When Covid hit my wife was super afraid of Long Covid but I thought that shit wouldn’t get it. Now I’ve been living in my bed for two years because I’m too weak for much else. Yeah, changed my mind about that one.
A friend of mine was in a similar situation. He’s by no means an antivaxxer, but he was skeptical about the covid shot due a lot of public misinfo (rushed, mRNA vaccines not having a proven track record, etc), and his stance was in effect “At some point, but right now we don’t know enough about the long term effects”.
Then a friend of his ended up with long covid, and I think it dawned on him that we don’t know the long term effects of the illness itself either.
I’m happy to share that he’s now up to speed on all of his vaccines, covid and 5G included.
