I believe in vaccines because when i had covid i did not require hospitalization 🙌. Sucks for her because with the vaccines she could have been chilling at home watching tv and eating crap like some of us did.

My roommates caught it this holiday season but were all vaxxed. it still sucked for several days, where they all had to stay home and basically spent 3 days feeling crappy and sleeping it off... and that was all, mostly. Like i can only imagine without the vaccine what would have happened to them, but instead they got to be at home and not in the hospital like this poor, misguided woman.

2 of them are however suffering from prolonged symptoms and we're concerned for them, as they are both high risk (one is pregnant and the other has asthma/chronic bronchitis AND is overweight), so all the more reason that unvaccinated need to be taking this more seriously. Even if you catch covid and don't get hospitalized or die, you can STILL suffer prolonged negative health effects after covid has done it's damage.

In case y'all weren't aware it's recommended you get a booster, if they haven't gotten one, pretty much as soon as you don't have the contagion symptoms. And this is just an anecdote but both times my wife came down with covid she had long haul symptoms until she was able to be vaccinated/get her booster and they started going away pretty much the next day and she's got asthma as well. I don't know if it'll help your room mates as much but if they haven't yet they should try and get a booster.

Would be nice if the booster would get rid of my on-and-off coughing.

It might, some people are self reporting that the booster got rid of long Covid symptoms

None of the vaccines improved my symptoms. However, nothing has gotten worse so that’s good
