I got COVID in January. 2 or 3 days in bed, I was at work the 7th day.

Sorry for your friend.

FWIW I know more people with adverse effects from the vaccine than of COVID, see my other response below.

> I know more people with adverse effects from the vaccine than of COVID,

Unlikely, as we know that more than 5 millions of people suffered the annoying adverse effect of being killed by Covid, but if you have meet an equivalent number of people suffering a worse fate because the vaccines:

1) Congratulations, your social life is legendary and you must be the ultimate animal party. I'm really jealous.

2) Please write a scientific article in Nature, Science or whatever. I guarantee you that you will appear in all the breaking news from coast to coast in the entire planet if you can report a much minor number of cases.

It is simply the truth, I'm not trying to win any argument here.

I don't know anybody that died of COVID, meanwhile a colleague of mine knows 6 persons that died of it. It's just random distribution I guess.

When I say KNOW, I mean someone that I have met at least once. Not someone that I have heard of.

I don't know anybody with long COVID either, nor even hospitalized for it. All the people I know that got COVID were very sick from 2 to 4 weeks then recovered on their own.

Among all these cases I was the least affected, I was sick less than a week and was able to get back to work (I'm not remote) after 7 days.

Here are the adverse effects I know from the vaccines, citing myself:

> I know one man with thrombosis and another one with Guillain Barré syndrome. My sister lost conscientiousness after the second shot. One of my cousin has extraordinary abundant periods. A colleague told me that his running times were much lower than before, he feels always tired since he got vaccinated.
