Some anecdata... (two doses of Moderna, still haven't gotten the third shot available here and that's on me for not making time) Got covid in the spring, lost

Some anecdata... (two doses of Moderna, still haven't gotten the third shot available here and that's on me for not making time) Got covid in the spring, lost my sense of taste, but it started gradually coming back after about six months. Got it again a month ago, lost my senses of smell and taste, also have a persistent cough, persistent tinnitus, tiredness, and more frequent migraines.

  Sorry not sure what you are implying here. The boss died of what at 49?

    I'm not implying anything. The people that want to use this anecdata for their purposes will say that it's really odd a healthy active guy dying suddenly in his sleep at 49 is very rare when he was operating regularly on Wednesday at work and didn't make it to Thursday. What he actually died of, heart attach or brain aneurysm, or blood clot of some kind doesn't really matter because it fits their narrative either way.

      If it's not an implication, and it doesn't matter, then why was it brought up here? Nobody is denying that people die randomly, the question here is the whether there is a subset of people who have symptoms and die randomly that can be attributed to covid. It seem like the actual implication is that covid cannot be the cause of anyone's symptoms or deaths and that this is much to do about nothing... which imo to totally rule out covid for anything is absurd.

        He never had covid to anyone's knowledge, atleast he never took any time off for it and never showed symptoms. All we know is he was vaccinated, went to the gym, was energetic at work, and died in his sleep. I was just making a point that covid related anecdata exists on all sides. In response to the guy above me giving out his singular anecdata point. Edit: also, I had met the guy 3 years ago and talked for 10+ minutes.. and now he's dead at 49. So it was top of mind.

        Here's a scary thought: everyone who's ever gotten vaccinated against COVID will die. Eventually. Just like everyone else.

        Here's a scary thought more scary than your platitude. In 5-10 years, we might find that everyone that got the vaccine does die like everyone dies.. except they die several years earlier than average.

        I don't see how my own personal views matter in regards to what I said. Even if I was pro vax, and had every booster under the sun, I could still just as easily post about how people on all sides of the covid spectrum have their own anecdata points... And bring up my coworker worried the vaccine is unsafe because his vaccinated and boosted boss, that seemed perfectly healthy, died in his sleep last week and now he's wondering if it was the vaccine.
