I figured this might be good for the forum. Curious about other people’s thoughts. Forgive me for being lengthy about it!
So, my wife and I managed to make it two whole years without getting Covid. My wife‘s been vaccinated and boosted, and I received a three shot initial series and received one booster. Since being vaccinated, we’ve been as active as we’ve ever been with traveling, attending events, and we work our normal jobs in contact with the public. We’ve been in close contact with Covid+ people without getting infected. Despite living in FL, we’ve worn masks where and when appropriate, and feel like we’ve “done our part”, but had a feeling we were either getting lucky or that we were next.
We were invited to a get together last month by an extended family member where we didn’t really know anyone else, but thought we should go anyway. We quickly realized we were amongst some folks of opposing political views (not uncommon amongst people we find ourselves around), but as always, conversation turns to Covid. The most vocal of the group (he made sure to let us know HIS president was still Trump) was a chiropractor who despised masks, vaccines, and worshipped Tucker Carlson. Fast forward four days, and I start coughing out of the blue, but had no other symptoms. A few days later, my head is congested and I’m coughing practically non-stop. My wife’s family member contacts her to let her know she’s now positive for Covid. My wife had just started feeling lousy, so we each take a home test and come up positive immediately. Via my wife’s family member, we find out over the next few days that several of the people who attended this get together have tested positive. Ironically, the Trump-humping antivax chiropractor was “rushed to the hospital” by ambulance with trouble breathing. And yes, I’ve searched and searched for a FB page for this guy, but couldn’t find anything. I also didn’t hear anything about him since then, but my question is: how happy should I be about this, or am I a terrible person for feeling this way? Like, karma’s a bitch, right? Because, not only did my wife and I just spend the past two weeks feeling absolutely miserable (and didn’t test negative for 16 days after initial symptoms onset!), but we had to cancel a trip to the Caribbean not to mention miss a ton of work.
I would be raging! I hope that he will be treated like a pariah by your Wife’s extended family. If he ever comes near either of you again make cross signs with your fingers and shout ‘Unclean, unclean!’ Also, report his business for having rats on the premises, plague rats. Rant over, glad you were both vaccinated and didn’t end up with severe symptoms. Feel sorry for you that you felt miserable and had to miss your trip. He stole your time, I hope he is plagued by ill health for the rest of his hopefully short life.
First of all, I wish you and your wife a speedy recovery. I commend you for trying your best by vaxxing and trying to be careful.
As for that chiropractor, fuck him. As a medical specialist, it is disgraceful that he would not only fail to take proper precautions for himself but is willing to expose others to a potentially fatal virus because he is too fucking selfish and stubborn to care about others. Hippocratic Oath? In his case, it seems more like he took the Hypocritical Oath.
He a chiroquacktor so he is somewhere on a list. He has an internet presence working for someone or himself. He is findable. He has to have a presence or gets no work. If he is a member of an chiroquack organisation he is on a visible list. If he needs a licence to work he is on a visible list. He may have a presence under a business name but pound to penny he is on a website and a Fakebook page to get more suckers. Find out his list and you find him. Us folks can find him if you give us a start on where to look.
I am sorry you got sick.
did your chiropractor infector DIE? any update?
We've missed you Punch! Hope you and your wife are feeling better. Hope you will be back!
The fact that the Trump-humper ended up in the hospital with trouble breathing is wonderful news. It made the whole story worthwhile. I wish we had his profile so we could find out if/when he ends up dead from COVID.
Happy about trump humper getting covid? Someone who sounds like he might be your infection vector and doubtful would feel bad if he infected anyone and they lost work, were sick an extended time, or even died?
Sounds reasonable to me.

First, I’m so sorry that you and your wife had to suffer covid and miss a wonderful vacation.
Second, please follow this guys progress bc even if his social media is clean, we know he is an AVPOS.
Can‘t wait to read his obit.
A militant anti-vaxxer who worships Tucker Carlson? Uhm, has anyone told that imbecile that Tucker Carlson is vaccinated?
Covidiots such as that chiropractor are the reason the pandemic is still going as strong as it is! I have less than zero sympathy for him.
Warms my heart to think of him being carted off unable to breathe.
I mentioned to a pal on the phone last week that I'm not keen on gatherings these days. Don't really enjoy being around anyone who is breathing. So picnics in the graveyard it is!
Hope Jebus kicks that chiropractors ass and digs his grave. As someone who despises every trump loving bastard, I hope your profile of the jerkoff appears here! Hopefully you guys are feeling better soon!
I would be pissed that he infected me and would not be feeling bad at all about his outcome. Your story is a good reminder not to get too complacent about covid. So far I and my spouse have avoided being infected and I would like things to stay that way.
Thanks for sharing. Your experience is classic in that you got hit with coronavirus that had time to multiply by billions or even trillions in Trump-worshiping meat, making infection in humans in the same household or office space virtually certain. Thankfully, your infection and your wife’s infection never fucked up your lungs, and this is because both you and your wife were adequately vaccinated.
The problem now becomes “long-covid”, and I’m hoping you don’t have to suffer from that. My son was too lazy to get a booster to J&J, got sick at the turn of the year, was on the shelf for almost three weeks, and STILL suffers from a persistent cough four months later. He for sure got boosted in January, after his experience, but it’s not helping him regarding a possible case of long-covid.
Last but most certainly not least, FUCK THAT GUY. I really don’t care about his politics; I can respect a differing point of view (except the part of that view is racist in nature, and worships at the alter of Trump’s balls and the cynical-ultimate Fucking-Son-of-Carl), but to be so irresponsible a
