"Only a small portion of the study participants — about 4 percent — had been vaccinated before their infections, and many of those with only a single dose."

Strong argument for the protective nature of the COVID vaccines. Although the virus certainly appears less damaging now in 2022 as opposed to when it first appeared.

Some anecdata... (two doses of Moderna, still haven't gotten the third shot available here and that's on me for not making time)

Got covid in the spring, lost my sense of taste, but it started gradually coming back after about six months.

Got it again a month ago, lost my senses of smell and taste, also have a persistent cough, persistent tinnitus, tiredness, and more frequent migraines.

I'm an example here. Still have a mostly-broken sense of smell 2.5 years later. My neighbor is on beta blockers in his 30s thanks to Covid.

Check out the stellate ganglion block shot - seems promising for long covid. Hypothesis is that the body is stuck in "fight or flight" mode, and this shot stuns a few of the nerves responsible "long enough" for the autonomic nervous system to "reset."

Some of the reddit anecdotes are pretty amazing.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
