I know a few people that complain about the taste of certain foods now after covid. Especially dairy products. All those that I know that complain of this taste have had covid plus the jab. I have had covid twice and no jab, but everything tastes the same to me as it always has. I don't know anyone personally that has had covid, and no jab that says certain foods taste funny. There may be people that have not had the jab and say foods taste different. I'm just saying I don't know anyone personally, where that is true.
The wife and I had covid back in early November 2021. Without long term clinicals for the vaccines we decided to take our chances and not get vaccinated and instead rely on over the counter meds and the monoclonal antibody treatment if we came down sick with covid.
We didn't lose our sense of taste but it was distorted and everything tasted strange. For me it was eggs no matter how they were fixed, turned my stomach just smelling them whether they were boiled, scrambled or fried. Another one was tamales, I fixed us up some for supper and they tasted foul, it took until a month back to actually enjoy them again.
From talking to different people that have had covid it is amazing how different their experiences have been with it.
