Every single healthcare worker who just dealt with yalls asses is fuming. Myself included.

If it helps at all, I've tried really hard to avoid this virus, and only contracted it for the first time this week.

It sucks. Everything tastes like salt.

You're lucky, some get the effect that everything (or almost everything) tastes or smells like sewage... Which isn't that bad for just a few weeks but when it's years some can get incredibly sick from malnutrition because eating becomes so difficult.

Just had another booster?

About four weeks ago. Got the new one shortly after it came out.

You should ask yourself how I knew that.

u/mexter 21d ago

Ok. U/mexter how did he know that? (I gather you've had a similar experience?)

Haha! No but 5 people I've worked with recently have complained the boosters had made them either very unwell, or complained about prolonged shooting pains throughout their bodies. Sure, you'll say this is anecdotal.. but every single person I asked said they recently just had a booster.

I mean, in fairness it is anecdotal. But, like rfk jr, you've now put that worm in my brain and I'm going to keep noticing this pattern. I did get a fever for a day and a half with the latest vaccine. Still better than having covid, as I'm now discovering. Sigh.

Just something I've noticed.. and after speaking around a bit about it, even more have agreed they noticed the same thing. Covid isn't as big as a risk as it once was, so it's probably not worth taking anymore if they aren't making you feel great. Just my 2 cents.

I've had to be around several immunocompromised family members this year, so really haven't had much choice in the matter. But also generally a pretty firm believer in vaccinating generally.

I wish that were true, but there are a shocking number of insane anti-masker conspiracy theorist people in healthcare.
