I have been wondering about the loss of taste after covid. My fiance, my baby and myself recently had covid. My fiance and baby only had 2 rough days.. mine lasted about 3 weeks. All of us are unvaccinated.. my question is, why do you think we never lost our sense of taste? Lots of other people I know, vaxxed and unvaxxed, when they had covid they lost their taste. Could it be a bigger immune response that causes it? Its kinda strange.

There are many mysteries about Covid. Given that large-scale data collection has been permeated by both propaganda and outright fraud, I don't think it's possible to get a definite answer at this time. There is even the possibility that entirely different pathogens or very different variations of a similar pathogen were released in different places and times. The idea that it is caused by a combination of factors including radio frequencies (5G etc) and chemicals or parasites is also possible. I think we'll have to recognize that we won't know for some time.
That said, ACE2 receptors are ubiquitous throughout the body. It could easily be that wherever you get it first is random, depending on where the pathogen entered. Just like if two people walk in the forest and one gets a burr on their sock while another gets one on their sweater. That's my theory, but I'm content not knowing. I had a burning sensation in the eyes for a long time and terrible headaches for a short time, and never had a noticeable loss of taste or smell, even though I became extremely sick for over 3 weeks.
