Also my lungs never recovered to the point where they were before I had covid but I'm still active.
A couple days before Christmas I had to cancel a duck hunt as I just felt like krap. You guessed it, I tested positive on Christmas eve.
It was mild and over in a few days.
Now, I don't have an agenda here , I promise you I couldn't give a pile if you get vaxxed or not, wear a mask don't wear a mask, stay inside or go to a UK basketball game...you do you I will do me.
But I am "cautious" (NOT SCARED) and I try to be "smart" with staying safe. I try to remain aware of the fact that I am a diabetic and the first round was a lot more trouble than I anticipated. I've lost 2 close family members to this stuff (they died FROM complications directly attributed to Covid). So I keep that on my mind as well.
And we all know by now the vaccine doesn't prevent you from contracting or spreading this virus.
Masks are better than nothing but they also are not 100% in preventing the spread.
I think the term "vaccine" is grossly misused in this realm.
The term "vaccine" leads one to believe they are now immune and can go about life as usual. This gives a false and dangerous sense of security.
Instead I tend to think of the Covid "vaccine" as a severity of symptom mitigation serum.
You might still contract whatever flavor of the month covid is going around but the "vaccine" may help lessen the damage it causes you. in turn helping you recover quicker.
These are just some thoughts from a covid "super veteran" lol.
You might agree, you might feel like you need to roll your eyes.
like I said before, I don't GAF what you think, you do you I will do me.
Later
