was having my ass kicked by covid yesterday, legit felt worse than i did without a vaccine (back in like november of 2020 i think when vaxes werent out yet). had maybe 3 days of symptoms up till then. cue my shock when i go to sleep for 14 hours and wake up feeling awesome. as day goes on im still not 100% but i feel way better. maybe in another 4-7 days i'll be at 100%.
shit dragged on forever on my first run with covid. so my impression is that the vaccine, at least for me, drastically reduced the length of covid but not the severity of it
nowhere else to post this so im doing it here
Glad you're getting through it so quickly. Did you get boosted as well? I have several friends who got 2 doses but not boosters and they all got hit hard by this new wave.
yeah i got boosted 1 week before catching it cause i intended to go to christmas party. didnt catch it at the party
Gotcha, thanks for sharing your experience comrade. I'm desperately hoping that the sheer contagiousness of Omicron convinces some of the anti-vax crowd to start taking this shit seriously, but I know it's far too late for that anyway :deeper-sadness: I hope you feel 100% very soon!
Doesn't it take two weeks to kick in? I think you weren't even at full boostification yet
