No lifting, hard to focus, tired earlier than usual, etc.
It’s been a week and I am just now feeling better. To be fair I also had some trouble sleeping due to allergies and a sore throat, but I thought I would share that the 3rd covid booster (I got Moderna) was a kick in the balls.
To be clear - the benefits are great - the numbers show that a fully vaccinated person is far less likely to get severe covid symptoms (like only 5-10% as someone unvaccinated) and half as likely to develop long covid. Please get vaccinated.
Also, I want to be clear that the weather is shifting dramatically where I live, I have allergies, and I’ve been going through a lot emotionally (coming out of my shell) all of which contribute to me not feeling physically great.
Yeah true. I probably will get the vaccine anyway. I’m very privileged to get my fourth shot already and a minor inconvenience is better than long covid of course.
Low trust in public health + no education via public health = low vaccination rates.
I love to whip out the fact that in China, they have like 90%+ vaccination rates and never implemented a vaxx mandate. No need to force people to do something when you’ve educated them on the situation.
In the West, the voices being amplified are too busy minimizing covid to actually educate anyone. It has been insane watching the people who didn’t believe covid existed come to grips with the fact that it exists but still not understand just how bad they got played. It’s a total clusterfuck.
