has an entire
CoVid playlist of his videos discussing the disease. I subscribed to the channel and went back to the beginning of the CoVid invasion then watched all of his videos in order.
I wanted to have a thorough understanding of what happened and when it happened. I also wanted to understand the progression of the disease, treatments that were tried and discarded and why they didn't work.
MedCram dissects CoVid19 research studies from all over the world as well as other studies.
Of particular interest are these videos:
Our Future With CoVid
On June 15, the CDC listed the COVID-19 delta variant as a "variant of concern." On August 1 is when our daughter in Texas contracted the Delta variant. Its more contagious, more dangerous, less susceptible to available treatments, and harder to detect until it may be too late.
Her disease progressed fast. She was hospitalized a week after getting it.
You may not know but CoVid19 mutated into other variants fairly quickly: alpha, beta, gamma, and delta. It's continued to mutate, combatting the treatments that researchers find. It's changing fast, and that's bad news. You'll be shocked to learn that there are 8 other VOIs, that's Variants of Interest, out there.
Mu is the latest to cause alarm. It was added to the WHO (World Health Organization) list on August 30, 2021. It was first found in Colombia in January 2021 and has now been found in 39 countries, including the U.S.

Bottom Line Truth
I worry about people who have preconceived ideas about immunizations. Especially if those ideas are based on what Facebook groups and friends or relatives say if those people are not medical professionals backed up by dozens of factual studies.
Statements that are nothing but opinions based on fear and personal attitudes toward the government, the medical community, conspiracy theories, and authority figures can be dangerous to one's health.
Do your own research—real research backed up by facts, not opinions and fear mongering. Whatever you find should be affirmed by similar studies from many different doctors, microbiologists, epidemiologists, and other researchers—not by 1 doctor in Idaho or a celebrity you like and admire.
If you are basing your health information on anyone who does not have proper medical credentials, you could be putting yourself and your loved ones at risk.
Takeaway Truth
Regardless of what you currently believe, keep an open mind. Know your enemy, and make no mistake. CoVid is the enemy. Only with true information can we defeat this life-altering/life-ending virus. Or at least survive it as it continues to mutate. Be safe, not sorry.
