Good god. I had covid twice, once before the vaccines and once after being vaxxed. I had a month of bad brain fog after each. It's terrifying to think I was going to work and driving while my brain was leaking.

Capitalism's gotta make sure you earn those profits for shareholders. Strokes be damned.

Right!? I was sick for two weeks each time. I couldn't have taken anymore time off. Deep down I knew I probably shouldn't have been working during the worst of the fog but I needed the money.
