23. My vaccinated husband got Covid and several months later is still suffering after effects from it

Mar 2022

As far as treatments go, we asked for the monoclonal antibodies or anti-viral pill and our doctor said they were being rationed and nothing was available to us except some prednisone! I've been with my husband for over 30 years and he's had plenty of colds and flu and this was like 10x worse. He thought he was going to die. He believed he was protected and took his mask off at work. He was infected at work by a still contagious coworker a week after the CDC changed the quarantine guidelines to 5 days. I'm still furious about this.

I agree, you relax when you can so you can enforce when you must Johnny2X2X Mar 2022 #6

I think the "Covid is just the flu" talking point has been debunked pretty thouroughly Blues Heron Mar 2022 #24
