Hopefully doing all things to protect ourselves that we know to do....hand washing, distancing, mask wearing (N95 for me), nebulizing, eating well, supplements like D and C etc. etc., help those of us that do decide to limit certain vaccines.
I had not had Covid until Feb. 2024 and it happened after three visits to the Mercy Hospital Pulmonary Rehab facility that did not require mask wearing. I was immediately concerned but said to myself, foolishly, surely they know what they are doing. Well they obviously didn't care about all of us with lung problems. I wound up in the hospital ER. It took me 24 to 48 hours to feel absolutely fine and stopped the Paxlovid early, my choice, my risk. P.S. I called two departments including the manager of the pulmonary rehab department and got nothing but 'cover up' excuses that they apparently felt would seem logical to me. I understand from a person that posts on this Mayo that one of the NY Pulmonary Rehab facilities they went to requires mask wearing.
So, beware.....don't fall down as I did when I allowed myself to foolishly believe they knew best, knew what they are doing....in not requiring mask wearing.
