#Medtwitter #Cardiotwitter for the crowd who thinks docs aren't reliable sources of information on COVID vaccines, please consider hearing it directly from this patient who almost died because she waited for Novavax. Translated from DE. Please hear it from @citoyen_lauris .
After a month's break on Twitter, I'm back with my personal Covid experience.
I've been back from the hospital for three days - 19 days of which have been in the intensive care unit. With my new constant companion, the home oxygen.
I was not vaccinated.

On November 20 I got a positive PCR: Delta variant.
I went into quarantine and slept through the first symptoms, until my doctor recommended clinical evaluation.
Lung function decreased rapidly on the first two days in the hospital. Bottomline: 10%.

I realized how close it was when I moved from intensive care to the normal unit. The attending physician said goodbye to me, stepped to my bed and hugged me with tears in his eyes.
During the 19 days of intensive care, I was the only one he was able to step down.

I was very lucky!
Younger unvaccinated and elderly vaccinated died next to me.
My lung function has now improved by 50%. Everyday life is exhausting. After all this, the oxygen I need is steadily reducing.
The rehabilitation is happening in January.

I was waiting for Novavax or Valneva.
That was a mistake that almost cost me my life, and now requires that I take an exhausting road back to normal life.
I'm so happy that I am still here!
But now you have to endure my tweets again.
