This post is already fascinating. I live in a part of the country where we know just as many people who had Covid than who haven’t. Several of the posts here report side effects from the vaccine that are worse than most of our friend’s symptoms from Covid.
Really? Sore arms, headaches, and fatigue are most of what I’m reading here.
The people I’ve known with COVID-19, some of them were out of work for weeks and couldn’t go about their daily life during that time. One is a teenager (16 or so?) who was nearly hospitalized because his symptoms were so persistent. One friend who was in the hospital for several weeks and on oxygen when he was finally released.
Yes, some who had COVID-19 had few problems from it. Some had pretty bad problems from it. Personally, I’m happier with a sore arm than I would be risking being completely knocked out for weeks. Maybe I’d be just fine. Maybe I’d be very sick. Maybe I’d be in the hospital. But having had the shot and the side effects from it, I’ll take that over even the risk of a rough infection.
