      I did, hence i said:

      Even if they were not vaccinated for a while, there’s always a percentage of immunity.

      Sorry, but I’m not up to the fearmongering campaigns once again. The first response to Covid was totally out of measure in my opinion and they’re retrying it again.

        what-the-hell

        Inconveniencing boomers consuming their sit-in restaurant treats until they started blockading hospitals and breaking into government buildings until those inconveniences were rolled back was “out of measure?”

        Death is not the only negative outcome from Covid infection. When you consider the literature on Covid causing grey matter loss, prion disease, chronic vasculitis, cardiac disease, autoimmune disease, etc, you could argue death is actually one of the preferred outcomes.

        Immunity isn’t an on/off switch and the virus is mutating to escape immune detection. It seems like you do not have a solid grasp on the kinetics of vaccine and viral immunity, is there a question I can answer for you or would you like some resources that might help improve your comprehension?

          prion disease,

          Jesus. Please tell me that’s an extremely rare result. Because that is genuinely fucking terrifying.

            https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10047479/#:~:text=Current work suggests that there,prion disease%2C i.e.%2C neurodegeneration.

            Yeah it’s fully terrifying.

            I’m extra freaked that now Covid is endemic in the deer populations because Cervid Wasting Disease is also endemic and I’m afraid they will interact somehow…

                What’s really cool is that prion disease incubation period can be years 🙃

              If you really want to scare yourself go read about FIP, which is what happens to cats when they get repeatedly infected with coronavirus.

        Bruh.

        The curse of successful mitigation is skeptics will then say afterwards that ‘X was no big deal, look how few people died’

        Don’t be one of those.

          When we don’t put up with any “mitigations” this time, and nothing happens, you doomers will again be proven wrong. You still won’t admit it though

        What? 7 million people died from COVID-19. How many more would it have been without all the safety measures?

        We all knew you had already drawn your conclusion that this was “fearmongering” before seeing any facts.

        No one is going to logic you out of a position you didn’t use logic to get into in the first place.
