Weird how people started getting these side effects from the "experimental mRNA gene therapy" several months before the vaccination programmes started...

If you don't have a source for that, you should put it back where it came from.

I've recently realized that I've been unusually tired, daily, and lack the usually high ambition and drive I had prior to January 2020, which is when I caught COVID.

I never got the vaccine and I'm curious if my symptoms are related to COVID, or related to being a few years older, or changes to exercise schedules, or a general change in life outlook after the past few years, or even mild depression or something. It may even be completely psychosomatic.

I'm considering getting the vaccine just to see if it makes a difference. I'm curious if anyone else is/was in a similar situation.

This will be extremely interesting to see play out. Unless I'm mistaken, there isn't a "testable" marker to determine/backup if people are still experiencing Covid symptoms. Insurance companies aren't going to want to play nice for both treatment and disability payouts, but the number of people with the condition is likely too large to sweep under the rug as might normally occur.

I have no idea how things will go, but I'm guessing it'll get ugly before it gets better.
