Wendy Borger tested positive for Covid-19 at an urgent care center in Palmerton, Pennsylvania, on Dec. 28. She said she was fatigued, short of breath, and had a headache, heart palpitations and a fever of 103 degrees Fahrenheit. Her oxygen level dipped to 94%.
Borger, who is 50 and suffers from chronic bronchitis, said her lungs felt like a “weapon” when she walked down the stairs or even had a shower. It took almost two weeks before it didn’t hurt to breathe, she said. It’s been more than a month since her diagnosis, and she still isn’t fully recovered.
Despite her suffering, she still won’t get a Covid-19 vaccine shot.
“I’m not a believer in the flu shot, either. I just think that our body needs to fight off things naturally,” Borger, a self-described anti-vaxxer, told CNBC. “I mean, like me, you know, luckily I survived. It was bad, but I survived.”
As President Joe Biden works to ramp up the supply of Covid-19 vaccines in the United States, public health officials and infectious disease experts warn of another big challenge for the new administration: A significant portion of the U.S. population will likely refuse to get vaccinated.
