Found this interesting.

And this past Wednesday, almost 4,000 people died from COVID

But we have to "move on" for the sake of "the economy"
Plus people only talk about acute problems, while a great deal of viruses leave chronic problems visible sometimes even 30 years later (polio causing paralysis, mononucleosis virus causing multiple sclerosis, HIV causing AIDS...).

Medium term, we know that SARS2 can lead to long COVID in roughly 20% of adults and roughly 7% of children.
Those are huge numbers if you let the virus spread unmitigated.


We know that loss of smell and taste is on neurologycal level, and that SARS2 attacks the brain. Similar loss of smell is an early symptom of Parkinson:
Loss of Smell

There are early signs of Alzheimer signiture in attacked brains:
SARS-CoV-2 invades cognitive centers of the brain and induces Alzheimer’s-like neuropathology

Alzheimer's-like signaling in brains of COVID-19 patients:

My greatest fear:
SARS2 just spreads as a respiratory virus, but in the body it is a vascular virus attacking every organ with veins (i.e. literally every organ), therefore taking a much greater toll on immune system than more localized diseases.

SARS2 is differentiating our naive T cells to fight the virus at a great rate.
This is good for the next infection, but if we get infected every few months with no mitigation because it's "mild", in 10 years we might end up with an old immune system, incapable of fighting new diseases (in this way SARS2 has some similarities with HIV, although it is not directly killing T cells like HIV).
Similarities with HIV:

Children are ok now, but in case of unmitigated continuous spread of variants they might end up with naive T cells depleted in their 20s.

I forgot: polio, mononucleosis, HIV and a whole bunch of viruses are also similar to flu in the acute phase of the infection...




Western societies are playing with fire in the name of profit...
Or more precisely, short-term profit, because long term Chinese seem to be having less supply chain problems...

The levels of

:hhh::gucci::dwillhuh:

In this tweet thread are infinite. Seems like this started because of a mask mandate.

Americans have lost their goddamn minds.

The biggest blow to that info, is the fact that you're likely going to get covid anyway. :manny:

A recent John Hopkins study said lockdowns didn't do shyt.
https://www.wxyz.com/news/national/...ds-lockdowns-only-reduced-covid-deaths-by-0-2

Religious use of masking don't do shyt, Japan is having all time highs in cases rn. As far as stateside, states w/ mask mandates(NY, CA) had all time highs in cases recently.

Show me reports of fully vaxxed people dying by the thousands :coffee:

Where did I said that vaccines don't reduce death odds? :why:

My point, was that efforts to "stop the spread" don't work, because we're all going to likely get it anyway. "Stopping the spread" and having better odds of avoiding death are two vastly different things.

:mjgrin: I guess the right-wing is cancelling GoFundMe because of withholding $9M to Canadian Truckers with a Anti-Vax rally? :mjlit: So where do they go to now, when they need those Hospital Bills and Funeral costs paid? :wow: shyt is like PRIME Shaq, BBQ Chicken, GoFundMe is pushing them out of the paint.
