Ah, thanks. I had tried googling it and came up empty.
Click on my link. You have to scroll down a bit, but the NYT, Washington Post, and other major old-line outlets ran pieces about the disbarment. I would agree that the general run of social media ignored it.

I hadn't either. I thought IvanK was being facetious in the earlier post.

Spring 2021 I had the same concerns, I currently have no concerns. Hopefully you will be 100% soon.
Sucks GB and that Paxlovid taste is f'ing horrible, almost as bad getting Covid again.I've been laid out since Sunday, this is the worst I've been sick in a very long time. I can't stay awake for **** and get winded just getting up to go to the bathroomI'm going to Vegas next Saturday for 4 days so I'm hoping this runs its course over the next 7 days and I'm able to enjoy it.
Tested positive yesterday morning. Placed a call to my doc and after a telehealth chat, got Paxlovid prescribed to me. 1st dose down by noon. I feel a little better but I'm tired and get exhausted doing little things like cleaning cat litter, taking trash out, going up stairs. I want to sleep but it is a restless sleep at best with constant wakeup. Headache and fever still around. No appetite at all.
The bitter metallic taste Paxlovid leaves in my mouth might be the worst of it, though. I'm chewing gum like Pete Carroll over here.
I've got tickets to the Deion show Saturday so I'm hoping I kick it by then!
ETA: triple vaxxed this is my first rodeo with Covid. Only one in my family to escape it until now.
Good luck brother. I hope whatever decision you make is the right one for you!
There never took the vaccine, right?
I would not get the booster.
I got mine but I was partially motivated by wanting protection for an upcoming trip to Hawaii that had been previously cancelled twice due to covid.
51, healthy weight on no meds. I'm getting it as soon as possible.
My coworker just had it for 3rd time. She's fully Boosted and everything. She said it was really rough. The worst of the 3. Then she told me I should get Boosted. Yeah really helped in her case. She said the paxlovid really helped.
Gotta be out of your mind at this point when it clearly doesn't prevent infection and paxlovid is available for rough cases.
Think about it this way....every time your body is exposed to foreign proteins, it strengthens your immune response. Your philosophy with the flu shot should extend to COVID vaccines.
She got it after the booster they just released? How long after?
No, don't think she got new booster yet. I'm assuming last booster she got was last year's.
Do you think the sprained ankle was a result of Covid or of the vaccine?Welp, I'm no longer immortal. After 3 and a half years of ducking the virus (even when my wife got it 2 years ago, I managed to not get it somehow), I brought home a raging case of Covid (as well as a sprained ankle) from my trip to Pittsburgh last week. Finally tested negative yesterday, but the past 10 days were ROUGH, and that Paxlovid metallic taste is really something awful.
I just want to feel normal again, but I think it's gonna be a while.
My bout didn't last long enough to get to the doctor to get a prescription.Why are folks taking paxlovid? I thought that was really reserved for high risk people? My friend’s wife took it last week, and now has a rebound case. My sister was the same a few months ago. Both normal healthy women.

I asked my doc about it when I got it last January. She said I was in that in-between phase (50, no comorbidities) where I could take it but didn't need to. I opted not to and it ended up being a very mild caseWhy are folks taking paxlovid? I thought that was really reserved for high risk people?

Vaccine and boosters were nothing for me (slight soreness at injection sites). When I got COVID, it was pretty mild. No fever and just a scratchy throat mostly. I would say symptoms lasted about 3 days and it wasn’t half as annoying as some stubborn head colds I’ve previously had. This was last year so I haven’t experienced the new strain yet. I skipped one booster bc it didn’t seem worth it, but have received the latest booster.
My second vaccine dose made me fairly sick. Like a pretty solid cold for maybe 24 hours. That was the only dose that I had a significant reaction to.
Anecdotally: From the people I've known who have had COVID and are ~40 or over, "brain fog", "hard to concentrate", "too tired to think sometimes" and similar have been very common complaints after getting over the respiratory symptom. The women that owns/runs our company was reporting concentration problems a yeah and half after her COVID infection (pre-vaccine) -- she's in her late 50s, but lives in the gym (and looks it).
Covid was much worse for me than both shots & booster.
My reaction to each vaccine shot was the same. 24 hours, mild soreness and malaise, no fever or other cold symptoms.
I took it 4 days in cuz I didn't know I had Covid til then, and as bad as I felt, I was willing to do anything to feel better or shorten the symptoms. I have no idea if it helped, but I didn't test positive til 6 days later, which was last Saturday. Yesterday was the first day I felt normal with no after effects.Why are folks taking paxlovid?

I only got the first vaccine (J&J) a year and a half ago because I was traveling and had to have proof. I haven't got any boosters. The vaccine knocked me down for about 24 hours. Got Covid recently and it was much worse and lasted 10 days.
My wife hasn't had a case of COVID yet, but the vaccine just tears her up. Basically the same as what you described. Down for the count for 3 days. Very painful muscles and joints, bad headache, nausea (due to the pain). She has rheumatoid arthritis, which we suspect is the culprit.
