The vaccine doesn't prevent anyone from contracting Covid.You know what struck me as odd after I was vaccinated three different times and still got COVID a few weeks after the last "vaccination?"
It's function is to reduce symptoms & the likelihood of
severity & hospitalization. It does that well.
But as we all know about life....there are no guarantees.
But we do what's useful because it improves our odds.
Drugs do have side effects.I was prescribed Paxlovid and I took the first dose of it, which had the same symptoms as COVID by the way, and was immediately struck with a terrible, metallic taste in my mouth, malaise, etc.
Bummer.Maybe it was just because I had COVID, who knows. But I stopped taking the Paxlovid and as soon as it was out of my system but while I still had a low-grade fever (my fever never got above around 100 F), all the other symptoms of COVID went away as quickly as they came. I had a fever for four days and was fever free for 24 hours before I returned to work. The only other symptom of COVID that I had was a mild cough that lasted a coupla weeks. But for the short amount of time I was on that Paxlovid I had every symptom of COVID imaginable, and I was told I would probably "rebound" too - ummmm, no thanks!
This shows why it's good to avoid human contact
as much as possible. Have you tried wearing an
unlaundered kilt? Works wonders keeping the
masses at bay.
