Summary
Hill 30350 caught COVID in late 2020 and was left with terrible brain fog, poor focus and memory, and constant wheezing. A second Pfizer dose cleared both their cognition and their breathing, but a booster in late 2021 brought the memory and focus problems back, and getting sick again did the same. Their lungs stayed clear, but the brain fog had not resolved by May 2024.
