And then there are the people who have gotten it countless times and either a) nothing happens (asymptomatic), or b) they're sick for a few days and then they're back to normal. The latter of which has been my personal experience with it every time -- probably at least four or five times by now -- given my only symptoms to date have ever been "mildly sore throat, and ketchup and ketchup-adjacent condiments taste like hot trash for five days", and it seems to be pretty consistent. That's my COVID test now -- does ketchup, hot sauce, or barbecue sauce taste f-cked up? Then it might be COVID, and even then I've had that symptom but tested negative the entire week.
I'm sorry your friend had a terrible experience with it, but -- and I'm not asking this to be a dick or sound heartless -- but
so what? People get f-cked up from all kinds of things that are generally easily survived with no ill effects due to freak occurrences. Yeah, it sucks. But what do you
want to happen? What's going to make it all better, what's the answer?
You want the Alberta government to start paying for vaccines again, I'm 100% on-board, they should never have stopped covering them in the first place. But that was never enough anyway, we know that; uptake in the population was already too low by dose #3.
So instead of senselessly spiraling about it, what's the desired action that will achieve the desired outcome? There must be some jurisdiction where they're doing it better than us and it can't possibly be the only difference between them and us is the percentage of the population who are abject morons. Because we'll never fix stupid... in fact, it's been illegal since 1972.
