was having my ass kicked by covid yesterday, legit felt worse than i did without a vaccine (back in like november of 2020 i think when vaxes werent out yet). had maybe 3 days of symptoms up till then. cue my shock when i go to sleep for 14 hours and wake up feeling awesome. as day goes on im still not 100% but i feel way better. maybe in another 4-7 days i'll be at 100%.

shit dragged on forever on my first run with covid. so my impression is that the vaccine, at least for me, drastically reduced the length of covid but not the severity of it

nowhere else to post this so im doing it here

    It's a fucking insane breakthrough. mRNA vaccines:

    • Can be manufactured 1000% faster than traditional vaccines.
    • Are at least 95% cheaper to manufacture than traditional vaccines.
    • Require facilities 99% smaller to manufacture - like a single room in a traditional facility would be enough to produce more than the entire building previously.

    This is what many antivaxx people are missing when they talk about how "usually it took years to produce a vaccine"; we had a breakthrough, and it stands on decades of research. We were, indeed, lucky.
