COVID-19 Pandemic

The recent study where they intentional infected a bunch of paid volunteers and tracked what happened over the next year is really concerning. All of them have lasting brain damage and none of them can tell this occurred. The Long Covid studies are struggling to find healthy controls because there are a lot of people now walking around with the metabolic and vascular problems that are found in Long Covid but appear asymptomatic. This virus is doing a lot of damage and everyone is one infection away from their life being destroyed by Long Covid.

The studying I am referring to https://www.thelancet.com/journals/eclinm/article/PIIS2589-5370(24)00421-8/fulltext

Bare in mind it's one in 400k such studies showing the damage of Covid it's no outlier it's just really dumb.

When it became known that covid was neuro invasive, I got even more mad at the short sighted responses of 'herd immunity' and 'saving the economy'.

I bet that we see a huge spike in mental degenerative diseases with our generation.

I wear masks in the airplane and in airports still, and in places like Utah or Texas, people get extremely passive aggressive towards me when I do. I have had flight attendants pretend not to hear me and get angry that I have my mask up, random elderly strangers tisk at me when they pass by, just so much general hassle and passive seething for something that has nothing to do with them. It’s terrifying how much people seem to hate me just for not wanting to get sick.

I've had every recommended booster, got it from my dentist in July 2023 and spent a solid week in bed with what rivaled the worst flu I'd ever had. Actual flu, not "it's just the flu, bro" bullshit.

This was followed by a month of a wet racking cough and very congested lungs. I have no idea how much the vaccines and boosters reduced the severity of lessened any long covid, but I got my booster last year (months later) and will be doing so again very soon this year.

Why the hell would anyone want this virus?

Almost all illnesses are worth avoiding. Take for example, malaria. Dengue has 4-variants which can kill if you've already got any one of others the first time. COVID still hasnt been fully researched yet.

Having had it a few times, I do everything I can to avoid it.

As a minor living in an anti-vaccine family, having caught COVID thrice, oh no.

This is why we’re wearing masks right now at an airport terminal.

I've literally just had it and it sucked. Would not recommend.
