With my own immunological and autoimmune conditions I keep a daily record of symptoms/problems to help track some of my trends and variables. I was able to revisit what I recorded after the previous Covid vax 7 months earlier, and it was nearly exactly the same - just slightly milder and not nearly as prolonged.
Having an actual Covid infection just one month after the latest vaccination seems to further raise the question of risk vs benefit.
The infection itself resolved in 10 days with relative ease and without much carryover.
I am wondering if I now have better resistance to Covid than what the vaccination provided, and how long that may persist.
I don’t know what I’ll do when it’s time again to decide vax or no vax - other than maybe get a Covid antibody test prior to, weigh some outside opinions, and then follow my best instinct.
It will be past my time, but I do hope “Star Trek” medicine will morph from fantasy to reality. I guess in some ways, it’s already in process.
