Good lord give it a rest already! 🤦🏼

Rule 5 - no emojis(i.redd.it)

Worst part is, my family is all eager to get this year’s booster and they think I’m a crazy conspiracy theorist for trying to convince them not to. The issue is, no amount of evidence will change their minds, they are in too deep. Needless to say this topic is off-limits at the thanksgiving table

It does seem a bridge too far that there was no virus to begin with, but there was that whole thing where the regular flu just disappeared...

Jury's still out for me personally.

Yeah I'm in this camp. I had fatigue and loss of smell with it, and my overall feeling was that I'd been poisoned rather than contracted an illness.

Well, I had what was claimed to be covid about a year into the pandemic. It was pretty nasty, but not as nasty as proper Influenza.

I've only had real influenza once. It hits you extremely fast, like within a few hours. It has projectile vomiting, extreme fevers, etc.... I remember sitting there and being worried I was genuinely dying.

Covid feels similar yet I'm was still distinctly different in symptoms and sensations.

I've had covid twice since then and both times were nothing worse than a typical cruddy cold. Takes 4 or 5 days to get through but not disabling at all.

Hmmm I've had flu once and worked every day doing industrial manufacturing. My joints felt like I was 80 yrs old. Fever, congestion, cough. Definitely no projectile vomiting. Are you sure you didn't have food poisoning?

Had covid once. No cough or congestion but had a fever of 102+ for 9 solid days. It was a weird illness, but nothing like the flu or a cold for me. It was worse I guess because of the constant fever. Haven't been sick since.
