Completely agree. I am just thankful to the worldwide scientific community to come up with a solution in such a record time. At this point I am just hopeful that this ordeal ends with Omicron and we can all go back arguing about the dangers of 5G technology

But only scientists who have been bought and paid for by Big Pharma!

I think I had covid this week. I had a stuffy nose, slight sore throat, felt a little feverish on Wednesday. I feel completely fine today but for the past 3 days I haven’t been able to taste or smell a thing.

The mosquito bite stuff isn't necessary.

I also know a few people who have had covid along with no symptoms.

I'm going to disagree.

NewfieMama is not my opponent. Please mind your own business.

How is their private medical information germane to anything here?

If the only available vaccine was J&J, I would pass.

Says the person I wasn't responding to.

The taste & smell is a dead giveaway.
