At about 4:00 A.M. my fever broke. By morning I was feeling completely normal again. A week later we went elsewhere to get anti-body testing and I had strong anti-bodies for Covid. I obviously got the real thing but unfortunately my wife got the placebo. While I am happy that I am now protected I really wish that she were the one to have gotten the protection. So I am now both fairly happy for me but really sad for my wife. As Americans I think we should do our part. These studies are well controlled and I think quite safe. As aside, they are also almost fun to do.  |
That's great news, early results from the RNA vaccines sound encouraging fingers crossed.
I received a Placebo in the Pfizer trial but hopefully the control group will get access to the real thing early.
