I got covid before I was allowed to get the first vaccines and I'm still pissed about that since I drove by the closest vaccination spot every day for work and it was almost always empty. I lived in a very red area so it was very much a case of "doors are open but nobody's lining up" but I was still not part of o e of the groups they allowed to get one yet.
So yeah, I will be continuing to keep up on it, because that was the worst 2 months of my adult life, and I am absolutely certain I got some of the cognitive side effects of covid.
What a weird question to ask, NYT
It's an article about the stats of vaccination rates, and a lot of structural explanations for why those rates have dropped (mostly loss of funding for covering the uninsured or paying for getting the vaccines to nursing homes or the disabled). It's an important discussion.
If we can't have universal healthcare I would at least like the goverment to cover all vaccines folks are eligible for. The cost to benefit ratio should just make it a no brainer.
You can still get it after the vaccine as well.
The vaccines help a lot, but don’t think you can’t ever catch it. Gotta remain somewhat cautious still.
I'm pretty sure I've gotten it since getting the vaccine and boosters, but it was super mild in comparison.
Basically I figured it was a cold until I stopped smelling things again for a couple days, but in under a week I was fine. No test to confirm.
If I'm going to be in close proximity to people I still wear a mask, but my day-to-day allows me to avoid people for the most part.
