Not wanting to debate vaccines but I have to throw this in. When I got Covid early on in the pandemic, before there were vaccines, the first symptom besides a raging headache was loss of taste & smell. I ended up in the hospital but thankfully recovered. Since then I’ve had Covid 2 more times each less severe. I’ve also had the Covid vaccines. Moderna caused a bad reaction but Pfizer was ok.
I feel like I never fully recovered from having the original Covid variant. But the vaccines didn’t change anything after. I know it was the virus itself that messed with my immune system.
Everyone is different & I don’t think the scientific community knows enough yet even though much has been learned about the immune system, including autoimmune diseases from studies on long Covid. Vaccines have helped many people and have possibly hurt as well. Hopefully we can keep learning but for now everyone has to make that decision whether to take the vaccines with guidance from their doctor who, hopefully they trust.
