We dont have immunity, that's the point. read the article.
Did you read the article?
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.
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.
Because immunity varies by disease.
Chicken pox? Pretty much one and done. COVID? Falls off rapidly after 3 months, whether you catch it or get the vaccine
Plus, every mutation is a dice roll on how much existing immunity will apply. It could be exactly the same as the last strain, or the old immunity might not help at all
You could try reading the article instead of spouting nonsense.
It isn't as bad as 2020, but it isn't as harmless as the flu. There are still going to be public health concerns.
You seem anti-capitalist. Yet hear you are repeating far-right talking points.
Did you just wake up from a coma?
Exactly. Old media died years ago. Welcome to new media where the news isn't real and the only thing that matters is clicks
