Summary
Owl 69278 has had symptoms for over 3.5 years by March 2024 and got COVID-19 before vaccines were available. The first COVID-19 vaccine brought a sudden, dramatic improvement, described as seeing the world in high definition again, but it faded or stopped. Booster doses made no significant difference, and they remained ill, saying life sucks as it is.
