Vaxxed and got Covid twice, most recently over Labor Day weekend. My brother was unvaxxed and got over it in less than a week. I was sick and sickish three days to three weeks and even now no taste, and only occasional smells.
Strange to get a whiff of something and think,oh, great, and then it disappears a minute later. Like your brain canceled the smell.
Salt-is my flavor.
We're unvaxxed and seem to be getting over these bugs better than our vaxxed son. He is under employer mandate, but I think he would otherwise not have taken the shots. He works in an ER and didn't get sick at all in 2020 and early 2021 despite ongoing contact with sick people. After getting the shots in the summer of 2021 he's been catching one thing or another about once a month. He caught COVID just before Christmas and was sent home from work for 10 days. He goes back to work tomorrow but is still pretty congested, coughing and sleeping poorly. His dad and I are recovering faster from his 'gift'. I'm pretty worried about the long-term impact of these shots.
