    6 state workers sue Brown, OHA director over vaccine mandate

    PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Six Oregonians are suing Governor Kate Brown and the head of the Oregon Health Authority over the recently announced vaccine mandate. Six people, all represented by the Freedom Foundation, have filed a lawsuit over the governor’s order that requires all state, healthcare and school employees to be fully vaccinated by October 18 — or risk termination. The complaint claims all plaintiffs have previously been infected with COVID-19 and are therefore naturally immunity to the virus that has killed over 650,000 people in the United States alone.

    Coronavirus RecoveryMost people who get COVID-19, the disease caused by a coronavirus called SARS-CoV-2, will have only mild illness. But what exactly does that mean?Mild COVID-19 cases still can make you feel lousy. But you should be able to rest at home and recover fully without a trip to the hospital. Here’s what to expect and how to take care of yourself.Coronavirus Recovery RatesScientists and researchers are constantly tracking infections and recoveries. But they have data only on confirmed cases, so they can’t count people who don’t get COVID-19 tests. Experts also don’t have information about the outcome of every infection.

    I was fully vaccinated and caught it. I only had fairly minor symptoms though, and only got tested because I felt unsteady on my legs the second day. Otherwise it was comparable to a bad allergy flare-up or a cold starting. There are absolutely more breakthrough cases than reported. I think the reported numbers might be low just because most people aren't going to get tested for it as soon as they start feeling like they have bad allergies or a cold coming on. We're getting it, it's just not as severe for most people.

    Where does Tim Boyle get off calling Biden a leader? This is communism at work, people that have been vaccinated are still dying. boycott these companies, we have our constitutional rights, if you stand up for yourself. to call Biden a leader following the science, I don't think so.
