Reply to comment by saintpetejackboy in Past Covid infection as protective as vaccination against severe illness and death, study finds by kwo9gAtCXCQkeGfrpjGf

It's more likely close enough that it isn't worth mentioning.

COVID blows though get vaccinated and as someone who had COVID (again) recently go get the booster If you haven't. The newest variant is way worse than the others like delta or whatever.

I have permanent arthritis-like pain from having Covid last year. I’ll get boosted every time it’s available. It was also like flu x migraines for 3 solid days. I can’t imagine how bad it would have been had I not been vaxxed.

Permenantly altered sense of taste and smell here. Anything sweet tastes like sour patch kids.

I work with younger people who have almost entirely lost their sense of smell. It seems like a minor issue compared to heart and lung problems, but there are a bunch of studies showing it can lead to depression in a significant amount of people. About a third of people also have a lower sex drive with olfactory loss, which is also troubling. (It’s not related to depression; it’s a whole separate issue.)
