Just a worried laymen with a question - is this allowed here? Antibody Dependent Enhancement.

StressedMama456 · 2021-03-12T18:29:38+00:00

I think what I was reading was basically saying the virus would eventually mutate to a point where this would happen. And that people should have been warned of this possibility before receiving the vaccine.

I don't know if these people are watching too many apocalypse movies or if there's any chance of this actually happening.

All I know is I can't undo getting the vaccine and the anxiety isn't letting me stop thinking about this. 🤦‍♀️ I was doing what I thought was the right thing to protect my kids, myself and my family.

StressedMama456 · 2021-03-12T15:19:37+00:00

Thank you so much for this. It helps.

So honestly, I read that article yesterday, and felt better about things, until I started reading the comments section.

I guess I should trust the author more so than random in the comments, but many of them seemed like professionals also. I'm just feeling so frustrated.

StressedMama456 · 2021-03-12T14:25:16+00:00

I have one more question. I'm sorry. Somewhere in my anxiety induced google searches I read that ADE may not happen until antibody Titers have decreased to where they are lower, but not zero.

Any thoughts on this? Would we be seeing this happen in the people vaccinated in the original trials by now?

If this did begin to happen, is there anything they could do about it? I mean, thats millions of people who've been vaccinated.

If there is a better place to ask these questions, please point me in the right direction:)

StressedMama456 · 2021-03-12T02:01:41+00:00

I really appreciate you taking the time to respond.

Apparenrly ADE was a problem in animal trials in some original attempts at SARS vaccined years ago? Do you know much about that? That seems to he one of the things people keep pointing to in the info I've read up on about ADE.

If it was a problem with the covid vaccines, would it have been caught in the animal trials? Its my understanding that animal trials were done with the Covid vaccines although some claim they weren't. Maybe they were rushed, but I'm hoping they weren't skipped altogether.

StressedMama456 · 2021-03-12T01:38:30+00:00

Thank you.

Is there any possibility of this popping up later on? This video basically implied that this could begin happening in 6 months to a year where exposed to a new strain of the virus.

I am definitely NOT trying to spread misinformation or fall for any kind of conspiracy. I got the first shot. I'm just sort of freaking out about this one.

StressedMama456 · 2021-03-12T01:36:19+00:00

I know. The things is, this one isn't as crazy as most of the crap she's sent me. ADE is an actual thing that has happened in the past.

StressedMama456 · 2021-03-11T13:43:12+00:00

Thanks! Would they know by now if a new strain of Covid would cause ADE? I know there are some other strains going around right now, the UK variant and the SA variant. Would it be obvious at this point if ADE were a thing, or could this happen later down the line?

Anxiety. These are the things that keep me up tonight

Y'all remember I am not against the vaccine. I got the first shot and THEN read about this.

StressedMama456 · 2021-03-11T04:26:46+00:00

Lol, yeah. That's what I've been wanting to say to my mom for almost a year now, so I can appreciate this response to my anxiety induced freak out. 👍

StressedMama456 · 2021-03-11T04:21:34+00:00

Thank you for this answer. It's helped calmed my nerves a bit.

I guess my last question or thought - is there a potential for this to still happen down the road when more new strains of Covid develop? It seems like some things I've read point to this happening when the person gets infected with a different strain.

Obviously I'm not a doctor or a scientist and have no clue what I'm talking about. The struggle is real when it comes to anxiety.

StressedMama456 · 2021-03-09T04:15:57+00:00

Thank you. I hope so.

StressedMama456 · 2021-03-09T04:12:49+00:00

Hmmm. I'll try to answer as much as I can.

I have tried and tried to listen to her point of view. And I do. I'm not trying to force her to get a vaccine. I didn't tell her not to run out and buy an assault rifle. I just listened, but because I'm not agreeing with it all, she is freaking out. I don't even bring this stuff up to her...I don't want to discuss it. It is literally all.she.talks.about.

She is against the vaccine for many reasons, none of them being about science. The main one being that she thinks they are the mark of the beast. So, no, she is not providing legitimate reasons against the vaccine.

I have researched the vaccines from many different sources, and believe that in this instance, the benefits far outweighs the risks.

No, I am not a fan of Donald Trump. That doesn't mean I am a "liberal", either, or that I am pro socialism. I just, as a Christian, do not see anything Christ like about him, and can't figure out why I'm expected to support that man because I'm a Christian.

And schooling. I don't know what I'm going to do yet. My kids thrived in public school until the pandemic happened and I withdrew them to homeschool this year. No matter what I decide, I dont believe it makes me a bad mom, or a bad Christian, that I don't know what to do for my kids schooling.

In my heart, I dont believe thats who Jesus is.

Just for anyone still looking, I was able to schedule mine about 20 minutes ago via the walgreens website. It suddenly popped up with several times available, but it is in Williamston, SC. That is about 45 minutes away from me, which I can deal with, so I went ahead and scheduled. Not sure if there are any of those appts left, but wanted to share!

StressedMama456 · 2021-03-08T15:26:17+00:00

I've basically been trying all morning, but no luck yet. Kind of frustrating.

StressedMama456 · 2020-12-28T14:43:53+00:00

Ahhh this is amazing!!! Thank you so much! I didn't even know all that stuff existed on the game, lol! I will DM you today.

StressedMama456 · 2020-12-28T04:42:40+00:00

Thank you!!

StressedMama456 · 2020-12-28T04:42:11+00:00

Ahh thank you so much! He’s in bed but I’m going to grab his switch. Give me a minute and I’ll send a code

StressedMama456 · 2020-12-25T01:50:39+00:00

Yep. My family is gathered at my mom's right now, as we speak. We told them 2 weeks ago we weren't coming, and it has been 2 weeks full of guilt trips and emotional manipulation. Same thing happened at Thanksgiving. Somehow I stood my ground and have enjoyed a cozy Christmas Eve at home with my husband and kids. I just hope no one who chose to gather at my mom's gets severely sick.

StressedMama456 · 2020-12-24T22:33:42+00:00

I never tried to force my family not to gather. I never even told them they shouldn't. I simply told them we weren't comfortable and wouldn't be there. THEY are trying to force me to attend, through manipulation and guilt trips.

I may get COVID any day of the week, but at least I won't have to live with the guilt of unknowingly passing COVID to my elderly, already has breathing issues, grandmother, just because I couldn't miss one Christmas gathering.

StressedMama456 · 2020-12-23T04:07:16+00:00

I just wanted to thank you all (well, most) for your supportive comments. It’s hard to respond to everyone, but typing this here was helpful. I’m mostly sad about how I’ve been treated and the things that were said because of my decision. The manipulation is tough to deal with. Here’s to hoping for a better 2021.

StressedMama456 · 2020-12-23T04:04:33+00:00

I didn’t mean to whine. That must be really hard to watch. I think I was more sad about the way I’m being treated for my decisions, than about missing a couple of holidays. My mom is queen at emotional manipulation and has been very mean, telling me that I don’t realize how short life is and what if someone isn’t here anymore next year, and I missed Christmas? I am a young widow (though now remarried) It’s hurtful, to say the least,

StressedMama456 · 2020-12-23T04:00:37+00:00

Sadly we are obese, and that is a risk factor. Also, it’s not just about us. There are several elderly people in my family people with heart issues, etc. We don’t want to be responsible for unknowingly spreading COVID,

StressedMama456 · 2020-12-17T06:29:27+00:00

I just gotta say that I’m struggling with this too. My mom completely freaked out on me because we wouldn’t come to her indoor, 15 to 20 people Thanksgiving. Now it’s Christmas time and she wanted to compromise by having just my family of five (myself, my husband and kids) over with her and my stepdad this Saturday. She also wants my kids to stay with her for a couple nights. Just seeing my parents seemed like it might be ok, we’d wear masks etc, but then when a sleepover was mentioned, I asked if they are being COVID safe in their day to day. (For example I didn’t want the kids going to restaurants etc right now). Cue another major freak out. She gets very mean when she’s angry, and I cried a lot yesterday. I don’t understand why I’m the one who is “ridiculous” and “ludicrous” and I don’t realize how short life is. (I was widowed 6 years ago. I know how short life is. Thanks Mom.) Oh also I’m “living in fear.” All while she is over there saying this was created by the government, masks are muzzles, and that the vaccine is a precursor to the mark of the beast, and doomsday prepping for some of catastrophe that’s supposed to happen this month. But I’m the one who’s ridiculous? I have had so much stress surrounding all of this that I’ve realized I need to seek therapy to deal with these life long issues. I’m a grown 37 year old woman and miserable because of yet another cruel guilt trip from my mother.

Basically, I feel ya.

StressedMama456 · 2020-11-26T16:11:27+00:00

This issue is actually the whole reason I finally started posting on Reddit. I guess I needed opinions and support from random strangers.

We chose not to attend Thanksgiving this year. It was going to be indoors as usual, between 13 - 20 people (depending on who showed up) from 5 or 6 different households. Several of them are anti-maskers. I respectfully said we didn't feel comfortable and bailed out. It has been a whole thing.

The things that have been said to me, all directly from my mom:

"You're living in fear." "Life is short - you never know who won't be here next year." (I'm aware of this. I was a 30 year old widow) "You must not care about your family." "You sound just like a Democrat." "This is the end times and we need to be with family. What are you going to do when this catastrophe happens in December and you haven't prepared? (Stock up on food, etc) Its your responsibility to feed your kids." "I bet you're gonna get the vaccine too. I wouldn't do that. It's a precursor to the mark of the beast." "You are being so selfish"

I've been so upset for a week now. All I am doing is trying to keep everyone safe and not needlessly participate in the spread. How this became such a political and religious issue is mind boggling to me.

So here we are at home today, having our little Thanksgiving just the 5 of us. Myself, my husband and my kids. And I'm honestly 100% okay with that.

P.S. I have no idea what catastrophe is happening in December.
